Tractor Loader Fitted With Two Snow Blowers

Tractor Loader Fitted With Two Snow Blowers FARM HOME Miscellaneous When Tony Negen found two walk-behind snow blowers on clearance for only $460 for the two of them he decided to mount both blowers on front of his Kubota loader tractor The key to the simple fabrication was building a steel framework with tubing at the bottom that slipped over the loader forks The frame was designed to nest the wheels of the two snow blowers so they had a solid base One negative was that they were not identical so one side was different from the other Negen threw a ratchet strap over the two machines to hold them in place Whenever he needed a walk behind it was easy to dismount one “The only challenge was to make the frame so the cutting edges of the scoops angled down in front of the forks ” recalls Negen “The only modification of the blowers was to bolt the sides of the scoops together ” Another problem was the lack of snow spout redirection from the tractor seat Even that wasn’t a deal breaker “The snow spouts aren’t a real problem ” says Negen “I always try to blow with the wind so I set them when I start the engines ” He used the dual blowers for two years before upgrading to a larger rear mount blower “They worked a whole lot better than I thought they would ” says Negen Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Anthony Negen 88504 200th St Sacred Heart Minn 56285 ph 320-444-0723; 1944deerelover@gmail com
