    Iv been looking forward to this since I found your channel. Very cool! Nice work man. Iv been plowing commercial parking lots since I was pretty young and this is by far the most ingenuity iv seen in a setup like this. I bet you get a lot of looks and thumbs up driving that rig around town

    It's really nice for deep snow, but you can move quicker with a plow

    • @stevenbeach748
      @stevenbeach748 10 місяців тому

      Physically quicker probably but plowing may not be faster for the entire job. You have to go back over a lot of places with a plow because of snow that’s spilled off the clean edge. This this is one pass and done but it is slower.
      So maybe it’s a wash. Neat machine though.

    I'd say you hit a home run on this unit. Seems to work very well. I'm in the process of collecting parts to build one and was wondering if you are completely happy going hydraulic or if you made another would go pto drive off the back motor. just curious as I don't have the hydraulic set up but I do have a complete PTO driven blower to put on the front.... Your thoughts?

    • @uwpd
      @uwpd  3 роки тому +3

      Initially I had thought about using a PTO drive. I wanted the blower to be a quick disconnect unit so trying to do that with a pto drive would have been a challenge in my opinion. Another consideration for me was cost. When I weighed the options it seemed that a pto drive would be more expensive.
      I’m satisfied with the hydraulic drive thus far. One concern I do have is if I were to blow a hose it would be a mighty big mess to clean up.

    • @VikingShipExplorer

      @@uwpd ok... thanks for the reply. Yes price is definitely a factor and I to was pricing both ways of doing this, when I was given a blower, complete frame and drive trane that will need to be shortened. The frame bolts up to the bottom of a small tractor. This is a chain and gear drive for a rear pto. I think I can make this work with the Chev inline 6 that was also donated in the truck box. But I'm thinking your hydraulic set up would be a lot easier.....hmmm... now ya got me thinking...lol.

      @@VikingShipExplorer if you already have all the components for a pto drive that might be the way to go. One down side is you’ll have to give up some ground clearance.

    😂 brilliant. I don't know why it took this long for the thought of a truck mounted snowblower to occur to me; I've seen it on tractors and skids ages ago.
    Oh wait.....I see in the update video you need a whole separate engine in the bed to power that thing 🤯 Still nice work, though.

      @JS-qd9rz Рік тому +1

      Northern Hydraulics sold a front mount snowblower about 20 years ago but you could only choose Western or Meyers hookups. As I recall it was powered by a 22 or 24hp engine and it was over $4k. Still wish they sold them.

    Looks really good but it seems like it should be running a little faster can you adjust that with a faster pump on the blower unit or pully?
