Snowblowing Pictures (four)

[rbargeron]

Here's a picture that shows the blower a little better - it has a simple hand crank for turning the chute - easy reach from the seat. The basic design is common to quite a few 2-stage blowers being sold today - chain driven auger with direct impeller drive at pto speed. It throws snow about 20-50ft depending on engine speed - the tractor has a 2-speed pto and the blower runs on the higher speed.

Hey Dick you ever think of putting on a electric motor on your unit for the shoot. I put a $5.00 electric motor on mine and it works great. Also put a light on the blower also. Check out one of my past treads, it has pics. also. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=owning&Number=354965&Forum=owning&Words=snow%20blind&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=354965&Search=true#Post354965

That's a nice neat job - looks factory. Can you give me more details about the window lift motor you used? And how it's wired? Any overload breaker?

I like your light directly on the blower. I have a light up in the corner of my rops that does an ok job - usually there's a white-out while blowing - so visibility is somewhat reduced anyway.

Hey the fan on your Woods doesn't look small to me. How deep is it? Looks like it should move a lot of snow. What pto speed are you running? To get more output at lower engine rpm I added a 2-speed pto to my rig. It was fairly easy to do because my tractor model was offered in other countries with a 2-speed pto. I never did find out which other models have this option in other countries.
