Craftsman 14" High Lawn Tractor Snow Blade —
I have read all 50 reviews to date, agree with most, my experience has been good, I am on second blade, having sold first one with 12HP Sears Lawn Tractor after 10 years. My tractor now is 17HP Poulan(from Sears)for 11 years, still a little short on power. Plowed a whole lot of snow with most successes, minor isues, trying to think I had a D-8. All depths up too 23 inches, and context dry to heavy wet. If you plow wet, do it before it sets it or forget it. Many reviews mention slipping, sliding, if you encounter that, get a set of chains for the front also, YES they are available, probably have to look around. I have never in 21 years had chains come off, jack up the rear of the tractor, and put them on correctly to begin with. Make sure they are tight. Try putting in a couple of extra pounds of air in the tires when chains are on to tighten them. I have never used wheel weights, weigh around 225, so it works. I can understand problems folks encounter when trying to put blade together. I even had to hesitate on my second one. Took about an hour and a half both times. I would have rated a 5 except for the unit that the blade mounts on with the 2 pins you attach lift to. Its alloy, very soft. I thought about having a machine shop make one out of steel. I order the units 3 at a time every other year. Its a natural annoyance I have to live with. When plowing a driveway, angle plow down the middle and move snow to the sides. makes it much cleaner. Always plan on where you push to, and allow for a full winters activity (storage) I do many local driveways, sidwalks, etc, and skids have never worn out. I keep the blade as far down as I can. In a normal North Idaho winter, I usually plow 15 - 30 times sometimes up to 4 -5 hours a day. Just remember you don't have a D-8.Craftsman 14" High Lawn Tractor Snow Blade
