Hydraulic-Controlled Snow Blade Installed On Arctic Cat
My friend, Ed Gantz at Gantz Farm Service, New Hampton, N.Y., installed a hydraulic-controlled snow blade on his 700 cc Arctic Cat 4 by 4. If you look closely at the picture, you can see that the front wheels are lifted off the ground by down pressure. For hydraulic power he used a power steering pump, driven by a double pulley on the engine that also drives the alternator. He mounted a hydraulic cylinder on front of the tractor and ran a hose to a control valve. It pushes snow where the big rigs can't go. Works great.
