1200 snow removal
Hi,looking for opinions, about picking up a snowblower/snowthrower. Of the ones to fit my 1200, what is the most reliable,best built unit. I have about 200' of concrete driveway. We typically don't get dumped on but every few storms it lets loose. I have a blade and a 24" Ariens I use now. Its about the same time wise with either machine.
Thx Dan 190-364-100 45" Snowthrower (IH Design) Haben Snowthrowers H42, H48, H48, H42, 353, 354 QA36A, QA42A Snowthrowers |
The Haban H48 won't work on your QL. Neither will the 353/4. Only the H42.
QA42A is the most common and easy to find. ALL other options are not as common and can be hard to find. If you want a snowthrower, you may pick any of the models you listed (that fit) as there are basically no difference other than size.... with one exception. The 364 blower requires a specific adapter to run on a QL tractor. They weren't a common blower and finding the correct mounting parts is difficult on a perfect day. QA42A is your best bet. That said, you will need a creeper on your 1200 to run a snowthrower/blower. Does it have one? |
The QA36A or QA42A Snowthrowers were designed for the 1200.

Nope, no creeper. I read the first 20+ pages here about blowers/throwers. I saw lots had mentioned keeping it loaded to throw properly. My hopes were on typicals snows it would work better than I hoped :biggrin2:. But if thats not the case than so be it. Is a creeper hydro only? If not difficult to install? Is it another gear set?

While it worked well, there was a LOT of shifting required between gears and high and low range. Let's just say it was an incentive to fix the K-301 for the 125. And yes, you can bolt a QA implement onto a NF without the QA mounts. |

Can't go very fast when it's deep. I'll have to look and see if I have a video of the same tractor with the 450 blower on it. |
My pops has a 450 on an 1811. Heavy piece but man does it work!
