I don't think you will have good luck trying to clear snow using exhaust. What are you to do with the water you make from melting snow. Your are going to ice problems.

Before it turns into ice we can collect the water (melted snow) into tankers by pumping and we can recycle this "dirty" water with hazardous chemical outlets like CO, NO, etc in recycling plants. This way, we can get rid of these environmental materials by injecting them into the snow. Single stone double bird. Eh, I should direct the world

By the way, did you know that the worst gas emissions (percentage of CO, NO, etc) are coming out of farm tractors, especially when plowing.? Snow plowing too is badd.

am planning to make (DIY) a snowmelter. Isn't the egt (exhaust gas temp) of emission at exhaust manifold about 500 C (1000 F) ? We are wasting this energy. I will attach a boom to the exhaust manifold

Oh dear Nomad; you must visit some cold areas with the snow piled up three feet deep like my driveway during the winter months.

Oh I second that...

Nomad, my back yard in the winter. There are two cars parked there.

Maybe he has a really really really hot tractor.
I'd rather have 1 foot snow than ice anyday.

And if it were such a good idea to melt the snow, why did the melters that the railroads made out of jet engines fail so badly? Jet exhaust is hotter than what you get out the tailpaipe, and more volume too.

Ok, folks, your claim is that there is not enough heat energy at exhaust gas emission to melt the snow, is it?

Your claim is based on "economical feasibility / efficiency" taught in our science logic today. But, today science is in contradictions. Just let me tell this. If the exhaust emission coming out of exhaust manifolds was not enough, how comes it drills the Ozone layer in atmosphere which is a hugh layer? Think collective science. Ok, Egon, exhaust gas of your tractor may not melt all snow around your house, but, then, you don't plow all snow around your house, either. What you do is just to plow a path for your walking and driving path. That's all. Exhaust gas will be enough to melt a path to your house and thats enough.

I will give another example on illogic in science logic today. They educate people solar energy is not efficient nor economical feasable. True that efficiency of solar systems today is really low. But, economically not feasable? It is for free. Give me New York. I will install solar collectors on a hill there and I will heat the whole NY, will supply electric energy to whole NY and all vehicles there will use electricity. So, whole energy of NY will be for free. What? Installation cost? Hey, collectors are made of aluminum, plastic, sand, etc. All these materials are under your feet and if you consider all these materials belong to you folks, they all will be for free. All to be done is to have 10,000 people who will work for 3 months for free to install solar collectors on the hill near NY city. But, if you gave all these materials to a few people and if their scientists are illogical, then, you will learn solar energy is inefficient, noneconomic, etc. All bs..

Your blower should be at least as wide as your tractor. I would go wth the widest blower especially if you have a lot of driveway, although I would never consider a rear blower, since we get a lot of snow.

It doesn't really matter how much horse power your tractor has in relation to the size of the blower unless we are talking gigantic blower. You can convert your your large blower into a smaller blower in deep snow by going slower and taking a smaller cut.

I am planning to make (DIY) a snowmelter. Isn't the egt (exhaust gas temp) of emission at exhaust manifold about 500 C (1000 F) ? We are wasting this energy. I will attach a boom to the exhaust manifold of tractor and that will spray hot exhaust gas emission like a curtain and melt the snow. Environment friendly, cheap and enough for snow on my own house area. No more 3-pt attachment, This is exhaust attachment.

Here's another idea. Mount a seed spreader on the back of the tractor, the rotary type with a horizontal spinning plate. Put granulated thermite in the spreader, and mount cigarette lighters just outside the discharge of the spreader to ignite the thermite granules. Then drive along, spreading burning thermite on the snow as you go. Since thermite gets up to 4,000 degrees in seconds, you'll be putting down a lot of BTUs. Only problem might be that the asphalt may catch fire, but the melting snow will put it out.
