I am about to share utterly useless information...haha but, from my experience,
1. you need to use ground speed to keep the snow blower mostly full but not bogging down.
2. prior to snowblowing I always leave my snowblower tractor out side (under roof but not in a heated space) so it stays cold, otherwise the warm snowblower gets clogged up with snow very quickly. but if you do keep it inside, once you have been out for a short period of time it equalizes temp quickly.
3. I snowblow gravel drives. the paint on the inside of my blower takes a beating so I spray the entire inside with wd40 or pb blaster or some other light oil to keep snow from sticking.
4. and the last thing is same with the mower deck and any other PTO driven accessory, I always run WOT.
I am in wet heavy snow most of the time (lake effect snow) typically never than 2 feet at a time, but occasionally we get the light fluffy stuff but that is never a problem to snowblow.
