Just because you have a 50hp engine in your loader doesn't mean you get 50hp out of your aux hydraulics. I'm not sure what psi your machine runs at but at 16gpm and 2250 psi you get about 20 hydraulic horsepower which isn't all that much for a 72" wide snowblower, heck those walk behind 24" units are close to that. One of the guys at work isn't all that patient and always complains the snowblower doesn't throw the snow very far but he's always trying to do everything at 90 miles an hour, go too fast and you'll overwhelm your blower motor and it won't blow far and/or it'll clog up… hope this helps!</blockquote>
