ASSEMBLY
Danger: Tractors Too Big
It is dangerous to use a tractor that is too big and
powerful. The tractor will always be able to
overload the blower, even if the machine is
already at maximum capacity. Furthermore,
tractors being very high, the driveline angles will
be excessive which means the universal joints
will be very vulnerable and the life of the driveline
will be dramatically reduced.
The universal joint angle is directly related with
the life of driveline. In order to reduce the angle, it
is necessary to increase the distance between
the snowblower and the tractor.
