The video walks through his workarounds, slipping to neutral instead of clutching, speed selection across two usable ranges, and a leapfrog technique for deep drifts. Practical and honest; best for B2401 owners weighing a rear snowblower purchase.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own rural Ontario property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
The B2401 has a live PTO tied to the main clutch, so pushing the clutch to stop also cuts power to the snowblower, causing it to jam.
Slip the transmission into neutral instead of using the clutch, reducing engine speed slightly as you approach the stop point.
Use low range (1.3 km/h) for snow over 8 to 10 inches, and medium range (4.2 km/h) for shallower snow.
Clear in 4 to 5 foot sections, lifting the blower when you lose traction, moving forward, then dropping it to scoop leftover snow.
