In reading through the documentation that shipped with the Agriease 72" blower, the manufacturer cautions more about using too large of a tractor than using a tractor with less horsepower. Although I bought this snow blower for use with my 40hp tractor, I also have an older 32hp tractor and that has plenty of power to run this unit. So, your 30hp tractor should be just fine.

I have switch my hand crank over to a 12 volt system by using a 12 volt scissor jack. It was easy and inexpensive. It has a sealed motor and it also has a gearbox so it gives it allot of torque and turns at the same spend as doing it by hand.

The gearbox on the snow thrower has a plug and sight glass on the side where oil can be added. Oil can also be added through the top of the gearbox with a bendable funnel. We are unable to provide a photo at this time.

This snow thrower includes grease zerks on the auger. The crank handle is in a fixed position and is not adjustable. There are skid shoes on the bottom of the unit to adjust the height. The pto shaft is included.

Like the rest of the snow blower, the skid shoes look very stout, but if needed, new shoes could easily be welded onto the brackets.

I did quite a bit of research on this unit and discovered that it has been designed to eventually accept a hydraulic motor for the chute.I was informed that motors will not appear as an option this year but should be available next season.

As far as "adjusting" the chute crank handle, I don't think it would take much to add a knuckle to the existing handle and build a support arm to allow the additional handle to be angled up towards the operator's seat. But, this would require some modification of the snow blower. Not sure how that would affect the warranty

Another inexpensive option to consider (which would not require any modifications) would be to find a used 12-volt "seat motor" from a salvage yard. Many people have used these motors to turn the chute. They have lots of torque and the speed is just right. Do a search on your favorite video site for "Snowblower Electric Chute modification" and you'll see how others have added this feature.

It will easily fit in your pickup bed. It's strapped to a pallet, so any forklift can set it in your truck. Make sure you strap it down securely as it wobbles a great deal even when strapped to the pallet. I have a set of fork blades that I attach to my loader bucket and used this to unload the blower from the back of the semi that delivered it. It was not the most stable load I have ever moved but I was able to get it lowered to the ground without incident.

I love this snow blower This is a great value. Half price when compared to an implement dealer and equal quality. Had some huge snow last year, over waist high drifts and it walked right through them. Throws snow over 25 feet. Excellent Quality! January 16, 2012

