Arnold OEM-190-833 Fast Attach 46-Inch Snow Blade

I've had one of these plows on my Yard Man Autodrive 17 HP tractor since 2000. I've worked its buns off and now need another one. Yeah, if you wait until you have 10" of heavy wet snow on the ground, you better get out the two-stage 4 stroke snow blower! But if you have a reasonable approach to it, this little blade will handle it. Take it from a guy who plows several times a week and lives in the high Colorado Mountains. You just can't expect it to be as powerful as a pickup truck with an 8 foot plow, chains, 4WD, etc. It's not that bad and sure has saved my back for the past seven seasons. You've got to have the wheel weights and chains! That's an absolute MUST! Also, try using the angle setting when plowing heaver snow. That way the snow will fly to one side or the other. M & D Mower has this plow for $365 plus shipping.

I would not have expected this item to work well for fear of the tractor being to weak or the plow to flimsy or the snow too heavy, etc..., except that my neighbor owns one and I used it last winter with great success. I have used mine 4 times now, and actually enjoy plowing my driveway (and I do some of the neighbors'drives and our sidewalks). My driveway is approx 100 feet long, so it was a daunting task to shovel it in previous years. I initially started looking for a snow thrower, but was turned off by many bad reviews online. (not to mention, this is 1/2 the cost of a small gas snow thrower) My tractor does not struggle at all to push moderate levels of snow. I use it with the blade to the side, and sweep the snow to the side, rather than push it straight. This seems to work incredibly well. I can literally plow my driveway perfectly clean in under 10 minutes. Try that with a snow blower (or shovel)!

The item shipped fast. I had it Christmas week, within 3-4... Read more

I bought this snowplow because I had one like it many years back. That old one pushed a lot of snow! I sold my old tractor and blade. I decided to get another one for my newer garden tractor. I read the reviews and noticed a few people said that their plows arrived short some parts. I bet against the odds and figured it wouldn't happen to me. Yep! Sure enough, mine was short parts, too! The parts bag was intact with no tears or openings. I was missing the blade return spring, a handle bolt & hitch pin, and a number of other hitch pins. I had to go to the hardware store and pick the parts up there. Right now, I have purchased about $15.00 worth of necessary parts! How hard can it be to count out a small list of parts correctly?
