2022 John Deere Heavy-Duty Snow Blower 60-inch

2022 John Deere Heavy-Duty Snow Blower 60-inch

• Wide 59-inch (150-cm) clearing capacity makes quick work of clean up

• Cast-iron gearcase protects helical gears

• Impeller maximizes engine horsepower for superior snow throwing capacity and distance

• Auger features shear bolts at each end for added protection to auger and drive system from chunks of ice or solid objects

Features may include:

• The low-speed auger picks up snow and moves it toward the center of the machine into the high-speed impeller, where it is blown out of the discharge chute.

• To increase snow processing capabilities the Heavy-Duty Snow Blowers feature:

• 23-in. (584-mm) housing height

• 7.25-in. (184-mm) spout diameter

• 16-in. (406-mm) diameter auger with double center flighting

• Two drift cutters

• The heavy-duty snow blowers mount using a front 3-point hitch. Advantages of front 3-point hitch mounting are:

• Robust construction designed for added strength and longer life than a quick-hitch

• Consistent levelness throughout lift travel that improves snow placement

• Higher lift heights that increase maneuverability around uneven sidewalks and curbs

• On a 1025R Tractor, a heavy-duty snow blower lifts 1 in. (25 mm) higher than the quick-hitch snow blower.

• Faster implement changes as portions of the front 3-point hitch can remain on the tractor when a loader or mid-mount mower deck is installed

• The 3-point hitch’s A-frame quick attach system is an industry standard Category 0/1N design

• Shared with the 366 Front Blade and 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Rotary Broom, allowing for tool-free, quick change between implements

• The telescoping universal joint drive shaft provides easy attachment.

• The heavy-duty cast-iron helical gearcase drives the impeller to maximize the engine horsepower and gives excellent throwing capacity and distance.

• The worm gear drive features the following:

• Durable cast-iron housing

• 5-to-1 reduction driving the snow-collecting augers at the most effective speed

• Tapered roller bearings on both the input and output shafts for long life

• Large output shafts, 1.25 in. (3.2 cm) in diameter, supported at each end of the auger housing by sealed ball bearings for smooth operation

• Shear bolts (at the outer end of each half of the auger), protecting the auger and drive system from damage if a chunk of ice or other solid object should get caught in the auger

• Four spare shear bolts in storage holes, located on the auger housing