First Impression from normally snowy MI Well, I ordered this thing in early fall to be sure I had it in time for snow. So far, only 1 measurable snowfall has occurred, and that melted off in a couple of days, so the unit has never been run. However, Northern asked me for a review, so here it is: - The unit seems well made. No skimping on the steel. Like others said, the main body is 1/4" plate. I really like the fact that the main gearbox is safely packaged behind the auger instead of in the middle of the auger like many other 2- stage units. I like the heavy #60 drive chain. I like the shearbolt protection for the auger. There is also a shearbolt in the driveline, but that looks like it could be a pain to access if it sheared. I appreciate that it arrived fully greased up with the blue waterproof grease. I like the fact that it appears to use all standard bearing inserts in standard sized flange blocks. You could repair this thing with parts right from TSC or McMaster. I like the fact the lift arms are bolt-on and have several inches of telescoping adjustment. It does run smooth, nearly silent, and seems well balanced. The include driveline is very nice quality. I really like the price, given what comparable equipment costs locally. I did not like the extremely sloppy fit of the chute to the body. I ended up having to make another 1/8" plastic ring to take up the slack in the fit. This was after the wholesaler sent me the plastic ring, which was lost in shipment due to some rough handling along the way. I did not like that the top link attachment has a bolted splice joint right in the middle of it. I'm very tempted to weld this solid as it's a tad flimsy. I guess it's made this way for compact shipping. The welding overall is fair. Not gorgeous by any means, but it appears functionally decent. Could be better and is on most domestically made stuff I see. Mine arrived with a defective auger drive chain. I found this during a close inspection while getting the chain all lubed up and ready to go. There was actually a side link missing, which made the chain VERY weak. Lucky for me I found it or it would have made an ugly mess when it inevitably failed. The wholesaler ( Braber) was very good about sending a replacement, but not so lucky for me that process took about 10 days from WA to MI, so the unit was not operable during the one big snow we actually did have. I also discovered that the bolt retaining the fan was not tight and allowed the fan to move endwise on the shaft. I caught this in inspecting it and corrected it. The factory had applied some loctite, but it was not in the right spot, nor had they cleaned the bolt of oil, so it did not hold. I ran a tap thru to clean-up the threads and installed a quality bolt with a hi-collar lock washer. This would have been a mess too if not caught. I guess my experience so far is that you should expect a good basic design, but you had better check it over carefully before 1st use and expect to possibly have some interaction with the folks at Braber to get it right after you rec'v it. For me, it still seems like a major bargain, but for some who can afford more or who are not able to handle basic repair and adjustment, you might be more satisfied with something that comes with local support and a more recognized brand. This is made in China, and I'm none too thrilled about that, but for me it was the only affordable choice. The included manual is pretty worthless. You do get an exploded picture, but it is not necessarily 100% correct and there have been changes made over time. Beyond that, it really lacks for any useful info. For example, it does not even tell you how to determine the correct oil level in the gearbox, which you really need to check before use. I would really like to see Northern do a better job supporting their customers by offering parts for stuff like this. I may end up calling Braber and trying to buy a spare gearbox to have on hand in case I need it a few years from now when the unit is no longer supported. Like I said, most other parts are off-the shelf, but Northern should catalog the gearboxes, plastic chute rings, and maybe some sprockets right on their site so serious buyers could purchase spares up front. If it ever snows here again ( we are probably a few feet behind normal now), I'll post an update after actual use. For now, I guess it has worked perfectly, as my drive has been 100% snow free and it's already mid January! January 9, 2012

Great snow thrower at a reasonable price It became my responsibility this winter to clear the 1/8th mile lane I share with my neighbors. I decided to get this 72in thrower after much research. It's been great being able to clear snow once instead of having to keep pushing it into piles. I use it on a 30hp tractor and have had no problems with power, you just have to slow down for the really deep snow. I would say it cuts my snow removal time in half over just using a blade. I ended up taking off the replaceable skid shoes since they raised the blower off the ground too much and caused too much snow to be left behind. If I figure out how to attach a rubber scraper the length of the blower then I'll probably put the shoes back on. Otherwise it's been working great without the shoes. I have no complaints about the blower but kinda wish it had a hydraulic chute rotator. It has the brackets for mounting one so it is possible. February 2, 2011

A great value backed by incredible support I normally do not have the time, or inclination, to write product reviews. I am so impressed, on so many levels, with this product, the manufacturer and Northern Tool, that I felt I should let others know about my buying experience. I must admit, I was very skeptical of a 72" snow blower that sells for about half of comparable units. I did research on Braber Equipment and had some questions for them before buying the Agriease blower. The customer support folks at Northern Tool were great about putting me in touch with the right person at Braber. He was able to answer my questions about quality, pricing and parts availability. I felt so comfortable with his replies that I immediately got one on order. Mine arrived considerably sooner than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. As with any 700lb item that is shipped, there is always the chance of freight damage and my new snow blower did have some minor damage. The Northern Tool customer service reps were very responsive and gave me instructions on how to handle it. The folks at Braber had a part ready to ship immediately, so I could not have asked for it to be resolved any faster. Upon arrival, I honestly expected to see a snow blower that resembled a high-school metal shop project. What I received was a well-constructed piece of equipment that will still be working long after I am gone :) The fit and finish is the same as what I see on other brands sitting on implement dealer lots. Bottom line, if you are looking for a solid snow blower at an incredible price, do not hesitate to buy the Agriease. November 7, 2010
