I used to have the same problem with my aircraft hangar doors, a strip of heavy rubber nailed to the backside of the door bottom, then passing under the door and outside solved the problem.

Best of luck.

Joel, I don't know if you already know about this trick or not, but we used to do a lot of snow removal on open station machines and quickly realized there's no better way to keep your head (all of it) warm and dry than by wearing a snowmobile helmet.

If you want to get really fancy you can even get the nicer ones with a tube to vent your breath out of the helmet, and an electric defogger in the visor.

It sure makes a difference in windy situations, or when the snow comes back at you from the discharge chute of the blower.

BTW, those 12 volt heated mitts and boot warmers are great for keeping the chill off too.

Best of luck.

Joel, sounds like you need a taller discharge chute, if one is not readily available from the manufacturer or your dealer, they can be easily made.

We have several of our machines equipped with 6' (or more) discharge chutes, it makes a big difference for certain jobs. An adjustable top end is good too, it allows you to adjust the angle of the snow as it exits the chute on the fly.

We use them for things like loading dump trucks with snow, or clearing snow over banks, but then almost straight down again to avoid collateral damage from flying ice chunks and such.

Best of luck.
