I've found that I could easily bog down the engine (22 hp Kaw.)
The snow was very fluffy, blower is 47" by about 24". Also it would tend to push snow ahead if I pushed it at all, probably more than 1 mph. Would the faster auger speed on the single stage handle the large amounts better? Not that I'm planning on changing, just curious. After I got through the first pass I could cut down on the width and it wasn't a problem. Do your machines run out of power? Mine has 1300 hours on it, maybe it's getting weak.
I'd added the two channel out the back for mounting a tool box or weights, but with the chains and wheel weights found it to be unnecessary. I did mount a generator on there and ran a small heater in the cab, but it had no effect so I abandoned the idea. The doors don't fit very tight and it would be difficult to fit in a larger heater. More heat might cause windshield fogging so I'll stick with warm clothes. Keeping the snow and wind off makes the cab a necessity for me even without adding heat.
