I'm envious of your snow. My kids are dying for enough snow that I can saddle up my big dapple gray and pull them around on an inner tube.

Beautiful Fjord and a beautiful sleigh.

My top (safe) speed on the road with the blower mounted is approximately "faster than walking". (Would take me a couple of MONTHS to drive to NY.)
This is a 1962 Mercedes Benz Unimog 404. The blower was built by another German company, Beilhack. The blower is driven by a PTO from a diesel that sits on the 404's bed. That engine also drives a hydraulic pump for chute angle & blower height. The 404 weighs 6,500 without the blower equipment, 11,500 lbs as configured here. So I may have you on weight, but somehow I suspect you'd still pull me all over the place.

Unimogs do have some tractor-like features like locking diff (front and rear), some have 3-pt hitches (not mine). I have chains for all 4, which is pretty much necessary in order to cut dense snow drifts. Basically, moving snow is both a necessity and a hobby for me, I just love it.

Are you a member of that Colorado Unimog club?

Hello , this is a quick attach plate I made from a truck bumper and a u haul hitch receiver might be alittle over kill lol , but hey its what I had on hand plus I can use a trailer hitch as well. Also making a wooden template using the bucket attachment gave me the spacing and angles. The good old chop saw , I forgot how long it takes to grind thru thick metal , you could eat your lunch while waiting lol btw my first post:D 11.18.2012 116.jpg11.18.2012 117.jpg11.18.2012 132.jpg11.18.2012 135.jpg11.18.2012 137.jpg

You know I was talking about the horse right? ;) I know all to well about those -30 + windchill, we do get them here and you are right about those Detroit diesel, noisy like h**l, leaks all over the place, but they were not afraid of the cold. Use to have them in are motorcoach, all 8v71 series.
