A lot of guys spray them down with graphite to help them feed better. I used my skidloader and blower yesterday and we had a wet, heavy snow so I have to go really slow or it will plug too. If it's powder, then I can fly.

Wet heavy snow is just plain hard to deal with whether it's a thrower or blower. Best you can do is run it full throttle and adjust your ground speed accordingly.

Pam cooking spray works also. Also make sure to not go from a warm shop to outside and blowing right away...as that will plug also. Allow time for the blower to cool down before starting.

Got a Plow but with fresh limestone in the driveway at 150 ton and $12 a ton the blower keeps less of the stone in the drive...heavy wet 3 foot drifts are also hard to move with Plow. Thanks fellas I did take your advice and it worked better.

I use a 450/451. I get less plugging if I go faster for slush and very wet snow. I think this works because the volume of slush keeps things moving in the chute. This will be a problem with deep wet snow. I also found that it helps to take the spring loaded safety guard out of the chute.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
