Snowblower FEL Snowblower

[Russie]

Hi all, new to the forum so thought I'd share what I did.

I reworked two "walk behind" Craftsman snowblowers into one to quick attack to my new Kubota BX2370 front end loader.
The two blowers worked out to a total of 60" wide and have their 10 HP engines running them. I removed the drive wheels and the drive mechanism and built a three wheel center caster to support the rear section with castors and skies on the front. The engines now have 12 volt starters, chute rotation, deflectors and auger engagement all have 12 volt actuators controlled from the cab. The Kubota loader handles the weight great although the blowers will ride on the ground with the tractor just pushing and steering them.

Looks like a home run Russ... would like to see it in action.

Thanks guys, I'll post a video of it working ( if it works ) when we get snow, although I can wait a little while ! LOL

Good engineering but not real efficient running three motors.Sure beats a shovel

I've been planning on experimenting with the same thing, just haven't had the time. I hope it works well.

First thought - what a redneck, Rube Goldberg project.

Second thought - I could probably do that... hmm? :thumbsup:

The way it works is;
pull the capture pins of the quick attach for the bucket, drop it, go pick up the snowblower insert the capture pins, plug in control box cable, start the motors and blow snow! No belts, drive shaft or bolts to install.
