Original Message   Jan 23, 2005 6:44 pm
Hi...


For walkbehind snowblowers...

...what's the tallest intake height available ?


Would anyone want / buy one with a taller intake height ?
Skinny and tall...   maybe blonde too...  !   


Question came to mind after reading another post  with 30"+ deep snow...

I guess then 36" tall would be optimum to swallow up those drifts and EOD piles,but then we would need more horsepower. When I made the first cut with my machine (st1236) I had to roll forward stop and let the machine clear out and then roll forward again and stop etc.. - Kris

I think my buddy has a 32 incher on his 7 year old Murray track drive unit with the 13 hp engine.  I will have to confirm that with him Dave when I see him this week.

The intake height on Krislu's thrower must be 24 inches or so.
