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.
