INTRODUCTION
The M8000MD Snowblower is strong, efficient, safe and easy to operate and provide you with years of trouble-free
service. This snowblower works well in light, powdery or heavy, wet snow. A standard bolt-on replaceable tapered
cutting edge is incorporated to loosen the snow on impact and guide it into the chopping system contributing to
productivity. Our snowblowers use a helical feeding and chopping system as the main part of the blowing
operation. This design allows the snow to be gathered, fed into the fan and discharged thought the spout in one
motion. The snow is never forced to change direction. You can blow the snow into a truck or free-cast without
changing the spout.
Built to last, the body of the M8000MD is a uniframe construction which produces a shell of superior strength. The
fans are driven by a high strength aircraft quality shaft that is coupled to a splined shear hub. Each fan is
supported by bushings and bearings for cylindrical and thrust pressure. The M8000MD is designed with a
minimum number of moving parts. The drivelines are enclosed in an oil bath reservoir. They can be easily
adjusted from outside of the reservoir without removing the covers.
All functions of the blower are operated by a control panel located inside the cab or with an optional wireless
remote control.
Safety is an important element of this snowblower. The snowblower's engine is mounted directly behind the
blower unit. This gives the machines's operator a full range of sight for oncoming traffic and potential hazards in
the area. The weight of the snowblower is evenly distributed for a balanced machine.
The M8000MD is designed to attach to a commercial payloader used for snow removal. It fits front-end loaders,
trucks or four-wheel-drive tractors. The snowblower easily attaches to a loader using a quick coupler, specified by
Customer.
