Snowblower Which snow blower

They are all mid mount 2 stage snow blowers.


You could purchase the P680 snow blower and mount the entire snow blower
on your loader with a SSQA plate using a ROTAX 23 horsepower go cart engine
to power it and have enough torque to clear snow.

Leonz , i've been watching alot of vids on diverter valves, 3rd remote for FEL but l know the flow is not there for this. So lm looking at just what you mentioned. I have the quick attach and know l can fab up sometime self contained...

The Rotax 2 cycle 23 horse engine is lighter and you will have plenty of torque to do the job using the Pronovost P680.

You will need to fabricate a mounting plate for the snow blower that will let you mount the Rotax engine or a surplus air cooled snowmobile engine off an old sled with its
pulleys and belt drive to the 6 spline stub shaft of the gear box. You will need a fuel tank for mixed gas and the muffler off the sled to run the engine and a hand throttle with a long enough sheathed cable to mount on the loader.

Im very interested in a self contained setup. I know Bigg Pigg had one in 2 sizes. I think 50 and 64 inch. If l wanted there's a 72 and 84 inch l could mount on my F250 and stay warm. lol

I think that 64" was listed on sale at $6500. Have to call to find out for sure...

Honestly thinking of building one from older parts with a new motor as what l see looks like chinese beer can aluminum...

Don't waste your money; you need the speed and torque a 23 horsepower
rotax engine will provide you with the new pronovost snowblower to spin
the impeller at 700+ rpm. The simplicity of a go cart or snow mobile belt
drive system is what you want and need.

Just got a rude awakening. Stumbled upon snowvac.com.

I would think a snowmobile engine is going to have an overheating problem when used on slow moving equipment like a snowblower due to not enough air flow to cool it down.

The snow vac 2 stage design is a poorly designed snow blower that could be made much better in my opinion with few simple design changes
using the 33 horsepower ROTAX 2 cycle air cooled engines or the largest Wisconsin V twin engines.

Nope, they work well in the cold and always have with the fan on the blower housing.
The forced air cooling system for snowmobiles has been a proven method of engine cooling
for many years just like the 4 cycle gas engine on a lawn mower or weed wacker.
