Snowblower chute idiot bars…

[nbryan]

I ripped the bars out of my B2782B blower chute the other day. Seems to clog less now. Also, once ice starts building up in there there's more "escapee" ice crystals while blowing that get flung sideways more than up and out and float in the air around the tractor.
Seems to be less of that "ice fog" generated now the guard bars are gone, too.

I'm quoting my own post because I jinxed myself......

Blower plugged pretty good for the first time in 10 seasons. I've blown A LOT of snow in that time.

Two-day storm with about 9" of snow, with intermittent rain.... I also do road shoulders in front of mailboxes, etc. Bit it off in 3 trips when home from work, so not all 9” at once….

Can’t blame the blower. I was doing part of the lawn at the time, peeling right down to the grass, and pulling some real wet stuff with it.

The Idiot Bars are GONE!!

Said I should have done that before, but always forgot. Not an issue tonight…

Given conditions, not sure the bars caused the plug, but sure didn’t help….

And now you have a nice barbeque fork for flipping steaks or burgers!

Today will be a good test for my “non-idiot bar” chute. 16” of heavy snow in central NH and still snowing. UPDATE:
Well, I8” of heavy wet snow and no clogging! Blower performed like it should for $5k+
