Buhler Farm King has been building reliable snowblowers for
more than three decades. rough the years the design has been
rened to create an excellent snowblower that is easy to use and
maintain.

All models are PTO driven and most models have an adjustable
hitch that will easily attach to the 3-point hitch. All snowblow­ers are quick hitch compatible. Adjustable and replaceable skid
shoes, standard on all models, make it easy to set the appropriate
cutting height. e 108" models have a replaceable cutting edge.

To move snow faster and greater distances, Buhler snowblowers
are equipped with three blade or four blade fans. Dual augers
to intake snow are standard on 96" and 108" models and 108"
models have replaceable fan housing. Depending on model, the

rotation of the spout is controlled hydraulically, or manually
using a hand crank. e spout deector establishes the trajec­tory of the snow and can be equipped with a 6-position manual
adjustment or a hydraulic cylinder kit. No tools are required for
the manual adjustment. 7' or 10' extended spouts for truck load­ing are available on the 108".

Designed for easy maintenance, snowblower models up to 74"
have an open gearbox system that is easy to access. Models above
84" feature a closed gearbox housed in a sealed oil bath that is
resistant to moisture and dirt. Both gearbox systems are available
on 84" models.

e PTO and sprocket to the main auger include shear bolts to
minimize damage in the event of debris or overload.

[1] The spout deector can be equipped with a hydraulic cylinder kit or
a 6-position manual adjustment.
[2] 50" to 96" models have a 3-blade fan and an optional 4-blade fan is
available. The 4-blade fan is standard on 108" models.

[3] Adjustable and replaceable skid shoes are standard equipment.
[4] Most models feature an adjustable hitch that is designed to adapt
to 3-point hitches of varying lengths and heights, which reduces stress
on the PTO shaft.

Established in 1933 as an agricultural equipment manufacturer, Standard Gas Engine Works was purchased by John Buhler in 1969. Through steady
expansion, new products and acquisitions, the company has experienced steady growth and has evolved into one brand name: Buhler. Over the years,
many brands have joined the Buhler family: Farm King, Allied, Inland and Versatile. Buhler maintains several well-stocked parts warehouses and is
committed to continuous product improvement and incorporating new value-added features. That tradition of excellence will continue well into the future.
