who sets impeller speed??
Original Message   Jan 8, 2010 5:59 pm
husqvarna higher end snowblowers have a high speed impeller.Honda impellers rotate at a higher rpm compared to toro,ariens simplicity etc.Is this just a company decision ?Are there reasons why an Ariens or Simp dont set their rpms higher?

I believe this is the kit that gives you the high speed impeller on the lower end Husky, Poulan and Craftsman equivalents.

http://www.m-and-d.com/AY-187724.html

Basically a different auger pulley and belt. This used to be referenced on Husqvarna website last year but I don't see it now.

Also listed here:

"http://www.jackssmallengines.com/husqvarna_snowblower_accessories.cfm

"Designed for rural use where snow needs to be removed to a max distance. Not designed for residential use. Increases the snow throw 30%. Requires minor belt adjustment. Includes pulley, belt and instructions."

You mean these new year resolutions?

"Starting Jan 1,2010 I will not be boasting about how great my Simplicity Pro 11570E snow blower is.I will not be highlighting all of its great features such as the easy turn,cast iron auger gear case,B&S 11 1/2 hp ohv engine,c channel handle bars welded to the frame,all steel box frame,creeper gear ,ball bearing auger support,all steel construction,4 blade impeller,grease zerks,etc etc.Instead I will be highlighting how great other peoples machines are.Even yours AA and knee biter  ....Happy New Year everyone............"

and these?

"wow I better be careful,since I own a Simplicity Pro 11570E hehehe.I know AA has his eye on it....lol..."

Slow to learn, quick to forget.  Carry on chap.

It's only Jan 9 and you're already throwing in the towel.  Over-promised and under-delivered.   Failed!

Lets hope for 2011, you can make some progress on that sophomoric behavior.

That says it all-The ability to throw great distances is not desirable where houses are set close together or in urban settings like New York City where the Sanitation Dept. will give you a Summons for blowing snow into the street.

 In addition you can't get something for nothing. If you adjust the size ratio of the pulley system to increase the rpm of the fan then under load you are going to need more HP to take advantage of the distance potential of the new pulley size. If they achieve a 30% increase with the same HP engine the unit must be over designed  to begin with. I wonder what happens when you hit the EOD with the high speed set up. If the available hp  is now being used to achieve high fan speed I don't think the end of driveway performance in plow packed conditions would be as good.
