John Deere 54-inch Heavy-Duty Snow Blower

Model Photo

54-inch

  • Cast-iron gearcase protects helical gears allowing steel impeller to maximize engine horsepower and provide superior snow throwing capacity and distance
  • Auger features shear bolts at each end for added protection to auger and drive system from chunks of ice or solid objects
  • Telescoping universal drive shaft makes hooking up easy

 

Features

Two-stage design is highly effective in deep snow

Auger with double center flighting on 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Snow Blower Auger with double center flighting on 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Snow Blower
60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Snow Blower 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Snow Blower

The low-speed auger picks up snow and moves it toward the center of the machine into the high-speed impeller, where it is blown out of the discharge chute.

 

To increase snow processing capabilities the Heavy-Duty Snow Blowers feature:

  • 23-in. (584-mm) housing height
  • 7.25-in. (184-mm) spout diameter
  • 16-in. (406-mm) diameter auger with double center flighting
  • Two drift cutters

Robust front 3-point hitch attaches implements in minutes

The heavy-duty snow blowers mount using a front 3-point hitch. Advantages of front 3-point hitch mounting are:

  • Robust construction designed for added strength and longer life than a quick-hitch
  • Consistent levelness throughout lift travel that improves snow placement
  • Higher lift heights that increase maneuverability around uneven sidewalks and curbs
    • On a 1025R Tractor, a heavy-duty snow blower lifts 1 in. (25 mm) higher than the quick-hitch snow blower.
  • Faster implement changes as portions of the front 3-point hitch can remain on the tractor when a loader or mid-mount mower deck is installed
  • The 3-point hitch’s A-frame quick attach system is an industry standard Category 0/1N design
    • Shared with the 366 Front Blade and 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Rotary Broom, allowing for tool-free, quick change between implements*

*NOTE: 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Brooms use a front 3-point hitch on 3033R-3046R, 3120-3720, model year 2017 and newer 2032R, and 2038R Tractors. Does not apply to 60-in. (152-cm) Heavy-Duty Brooms installed using a quick-hitch on 1023E, 1025R, 1026R, and 2025R Tractors.

The telescoping universal joint drive shaft provides easy attachment.

 

The heavy-duty cast-iron helical gearcase drives the impeller to maximize the engine horsepower and gives excellent throwing capacity and distance.

Durable auger drive

Durable auger drive Durable auger drive

The worm gear drive features the following:

  • Durable cast-iron housing
  • 5-to-1 reduction driving the snow-collecting augers at the most effective speed
  • Tapered roller bearings on both the input and output shafts for long life
  • Large output shafts, 1.25 in. (3.2 cm) in diameter, supported at each end of the auger housing by sealed ball bearings for smooth operation
  • Shear bolts (at the outer end of each half of the auger), protecting the auger and drive system from damage if a chunk of ice or other solid object should get caught in the auger
  • Four spare shear bolts in storage holes, located on the auger housing

Hydraulic chute control

Hydraulic chute control Hydraulic chute control

The chute can be rotated hydraulically 200 degrees (patent number 4,409,748):

  • Allows blowing snow in desired direction
  • Faster and more convenient than manual control
  • Tractor must be equipped with dual selective control valve (SCV)
Spout deflector Spout deflector

The spout deflector can be changed manually to control the height in which snow is blown.
