What do they mean by Bi-directional blade for wind-rowing snow???? Thanks!!

Blade is slanted at a angle or to side to push snow off to side when pushing.... then you can flip it over to have blade angle in opposite direction... watch you tube video and you will see them flipping it over to a different angle.... Hope this helps

There is an angle to the blade so when you push it the snow gets directed to one side. Then entire unit can then be flipped so if you want push now to the other side you can with ease. Youtube "snowcaster" there are lots of demonstrations.

The blade is at a 30 degree angle, so it plows the snow off to one side (right). If you flip over the handle, it plows the snow in the other direction (left).

blade is angled and can push snow to right or left ; you can flip blade on next pass or keep angled the same to keep pushing snow in same direction. I start in middle of driveway and can keep angle going towards outside. think of it like a snow plow pushing snow in front and off to the side also.

I can't tell you today as my cast iron equipment is all put away for the northern Wisconsin winter. We have 10 to twelve inches of snow predicted for the next couple of days. After that I'd be glad to dig it out and measure it for you. Write me back in a few days if you're still interested.Regards,Tom

Hi~ Speaking as a person who has not had ONE snowflake this entire season -& should have 5' in my yard now, I can give you last years' experience. You say 'STEEP BLACKTOP'. I can't endorse these or any other alleged gripping system because STEEP ICY BLACKTOP is so dangerous. It depends on you, your balancing style, how you move under that shovel and how you transfer your weight. Last year was ice-o-rama for two months. We all living on a slope. The people who wore stabilicers stayed upright. The one day that I did NOT wear mine, I took a bad fall. I leave for Maine in 2 weeks. My stabilicers are already packed. Just the words: steep blacktop,ice & shoveling' make me cringe! Good luck!

It's really to prevent ice, a de-icer. It's not meant as a snow removal method. Not sure it would be your answer.

It is just a rear blade for grading you can also plow a little snow with it. You will need to get the sleeve hitch from the people who made your garden tractor.

I've owned the Toro 1800 older model (38025) for around ten years. Live in the snow belt of Northern Michigan (we had nine inches today) and have a driveway with afton stone. My faithful Toro has done a great job of clearing the snow from my drive all these years, but the other day had one stone too many and I cracked the blades. I can get replacement blades and have it fixed (and probably will) but am also seriously looking at the newer model 38371. I looked at the Worx, which has steel blades, but Toro has been so trouble free over all these years, that I'll stick with the brand. BTW, it easily handles 12 inches of dry snow and can even carve through drifts with a bit of patience on the operator's part. EDIT: As it turned out, it would cost me $150 to have my old Toro fixed. No brainer: ordered the 38371 and happy dance, it will be here this Saturday.

No. Unfortunately you cannot adjust that, or the direction. I have the same issue and have to strategize when I do my back yard patio (I direct it at my house and then go back and direct that to the side of my house). I am trying to make some sort of "shield" out of hard rubber or plastic I can bolt to mine to modify it to direct the snow. The fact it only shoots straight up is the only big flaw with the unit I have encountered.

Its a little wide but it is a very strong push tube. Hook-up wise, I'm using a craftsman blade it looks fairly universal but no matter, the outcome will be me plowing snow on my king quad Warn/Craftsman rig!

If it is put together properly, the wind moves the blades accordingly. Sometimes it is together and someimes differently,sometimes only one blade will spin depending on the wind current!

Snow is blown forward and direction is not adjustable. Therefore, need to adjust for local winds on where to start snow clearance.

It is for ONE blade. I know they're expensive but I can say that so far they have been the best blades I've ever had on my truck. For the job they do at clearing my windshield, it has been well worth the money. I just hope that they last for awhile. The areo feature really does seem to push them down against the glass at highway speed, which was not the case with all of the other blades I have tried. It was so annoying to have that streak across my field of view at 65 mph. Its all gone with these blades.

Check the extension cord to make sure it's still good. Is the little key near the plug on the snowblower turned to the proper position? Is there some frozen snow or ice blocking the blades from turning?

I saw a brief video (perhaps @ the vendor's site?) which had a nice demo. Near the end of the "run" just do a little "fling" up. I find it works great with dry or wet snow. Just did a search - this demo looks good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9GgYKtBE9Q. PS: I also got the gravel attachment. Hope this is helpful. All the best. Pat

Because you can flip the blade so it will angle either right or left depending on where you want to push the snow there is not a rigid joint between the handle and the blade. When you push down on the handle it does not lift the front of the blade. That being said I love mine! My driveway has the usual "joint cracks" when it was poured and it does fine. I have a couple that are raised and you learn to go across them at and angle and it doesn't catch. This works great with lighter snow of course but I have used it on 4 inches and I am a almost 60yo female. What I like is that you can go out every couple of inches and clear it quickly so it doesn't get ahead of you. I also have a snow blower so I will push the snow to the side with the snow caster and then just make one pass with the blower down either side so I clear the entire width of the drive. Hope this helps.

Your "shave plate(or bar)" may need adjusted or replaced. It's on the bottom of the snow thrower. The plate adjusts to allow the paddles to get closer to the ground as they wear.

I currently don't own this anymore. I upgraded to a gas powered Troy Bilt. When I did own this, I believe the blades were a hard rubber. I don't remember them being replaceable, but I could be wrong. It does okay in light snow. Anything with ice, a lot of snow, or packed snow this doesn't work well. If you just have a small area, this would be a good one to have

Yes, either one. However you might want to purchase the wind screen for cold riding.
