Avant 635 snowblower testing vol 2

Bit of repair and maintenance after it chewed some bricks. Running it with 2-pump mode ~50 l/min hydraulic oil flow at ~2500 rpm. Needs a bit more power than this Kubota V1505-E4B stage V 19 kW engine can provide but is still usable.

Nice buggy.
It looks like the paddles right in the middle where the snow is lifted into the center are bent straight. If they had a better angle you would throw further and move more snow faster. Less bogging down

Yup, those middle paddles need a stiffening gussets welded on the back, those got bent quite severly when the brick/stones went through.
As there's no model number plate on the blower and I can't find any similar one on the Internet, I suspect it might be a one-off protype blower, so maybe version 1.0 and lacking those reallife needed improvements.
