About this product
📘 Overview
The Haugen skid steer snow blower (SB 74) is a heavy duty two-stage skid steer snow blower with a 74" clearing width, available in three motor sizes matched to your machine's hydraulic flow. Hydraulic chute and hydraulic deflector, 5/16" auger flighting, a bolt-on cutting edge and adjustable skid shoes. Hoses and couplers included.
Choose the motor by your flow, not by preference — the three are the same blower with different displacement.

📊 Skid Steer Snow Blower Motor Options (SB 74)
Model Motor Flow range Clearing width SB 74-6 6.2 cubic 16–20 gpm 74" SB 74-8 8.0 cubic 20–24 gpm 74" SB 74-9 9.9 cubic 24–31 gpm 74"🌊 Match the Motor to Your Flow — This Is the Whole Decision
All three models clear the same 74". What differs is motor displacement, and it has to suit your machine's auxiliary hydraulic flow:
- SB 74-6, 6.2 cubic — 16 to 20 gpm. Standard flow machines.
- SB 74-8, 8.0 cubic — 20 to 24 gpm. The middle band.
- SB 74-9, 9.9 cubic — 24 to 31 gpm. High flow machines.
Get this wrong in either direction and the blower suffers. Too little flow for the motor and the auger turns slowly, so it packs snow instead of throwing it. Too much and you are forcing oil through a motor not sized for it. Check your machine's auxiliary flow specification and pick the band it falls in.
🌨 Why a Two Stage Snow Blower Clears What Others Plug On
A two-stage blower uses an auger to gather snow and feed it to a separate impeller that throws it. Single-stage machines do both jobs with one rotor.
The advantage shows in heavy, wet snow: the auger can pull dense material in without having to also generate throw velocity, and the impeller runs at the speed needed to clear it properly. That is what stops a blower plugging in the snow that most needs moving.
🎛 Hydraulic Chute and Deflector
Both the chute rotation and the deflector angle are hydraulic, so throw direction and distance are set from the cab while you work. On a long run you can put snow exactly where it should go, adjusting as you pass obstacles, without stopping to move anything by hand.
📋 Weight Note
Haugen does not publish weights for the SB 74 range in the current price guides, so none are listed here rather than estimated. support@eskidsteer.com can obtain them.
🚜 Skid Steer Compatibility
Universal skid steer quick attach, with hoses and couplers included. Snow blowers ship with an 8 pin or 14 pin harness; a Bobcat 7 pin harness (WR-006) is available for machines that need it.
Auxiliary hydraulic flow decides which model you order — 16–20, 20–24 or 24–31 gpm. Check your machine's specification against those bands.
❓ Skid Steer Snow Blower FAQs
Which motor size do I need?
Whichever matches your machine's auxiliary flow: 16–20 gpm takes the SB 74-6, 20–24 gpm the SB 74-8, 24–31 gpm the SB 74-9. All three clear the same 74" — flow is the only thing that decides.
What happens if I get the flow wrong?
Too little and the auger turns slowly, packing snow rather than throwing it. Too much and you are pushing oil through a motor not sized for it. Neither is a small problem, so check the specification rather than guessing.
Why two-stage?
The auger gathers and feeds; a separate impeller throws. In heavy wet snow that separation is what keeps the machine clearing instead of plugging, because neither part has to do both jobs at once.
Is the chute controlled from the cab?
Yes — both chute rotation and deflector angle are hydraulic, so you set throw direction and distance while you work rather than stopping to adjust by hand.
Do I need a wiring harness?
The blowers come equipped with an 8 pin or 14 pin harness. If your machine uses a Bobcat 7 pin connector, the WR-006 harness covers it.
What comes with the snow blower attachment?
Hoses and couplers come with the blower, along with the harness. The bolt-on cutting edge and adjustable skid shoes are fitted as standard.
