Our county highway dept spent gobs of money for some big Oshkosh trucks with snowblowers. A big Cat engine and a large fuel tank sit on the frame rails on the back to power the blower. I have never seen one with a blower mounted. 99.999% of the time they have a big plow mounted on the front with the Cat engine and fuel tank just sitting there for dead weight. With a good head of steam they look like a blower coming down the road. The design of the plow propels that snow way up perhaps 40' in the air and way back off the road. No moving parts. Money better spent on a dump truck, though. It can carry a load of sand with a spreader and do other work all year round. Same with a blade/loader combo. My 2c. (;>))
