Our newest piece of equipment around the shop, and actually not having anything to do with garden tractors, is our new Bercomac 2 stage ATV snowblower. We’ve gotten quite a few calls and e-mails about this one already. I say already because here in Minnesota we haven’t gotten any snow yet. We hadn’t really paid any attention to the ATV market until we saw this snowblower in the Bercomac brochure. We did just a quick comparison of the differences between the Berco and the only one or two other manufacturers that offer ATV or 4 wheeler snowblowers. What stood out to us was the 23 Horse Power Kohler engine with a de-icing system. The competition has a 13 HP engine. This snow thrower also has a unique control saddle for the needed switches. A nice detail we liked was the electric chute rotation and chute deflector. The snow blower has it’s own dolly wheels for support and uses frames from WARN or Bombardier.

Jim is always thinking up something new and is trying to figure out how to make it work with a John Deere Gator. The Gator is about 12 inches wider than the snowblower. Of course this is not what they are made for, at least not yet. He’s picturing one of our Gators with a Curtis Cab and the Berco snowthrower going out to battle a winter storm.
