Can you adjust the distance snow is to be thrown?

I have not been able to find anywhere that you can adjust the distance on mine

The chute adjusts up and down, so it is thrown further away when it is in the down position. Think of it like a water hose, when it's aimed more upright in the air, the water falls closer to you.

I believe the "A" version has the "joystick" that controls the height of the chute opening that allows control of how far the snow is thrown. The non-"A" version does not have this and I believe cost a little less.

Hello, this machine does make snow like shavings, and i also discovered that you can adjust it, but if i were you I'll just leave it as it came. I also was looking for a snocone machine like this, and i love it!!!Please don't hesitate on asking any other questions. And I'll answer the best i can.

I don't know about specific distances, but the pictures on the product page are consistent with what I've seen. I've spent far more time worrying about throwing snow into the street and onto my neighbors yard than I have double-cleaning.

I believe you can. As soon as the snow melts I am using it to set the iron sites of my Mosin Nagant at 100 yards. s.gallentine @sbcglobal.net and I will let you know how it goes

Hello. Well, there is a wheel adjuster at the top of the unit which raises or lowers the nozzle angle, so the distance is controlled by the angle of the spray rather than the power (I think). The maximum range is about thirty feet, but in answer to your question: yes, you can set the range of distance, but its not something I require from my unit. This machine works extremely well at discouraging phantom cat crappers. I've had none (not A single one) since I installed mine. Regards.

I can see snowballs roll down the side of the mountains which are approximately 2 miles away with my Leupold. Hits on a target at 200 yards should be super clear/visible. You will need a tripod to keep the spotting scope from swaying.

No, there is not any elevation adjustment. Only windage adjustment on the front site. If you buy the front site, you can adjust for elevation.

Yes. The chute can be tilted down to decrease distance thrown. But I'd get a real one for a little more money. Mine lasted two snowstorms. Had to buy and install a new belt.

Sorry I can't ans. yet as it's winter now and I've not used it. Don't see why it wouldn't work tho.

It depends on the snow but on average mine throws around 15 feet. It does a really good job for me. I live in the Midwest.

Snow is blown forward and direction is not adjustable. Therefore, need to adjust for local winds on where to start snow clearance.

yes you can do it but mine broke after some time; also it is not powerful enough when it is "really" cold.

Ok, I went out to throw snow and I specifically watched the distance. I have to admit that it went up to 30 feet, cleared the driveway and over my mound in the yard and over to the far lane of the street. As long as it was nice dry fluffy snow it actually did throw it up to 30'. Obviously this is in optimal conditions but it did do it.

I am not sure. Never tried. I think the description says that you can adjust.

Every steel snow blower I've seen has always had runners on the edges that keep the blade a fraction of an inch above the surface. If there was no gap, you'd wear out the blade very quickly and most likely, unevenly. It would also pick up ever little piece of debris in its path and eventually damage the snow blower. The runners also allow it to be adjusted even higher for people with stone driveways. I believe the instructions say to lay a piece of cardboard down and adjust the runners so the blade skims across the cardboard. This means the machine will leave a thin coat of snow the thickness of a piece of cardboard box. I've found the thin layer of snow evaporates by the end of the day in most cases. If the snow is very wet or temps rise above freezing there may be enough water left over to refreeze into ice. You have to remember, a snow blower is just one tool in your arsenal against the ravages of winter. Consider it as you would a whitewash brush. It covers a large area with little effort but lacks the detail ability of a smaller detail brush... your shovel.

Never had it up in the snow but you could mount it on a taller post. I did not get the range they claimed - about 400 - 500 ft is what I got. That was with a clear line of sight and the receiver mounted in a secod floor window facing the unit. I ended up going with a Dakota system. The mag sensor is mounted in or next to the drive way. Transmits 1400 feet - the length of our driveway.
