Blue Diamond Attachments debuts heavy duty snow blower

Blue Diamond Attachments is expanding its line of snow removal attachments with a heavy duty snow blower. 

Available for skid steer loaders, the heavy duty snow blower provides excellent performance under both wet and dry snow conditions. With 28-cm chute diameter, the new snow blower attachment is built to move high volumes of snow quickly and comes in cutting widths from 1.5 metres to 2.4 metres. 

“The addition of this heavy-duty snow blower to our line of snow removal attachments could not come at a better time for contractors and municipalities who are looking to update or upgrade their existing fleet,” said Drew Truan, Chief Operating Officer at Blue Diamond Attachments. “Our new snow blower is compatible with most OEMs, it’s built to withstand the harshest of winters, and it is supported by Blue Diamond and our extensive dealer network.” 

Key features of the new Blue Diamond heavy-duty snow blower include:

Steel ribbon flighting: To move the heaviest wet snow to the awaiting fan, the Blue Diamond snow blower uses machine formed hand welded 48-cm augers made with high tensile steel ribbon flighting to provide strength and durability. 

A five-blade fan: A standard 66-cm diameter 5 blade fan not only moves high volumes of snow quickly, but also features tighter tolerance to the housing to increase velocity of the snow exiting the chute.

Pin-style deflector: Blue Diamond snow blowers come with a manual pin style deflector allowing a true set it and forget approach to blowing snow.

Adjustable skid shoes: The heavy-duty snow blowers come equipped with adjustable skid shoes extending the life of the cutting edge and helping to protect surfaces from damage commonly associated with snow removal.

A hydraulic rotator: The hydraulic rotator on the chute is ideal for skid steers with cabs or for contractors that make frequent adjustments.

Hydraulic line check valves: The valves prevent reverse rotation and allow the motor to overrun after the valve is shut off.

Various plug features: This feature allows for any skid steer to be used with the heavy-duty snow blower.
