Snowblower at both ends?

[leonz]

The two snow blower rigs are common up here
in small rural municipalites doing long sidewalk
runs where they do a long sidewalk in two passes
with either snow caster doing the first pass to the
end and the opposite snow caster is then used in
the opposite direction.


All municipal side walks have to be ADA compliant
by design and are required to be wide for wheel chair
access and of course down to the concrete.

I believe the new sidewalks have to be a minimum of
6 feet wide???? so they have a lot of ground to cover
and mounting a snow caster on the front and rear solves
this issue quickly by simply moving to the left or right to
make the next pass in forward or reverse.

The snow casters have a longer service life as they only
work half as hard.

If you get the arrangement right can you suck and blow at the same time?

Don't forget to account for HP lost to the drivetrain of both blowers.

I think it would be cheaper to run hot water pipes under the driveway and heat it all winter! :laughing:

I think with a pull type rear blower, you can blow snow in both forward and reverse. Erskine, I believe is the brand.

Not quite sure why one would utilize a blower in that manner.
