2008 News Releases and Information

LENEXA, Kansas (August 07, 2008)– Property owners in heavy snowfall areas are always looking for economical ways to quickly and efficiently remove snow. For many customers, having uninterrupted access to private drives and roads, is critical during the winter. In response to customer demands for a cost-effective snow removal solution, Frontier Equipment introduces the new line of SB11 Series Snow Blowers.

"Our SB11 Series Snow Blowers give property owners outstanding affordable performance," says Michael Horrell, Frontier sales and marketing manager. "They also get piece-of-mind thanks to a one-year warranty on the snow blower, and two-year warranty protection on the gearboxes."

The hitch-mounted snow blowers are compatible with 16 to 90 PTO-hp tractors equipped with a PTO. Working widths range from 48 to 84 inches. Four impeller blades, an adjustable steel skid shoe, and welded cutting edge ensure long-lasting performance. Plus, each model is available with manual, hydraulic, or electric (cab tractors only) chute rotation.

Manual chute deflector adjustment is standard for all models. An optional field-installed hydraulic-cylinder chute deflector is also available.

"The hydraulic-cylinder chute deflector is beneficial for property owners who clear snow in between and around buildings. The deflector allows the operator to direct the flow of snow coming out of the machine with quick, easy adjustments, right from the tractor seat," says Horrell.

Frontier Equipment is a select line of reliable farm, commercial, and consumer equipment, complementary to John Deere products, sold exclusively by John Deere dealers to provide customers one-stop shopping for all their equipment, parts, and service needs.
