Sheyenne Tooling & Manufacturing - Compact Tractor Snowblower
========================================================================
Don't waste your money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The MOTOMOWER SNOW SHARK was the very first snow blower that had the VERY FIRST four paddle center mounted chain drive impeller which was much simpler than what is shown by these folks.
The other thing is a high flow volume system is needed with the hydraulic system that has more than 35+ gallons in capacity.
If you want simple simplicity and a snow thrower that will not have snow building up in front of it as you travel forward by the open auger design look at the Meteor front mount single stage snow thrower which is the Riest Industries design for single stage snow casters.
The Riest/Meteor design uses a soild one piece snow blower rotor with solid auger tube and narrow auger flighting and a 4 paddle center impeller that will operate at 600 RPM plus.
The chain drive is simple and set up just like the cross shaft drive system of a rototiller or flail mower wherein the PTO shaft is connected to the right angle gear box which transfers power to the cross shaft and then the cross shaft uses single row #60 chain sprocket to transmit power to the #60 single row sprocket that powers the snow blower rotor and the roller chain drive eliminates the need to use sheer pins.
You can purchase a mechanical drive front mount snow blower for your mule if it has a mid PTO. A rear drive propeller shaft system will cost more but it can be done and use the 540 RPM drive system.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
