Fun project. Introducing the Suzuki Super Cyclonic Snow Shooter and snow cone maker. Made from a 1997 Suzuki Sidekick; a 1986 45” MTD snowblower attachment from a garden tractor; a similar 29” Motomaster snowblower; and a new 16HP Briggs and Stratton snowblower engine. An old winch from a junk auction plus some recycled parts and scrap metal made this an inexpensive project that was completed i...
Need to remember sheer pins if we go this route... rocky mountain road where we are. Thank you for posting your videos!! Fantastic!
I could go for something like this mounted on the 1973 406 that we have... light weight and use the high flow hydraulics.
Please explain how what you did to mount it to your suv. I have a ford explorer i would like to mount a snowblower to it.
Very cool ,I am into build your own !!! Great job !!!!!!
Heck of a cobble job , but looks like it works pretty good 👍
I don’t believe a sixteen hp does it 👍🥳
Love your way of thinking my friend. I just put a plow on my car lol. Video is on my channel.
Nice, does a great job!
Thanks Rob. Might have to use it tomorrow if the forecast is right.
@@WillysTruckFarm I'm hoping it's not but I'm sure it will be LOL!
Awesome blower project. Can't waite to see the build video. My van blower project will be finished this summer and I won't have to work so hard to clean the acreage road. It's always a great feeling to build something and have it work. Job well done.
Thanks. The past two winters have been a wake up call to the potential a snowblower has to make a proper clean up with ease and low cost. No wind rows or high snow piles from the plow. My plow was not used much at all this winter.
🎉10,000 views! Awesome.
🎉woohooo! Awesome!
10,000 views in one year. Thank you all. More videos to come.
Truly a work of art my friend!!
can you give a cost/ man hour estimate? i thought about buying 3 old snowblowers and just bolting them together, then adding them to a frame with a winch.
Nice build!
Haha. I was just thinking about doing something similar but I was going to install a PTO off the engine. The stand alone engine on there seems much simpler.
I think that would be the best bet too.
Need to show us how to install it. I would put one on my jeep tj
Stay tuned. It will happen.
Looks pretty cool! Worth a subscribe to your channel!
That is an awesome looking rig you have designed. Looks like it can throw lots of snow. I'm in the process of putting a 74" Frontier blower onto my 1997 Chevy Astro van. PTO shafts under the van will be running a triple belt drive through the floor in the back with a shaft drive in the van hooked to an inline Chevy 6 cyl. approx HP on the inline 6 is 150 but won't need most of that, but will do the job nicely I think with a governor hooked up. To lift the blower is a 12v hydraulic pump in the van and ram on the blower lift with a chain which will then give me a "float mode" for my road that has quite a few highs and lows. Oh...did I mention the command start.. getting old I guess lol. Awesome build and great video.
That is a great combination. I have an 89” International Harvester 3 point blower for a similar future project. Debating weather the Cherokee or a Silverado would be a good candidate. The Cherokee is older but has a short wheel base a tighter turn radius.
@@WillysTruckFarm Well we got it all together last weekend and we tried it out for 2 hours and we are throwing snow approximately 40 to 50 feet @ 2100 rpm on that 250 in the back. My house trailer is a 54 foot model and snow is landing right at the back of it. The blower speed is around 580 PTO speed. It's a little bit noisy right now as there is no wall up yet so hearing protection is a must. It's nice and warm in there that's for sure and I'm running with all the windows in the back open and everything is running very well. I adjusted the skid shoes so I'm not throwing dirt anymore which will help to keep the cutting edge from digging in. I'll keep you posted as the season progresses. The snow was light and only 6 to 10 inches deep.
@@VikingShipExplorer you should post a video on your channel. I had read that the ideal speed is 15 feet per second at the tips of the impeller. Set the rpm too high and the snow can actually accumulate on the auger because it will break down the uniformity of density and compact. If the rpm is too low then the throw distance is not enough. 15 feet per second is an average for two stage.
@@WillysTruckFarm As of right now I am still trying to get a feel for how everything is working...lol. Trying to find the sweet spot for rear engine RPM is proving to be a bit of a problem. Next summer I am going to change the throttle to something I can adjust so that it won't exceed 2300 RPM which seems to be the best setting for deeper snow. Now again we will see how it does in the warmer months February and March when the snow is wet. I am defiantly looking into the idea of putting a governor on it so that it will control itself when in deeper snow. Right now I have to power up and down by hand depending on snow depth and ground speed. We really haven't had enough snow yet to give it a good work out yet and get everything dialed in, but it's coming I'm sure...lol. It's a lot of fun and faster than my combine with a 12 foot blade on it. I should also mention the blower is a 540 PTO for I believe a 35 to 45 horse tractor. My gearing and pulley ratios may not be prefect yet as I loose torque if I don't throttle up when it gets into deeper snow. A governor might fix that problem???
@@VikingShipExplorer An easy fix is to get an aftermarket cruise control from an older car or online maybe. It will hold the rpm perfect.
😎 awesome!
Snowed again. Dexter is such a good pup!
I love the camera work❤️
I agree. She is awesome with a camera. Hearts to you too.
Dexter is a very good puppy!
This is amazing!
Thank you sweetheart. Kisses.
