Check your shear bolts.
While it may be tempting to run your blower at 1,000 RPM, it's not advisable. Quick way to burn up the bearings.
Is the blower properly lubricated? That could also have an effect; albeit less severe than shear bolts.
Lastly is the snow conditions. Wet/sticky snow will not blow nearly as far as dry powder. And while your blower is in operation, if the temps are only moderately cold and the snow is powder on the ground, if going through heavier amounts, friction will warm the snow to a wetter/sticker consistency.
I had an older JD blower on a JD 4010 gas and it would blow fairly well. Even in -30 temps, snow would warm a bit and stick to the augers, sides, even the chute. Was minor at those temps, but still noticeable.
