ZTR Front snow blower

[CountryFarmLandscape]

Does anyone know what compant manufactures the 55" snowblower that attaches to the front of most ZTR mowers? It's a Canadian company but I can't remember their name. It's not JRCo, but the snowblower system they made looked quite imptessive.

Thanks,
Brian

I answered my own question... stumbled across the company name in another thread. RAD technologies. Does anyone use their snowlblower attachment, and how does it work?


Thanks,

Is your ztr front wheel drive( grasshopper ) or rear wheel like exmark? Here is why I ask, my local dealer wouldn't even sell me a snow thrower for my rear wheel drive ztr. Part of the reason was traction and manuverability. The other part was dependibilty of the product. I have talked to guys with hopper that have snowthrowers on them and they have told me if you go slower than normal they work fine. But if you try to use it at mowing speed than you wont be happy.

I saw two snow blowers working yesterday, not counting mine, and could not stop to take a picture of either. One was on a ZTR Exmark the City was using to clear an outdoor skating rink they have. It had a cab and blower. I don't think there was chains, because they want to keep the ice smooth.

The second was at the air port. Man I wish I had the camera. This thing was throughing snow atleast 100'. I'm sure you all know the machine type I'm talking about. Two giant diesel engines. One to push the vehicle and one to power the blower.
