PTO SNOW BLOWER

FAQs

What size snowblower do I need for my driveway?

It depends on how much snow you get and the size of your driveway. For small residential driveways, single stage snow blowers or battery snow blowers are enough to clear light snow quickly. But for longer or gravel driveways in rural areas, you'll need a larger, tractor-powered model.

At Farmry, we recommend our TBS48 for properties up to 300 ft long, and the TBS72 for farms or large lots. These two stage snow blowers are built to throw snow farther and handle deep snow without clogging or slowing down.

Which are better, two stage snow blowers or three stage snow blowers?

Two stage snow blowers are the most common and reliable option for homes and farms. They use an auger to scoop and an impeller to blow snow far from the area, even in heavy snow.

Three stage snow blowers are more advanced. They add a third accelerator to move snow even faster and are best for pros who need commercial grade features. For most people, especially tractor users, a two stage is the right snow blower—simple, powerful, and less expensive.

What makes PTO snow blowers different from gas or battery models?

PTO snow blowers connect directly to your tractor and use its engine power instead of relying on gas engines or batteries. This gives you more strength to handle deep snow and clear wide paths in less time.

Compared to battery snow blowers or power snow shovels, PTO models can clear more snow faster and throw it farther—ideal for rural properties, farms, or anyone dealing with regular heavy snow.

Do I need a snow blower with storage space in mind?

Yes—storage space is something to think about! While compact single stage snow blowers or power snow shovels store easily in a small garage, PTO models like ours may require a shed, barn, or covered area.

If space is limited but you still need power, go for the TBS48, which is more compact but still packs a punch. Just make sure your tractor and space can accommodate its size during the off-season.

When should I consider buying a right snow blower?

If your old machine struggles to throw snow, breaks down often, or takes too long to clear your property, it's time to invest in a new snow blower. Also, if your needs have changed—like moving to a bigger property or getting more snow than before—upgrading ensures better results and fewer headaches.

Look for snow blowers with stronger engine power, better build, and the right match for your environment. Whether you're stepping up from a single stage or adding a blower to your tractor, Farmry can help you choose the right snow blower.

🧭 How to Choose the Right PTO Snow Blower

Choosing the perfect PTO snow blower depends on a few key things:

1. Your Tractor’s HP (Engine Power)

• Our TBS48 works with 20–40 HP tractors.
• The TBS72 handles larger snow volumes with 25–90 HP compatibility.
  This power setup is much stronger than what you'll find on residential lawn mowers or standard walk-behind snow tools.

2. Snowfall Amount

If you're regularly facing heavy snow or need to clear deep snow, the TBS72 is ideal. For moderate conditions or tighter areas, the TBS48 offers excellent performance while saving on storage space.

3. Desired Snow Blowers Range

Need to throw snow far from your path? The TBS72 with its 4-blade impeller offers an extended snow blowers range—perfect for long driveways, large yards, or open fields.

4. Control & Convenience

Both models come with easy-to-use chute control, allowing you to direct snow exactly where you want it. While PTO blowers don’t have electric start like smaller gas or battery snow blowers, they connect to your tractor’s PTO system, starting with the turn of a key—no cords or button delays.

5. Your Property & Terrain

For farms, gravel roads, or commercial areas, go with a snow blower that includes commercial grade features like serrated augers, hardened blades, and adjustable skids. Our blowers are more powerful and durable than standard lawn mowers or power snow shovels—they're built for real winter work.

6. Budget & Efficiency

If you're upgrading from a single stage snow blower, our two stage snow blowers provide a huge boost in performance. Unless you need pro-level speed, three stage snow blowers may be overkill. Choose the right snow blower based on your snow conditions, not just features.
