Read articles →A new owner with about seven hours on his 1835M films a cell-phone walkthrough of two implements: an 8-foot blade and a 60-inch Farm King snow blower carried over from his previous John Deere 1026R. He notes a sticky range selector, demonstrates the soft-start PTO, and shows the blower clearing a heavy windrow. Shallow but honest; best for shoppers curious about real-world snow performance on a nearly new machine.
Posted by the Empirical channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing early impressions from their own farm with no evident commercial affiliation.
Yes, the owner says the 8 foot blade works just fine even in heavy snow and the tractor has plenty of power.
It works pretty well even though the tractor is about 65 inches wide and a bigger blower would be ideal, according to the owner.
The range selector feels a little sticky, so the owner taps the throttle to hop it into range without grinding gears.
The PTO has a soft start that engages so smoothly it is barely audible, starting around 220 RPM before bringing it up to operating range.
