Hi Guys,
I have a TPH snow blower 73" wide at the business end. My tractor rear wheels are 76" outside to outside. The end result is that the rear wheels rub against the newly cut snow bank and cause some spillage back onto the driveway.
I have read somewhere on this website, of another owner who has widened his snowblower by adding "wings" on each side of the front of the blower, to make the effective clearing distance wider.
In my case I would like to widen each side by 4" to 6", so that I could blow snow and have a clearance for the rear wheels - a couple of inch clearance on the rear wheels would be great.
Does anyone have a design or arrangement that they would be willing to share?
I have a design in mind but thought I would toss this out for discussion - I am always willing to learn something new.
I have searched this website and have not come up with anything - possibly because of using the wrong search criteria wording.
Anyone out there with some good idea's please feel free to comment.
I should mention that I don't intend to widen the complete blower by installing extensions - but rather was thinking of bolting "wing tips" to the outside (made from heavy gauge sheet metal) only. I don't have the equipment or skills to widen the screw, shaft and casing.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
