John Deere TRS27 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The John Deere TRS27 snow blower, a popular choice for homeowners tackling moderate snowfall, was manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This gas-powered, two-stage machine features a 27-inch clearing width, making it efficient for clearing driveways and sidewalks. Its robust design and reliable performance contributed to its widespread adoption for residential snow removal.
The John Deere TRS27 snow blower was a staple in John Deere's residential snow removal lineup for several years, providing a balance of power and maneuverability. It's equipped with a Tecumseh engine, typically in the 8-10 HP range, providing ample power to chew through heavy, wet snow. Many TRS27 models came with an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the TRS27 utilizes an auger system to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. It boasts a 27-inch clearing width and an intake height of around 20 inches, allowing it to handle significant snow accumulations. The throwing distance is typically up to 30-35 feet. The drive system is wheel-driven, usually offering 5-6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds for optimal control. The chute is typically manually controlled, allowing users to direct the snow discharge. While it lacks advanced features like heated grips, the TRS27's reliability and power make it well-suited for homeowners dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall on paved surfaces like driveways and walkways.
