I just came across a brand new Oshkosh blower, and it got me thinking about commercial snow blowing. These machines really seem like they could revolutionize snow removal on a larger scale. Has anyone here used Oshkosh blowers for commercial work? I'd love to hear your insights on how they perform and hold up over time
 
Oshkosh blowers are very powerful devices. 5,000+ tons per hour, 200-foot throws, and ALL-STEER for confined spaces make this machine ideal for heavy commercial work and airports. Some more recent models have more than 1,000 horsepower just for the blower head. These are expensive up front, but with proper care, they should last for decades. They are the best available for large municipal or contract work, but they are a complete overkill for small operations
 
Oshkosh blowers are good for clearing airports, highways, or city routes, they're built for exactly that but they're overkill for smaller ops tho haha and maintenance ain't cheap either, the parts can take a while, and they guzzle up fuel like crazy.
 
These guys are top-tier, no question. Great for major operations, but honestly, overkill for the average business. Most places just wouldn't need all that
