I have a JD 4300 with a Lorenz model 530 snow blower, 66" , 520#
Price: $2,084, $50crating, $130 freight from Benson Mn. to Medford, OR.This unit has paddles vs the auger. Less likely to distort, bend, and the wet snow is no problem. I installed a longer arm to turn the chute, using a 1/2 inch socket swivel. The shoes that controls the distance between unit and ground are the key to controlling picking up rocks. I replaced the round dudes that come with the unit. After various choices I found that large surfaces work best. 12" x 24", the ends at 2" are bent at 42 degrees. I set up the shoe very close to the unit, very little ground clearance. The shoe is forward of the unit by only the amount of the bend.
I finally can plow , leaving very little snow, and not spraying the 3/4" minus rock with the snow.

My dealer, after changing a wheel three times on the same machine ( not mine) figured out the problem. The flange was not a true 90 degrees to the shaft. The slow revolutions of a tractor wheel make it hard to detect, but the wheel was wobbling. Proper replacement and no more problem. I am off to check my own machine. I introduced the dealer to this message board.
