Truck mounted snow blower clearing the end of the driveway

Notice early on in the video that the impeller speed is so high that it looks to be stationary in the front view. Plume volume and size shown from front side and rear

It is easier to plow until the snow reaches 2-4 ft in depth. That's why this was put together.

That engine is a 106HP 3.9 Cummins 4cyl. pushing a 40 GPM muncie pump. Works pretty good without being turned up at all. Snow is wet and heavy with a top crust and dropping of fluff on it. Camera is a standard flip video so that's why it shows the impeller that way. Newest unit is running a 160 BHP 5.9 cummins that's being tweaked out a little. Running a dual 40 GPM Muncie custom. Videos should be up soon.

Guess you'll have to wait for the next round of videos. We have been running in 18"-24" of snow. Still get 5-8 MPH out of it and the snow is gone 200-400 ft away so you don't deal with it again. J

Anything above a 10in fan needs 1HP per additional inch.

7'6" blower = 37.5 HP

1.5 X 5' = 7.5HP

14" fan = 10.0HP base

4HP per in  4.0HP

Total 59 HP requirement

Looking at PTO drive blowers this holds fairly close. You can get away with less but the recommended falls to this formula. Dual augers doubles the first half of the equation.

Would love to see what you're working on.

Hell bound, Blizzard plow mount and wiring on the unit with the Manifold on the plow. Gives lift/lower, chute rotation, deflector movement and also gives back drag when we finish putting that on. As far as the motor size we've played with ALOT of blowers over the years. I've done hansons, OLD western blowers and several others with engines on the unit. ALL were underpowered.

Simple equation to necessary HP. 5HP per ft of blower and 5 HP extra per 5 ft of blower. 5HP per 10in of Fan

Xcentric, you showed your colors with then end of your post. X blade and a Cheve. Tell you what. Bring your tin can waiting to crush and your Car up and play. We'll see how long you last. As far as residential. When the snow is 3-4ft deep most people don't care how loud the engine is when it comes to snow they want it gone. This was not designed for residential playing it was designed to replace loaders on farm and cell tower lanes. For that purpose it works great.

Thats awesome! So youre running the 3.9 on the back of the truck and running a shaft to the front? I tried to understand from the posts but I couldnt.

Back to the drawing board.

Where he lives they get feet and feet of snow and at a certain point the snow needs to go somewhere away from the street.Plowing becomes impossible.

sounds a bit like a lawn mower

[murraycg69]

i don't get it. using 2 monster engines to move snow....nice way to burn a hole in your pocket with the fuel bill and engine maintenance bill.

[cautionfiamable]

just plow it!

[larboc]

Looks like it would be a lot easier and faster to just plow it.

At least it not chugging along at under 1 mph like some of the units ive seen
