Homebrew atv snowblower advice wanted

An older pick up and plow would probably be your cheapest option. If you want a blower for your ATV, I would suggest trying to find a used Bercomac . Probably better and cheaper than trying to invent and build one from various parts.

That sounds interesting, you could somehow have them attach to your plow when needed.

I could get a 2nd mounting bracket same as my plow... they'd be pretty easy to swap. The two walk behinds would probably be simplest... at least they're sized and geared already. Just not as sturdy as a full sized.

Just visit youtube there are plenty of folks that have repurposed various blowers for ATV use with varying success. I plan on doing something similar in the future for the new quad that will be replacing an aged CUT and GT for snow removal, having a CUT or a plow truck doesnt mean all your snow problems will be solved, they might be eased somewhat but likely not solved and you have another piece of equipment to take care of and store, not a big deal if you actually have more uses for it and the spare cash around to buy. If you only have a blade on a light machine the key to a successful removal season is plowing often during a storm and push things back so far from the start its not possible to run out of room.
