Wow, awesome units, a little big for my needs. I noticed there are no prices. But a 44hp motor, and an auto chute control, etc ,etc, i'm thinking it would be in the $15,000 range. We are now into the used bobcat range, with a blower attachment. Or a tractor with cutter, tiller and blower, and still 5k in my pocket. But it would fun to drive down the block with that baby! |

Very cool and the thing is they are single stage augers! It's not so much the type (single or two stage) it's the auger size and speed (larger diameter = greater tip speed for a given RPM), how much power is behind it, and how well the design is implemented. This is what I replaced my 10 HP 28" track drive two stage with:  (sorry for the bad pic, it's dark in the back corner of the garage) Hydraulic drive & lift, 21 HP, 900 RPM, 48" auger -- makes snow go away fast. Case/Ingersoll has been making this basically unchanged since the late 60's or early 70's. Mine is a 1983 and you can buy practically the same one new today.
