Years back when we USE to get hammered with snow i kicked the idea around of a ft. mount blower on a pick up like a double auger 8 footer . Like others have said WEIGHT , now off hand i forget what the 8 foot snowlander i was looking at weighed , but it was going to take some mod.'s to the ft end of a heavy 3/4 ton with a Dana 60 ft axle and that is rated for 4500 Lbs . Power wise i kicked around several options , One was a skid mounted V 8 thru a drop box and a drive shaft with carried bearings , thern i thought about the skid mounted power plant and hyd. pump and a hyd motor on the blower and was leaning that way heavily as i found a BIG pump that had lots of flow and a huge Hyd Motor that ran at 650 RPM and in terms of Hp was at 150 . I was swinging that way till GLOBAL hit and the big snow machine stopped making big snows and everything i was doing the plow handled nicely . There use to be a compqany that made ft. mount blower Pkgs that ran off the rear PTO with a gear box and drive shaft that ran under the tractor , but it has been many years since i stayed up on what was out there . Now with what snow we get now 99.9 % of the time my little OLD 724 walk behind does all i need WHEN IT RUNS.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
