Ok, it isn't that I am cheap, it is more that I have a lot of free time and enjoy projects. I have 2 older 24" snowblowers that run fine, but aren't really worth anything. Has anyone tried bolting or welding 2 snow blowers together and mounting them to their fel bucket? It seems like a very workable idea. It seems like it would be fairly easy to make a quick detach that would slide onto the bucket and bolt down.
Snowblower Mount 2 snowblowers to bucket?

I thought about doing this but figured a plow would be better. My biggest concern was the speed of the tractor moving compared to what the blowers could handle????

Hey winddance, that's my idea! (Just kidding)
I've been dreaming about that since before I bought a tractor - 'cus I'm cheap and sometimes handy, too!
I've thought that the easiest way to move the chutes would be to install an electric actuator with wires and switches - no bulky hoses etc.
Fix the throttles wide open with an emergency kill switch just in case.
The feature that I'd like to have is the ability to lift the blower up high to knock off the tops of high snow banks.
That way when you reach the end of the driveway at the street you can see over the snow banks to know if traffic is coming down the road.

sorta of a redneck setup ?
Pull wheels off, put blower in bucket, strap it down good with rachet straps. attach cable to the auger drive for fast release shutoff. Start er up and let er rip!

@Radioman - You forgot the "put on the hat with 2 beer cans" step...
Please video all outings - this has YouTube sensation written all over the understory!
