How about some discussion on the various spray products that are available for use on snow removal equipment.
If you have actual experience with the product, great.
Otherwise, just give us your thoughts on some of the products you have heard or read about.
Some thought on products I have used.
WD40: Cheap and easy, but not great at lubrication or freeing up seized threaded parts. I use it very little.
PAM: Never used it on a snowblower, but I have read that it works pretty good. Seems a little pricey for use on the snow equipment.
Sno-Go: Never used it, but it also has quite a few supporters. Not cheap, either.
Fluid Film: I have only used this as a lubricant so far and it seems to do a good job. Rust and corrosion prevention are supposed to be quite good with it. It has almost a cult following. Bought mine at a John Deere dealer for about $9.
CRC Silicone Spray: I use this a lot and have used it on snow shovels in the past with some success in keeping the snow from sticking. I'm not sure it has a long life as a lubricant.
I have never felt I needed anything in the chute of my snowblower, but I do think I will try it this season. At $3 a can, it is about as inexpensive as I have seen.
This snow season, I plan to use both the Fluid Film and the CRC Silicone and see if I can tell any difference in snow throwing.
Based on what I have read, I definitely think the Fluid Film is the better product for lubrication and corrosion prevention.
