The kit includes two drift-cutter blades plus all mounting hardware and knobs so you can install the attachment quickly on supported Deluxe, Platinum and Professional models. When not in use the blades fold down against the housing for compact storage, eliminating the need to remove them between jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the drift cutter improve snow removal performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutters extend above the auger housing to sever and channel deep drifts directly into the intake, reducing the need to ram into piles or make multiple passes.
