Deadguy 861 #1 Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) I took the Ranger out in the snow for the first time today, and it did great! Granted, it was the first snow of the season, and only about 2", but it still performed quite well. It does have loaded HiRun ag tires and weights, but I think I will still need to get chains for when the ice forms on the ground under the snow. Here it is in the workshop warming up after!

slammer302 2,156 #3 Posted December 5, 2016 I've always thought a snow blower mounted to a lawn ranger looks cool 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 11,421 #6 Posted December 5, 2016 Deadguy/Terry M. : Glad to see another LAWN RANGER with a 32 inch snowblower. You will fall in love with it! I have been using mine for about six or 7 years. As I tell my wife and other Wheel Horse owners, it won't throw the snow 30 feet but it does great on wet and dry snows. I ususally coat the chute each year with Sno-Jet , a product that Simplicity sold for its snowblowers. Keeps the chute slick for wet, heavy snow. Auger can sometimes ice up . Overall though it is a lot easier than shoveling and a lot more fun riding the Lawn Ranger tractor. I used chains on tread tires one year ( no extra weights) but I actually like that you can use your feet to push the tractor on the ground if you get stuck . I try to keep my blower at least an inch off the ground to keep from getting any icey buildup too. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ranger still got it done quickly (or at least it seemed that way!). 38 minutes ago, Lane Ranger said: Deadguy/Terry M. : Glad to see another LAWN RANGER with a 32 inch snowblower.

Any small engine shop? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,421 #10 Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I use to buy it on Ebay but I think any big small engine shop that sells snowblowers, etc should have it or soemthng similar. Also thry to make sure not rust in the chute that snow or ice can grab on to easily!
