Title: 32 Hotrod snowblower.
Post by: Jon on October 03, 2011, 10:15:00 am
My friend Metal fabricator Atle Berg is putting the finishing touches to his Snowblower 32.
He still have to finish the hydraulic scoop on the top of the blower part, but he is working on it now.
Some funny facts:
40 hp idustrial engine
m8 8.8 safety pins
500 mm big six blade fan (ogre)
Welded Ford Sierra differential housing
BMW M3 clutch assembly
Hydraulic height adjusting

It looks very bouncy in the video due mostly to the fact that he has to run such a high hydraulic pressure to be able to turn tightly on dry ground.
On Snow it will just crawl forward.

More than anything this is an absolute prof of his capabilities but it also shows what happens if you listen to the boy within... got to love that!
This is the first time in years I find myself waiting for snow!  ;D
