Our personnel are industry trained and certified and as a group represent over 300 years of lawn and garden, outdoor power equipment and turf equipment experience. Outdoor Power Equipment is our only business and we know it well. A short drive from historic Gettysburg, Pa Carlisle, PA or Frederick, MD will be worth the trip. We are minutes from Hagerstown, Md Shippensburg, PA Martinsburg, WV. Our store is on US RT 11 at Marion, PA.one mile from Interstate I-81 Exit 10. Started as a small engine repair shop with several basic equipment lines we have grown to be a turf supply house serving residential homeowners, commercial landscapers, institutions, industrial sites, campuses, local and state municipalities, and contractors. As the Market area has grown, Shanks has expanded to meet the changing needs of the turf industry. Lots of times it's better to go out to the other end of the drive first and only blow while travelling one direction.Since 1984, Shanks has supplied the turf equipment needs for the Cumberland Valley area of South Central PA. Shortly after you get one - and especially if you don't have a cab - you will figure out that it's better to start upwind and throw the snow across the drive to the downwind side than try to blow it to one side on the way out, and the other on the way back. First week I had it, I welded wider skids on the bottom to keep it from sinking into the gravel. I have a Meteor brand - it was cheap and it has worked great for 25+ years.
As Steve said - if you have a cab - you need a way to clear the glass on the back.Ĥ) Check the clearance between the impeller fan and the housing. Deep heavy wet snow takes lots of HP and if you have too large a blower, you overload the engine and then the blower fan speed drops and the snow goes no where.ģ) The wind will ALWAYS blow snow back at you, even when you blow it down wind. If you're wondering between a 6' and a 7', get the 6' (as long as it meets #1). Otherwise you will continually get stuck when you turn even slightly.Ģ) Don't oversize the blower. No cab, manual chute rotation.ġ) Make sure the blower is at least 8" wider than your tractor tire spread and loader bucket. I have a smaller (JD 855) tractor with a 60" 3 pt blower.
