How Big Should an Auger Be? Original Message Oct 12, 2010 1:10 am
Most sub $1000 snowblowers have 12" augers, usually with 12" impellers. Ariens has 14" augers and impellers on their Deluxe, Platinum, and Professional lines; Simplicity/Deere/Snapper have 14" augers on their large frame and professional models with 12" impellers, Toro has 14" augers with 12" impellers on their PowerMax series. Honda uses 14" augers on its larger models. MTD's Cub Cadet and Sears Professional lines have 16" augers and impellers. However the Husqvarna Crown has 12" augers of a different design.

But the article doesn't answer the original question ... how big is the auger on that thing? Impeller speed? With that kind of power, it should have a 18"x72" auger, and a 18" impeller at 1800 RPM. Clarence kit, of course. Remote start because by doing your driveway in 2 passes, it won't run long enough to properly warm up, and you'll need it warmed up so that radiator can serve as your heater on those cold days. Maybe nitrous injection for the EOD?
Who the hell let all the morning people run things?
