Just get your tractor going and take it easy with it until you can see what it will do.  It was made to do the job -you just can't do it all at once,!

Tractor speed,,,,attack it SLOWLY. Let the auger do the work. Trial and error, your not in a rush. HIGH REVS on the auger. Remember,,,,take your time. Best of luck & dont forget some pics if possible. Good luck.

My 416-8 worked well in 20" of snow with the 38" two stage ber vac blower ......best bet is to get out there when you have no more than  foot to 14" at a clip,  use low gear....or 1st high  and feather the clutch....don't take bites any longer than the length of the tractor ,,back out of the snow and keep your paths wide so the machine doesn't get stuck...Just take your time....

Yes....yes.....and yes. All good advice. My blower, a single stage, does a great job BUT it will clog in a heart beat if I enter the snow too quickly. A two stage blower seems to be a little more 'clog resistant' thanks to the slower auger speed and the fast fan speed. But the single stage will do the trick as long as you allow the auger to chew and spit the snow. Of course cold, dry snow will blow much easier than heavy, wet snow. So be governed accordingly. And of course, remember, if the blower does become cloged be sure to shut down before you stick your hand or a cleaning tool down the chute. We don't like 'red snow'. Have fun and B-Safe.
