Homemade Single stage snowblower

Spent one weekend and 5 evenings building this simple snowblower. I will be adding a small propeller in front of the impeller to help the snow move along.

Well it made a nice snow plow....

But I like the engineering

@Infantrydude1093 This was the first of 6 videos. Try 5 and 6, I had modified it a couple of times since the snow pushing incident.

@unimogdave I have and it's very impressive! Very nice man! Think you could build me one anytime soon?! HaHa

@Infantrydude1093 I have to resort to the plow if the snow is wet, but it works with dry snow. Of course it will be cold and try for the next three months. Thanks

that almost works

@apyt5218 First incarnation did not work too well. After some modes I now am able to drive into camp all winter long past two years. I have modified it further this fall with an improved fan and beater bar infront of the blower. Soon as we get snow I will post video 6.

haha not going to lie i think that it may be a little cloged up there

Well the blower part doesn't seem too terribly effective, but it makes a good box blade...

you people cant get it, the snow pushes it self in and keeps piling up untill more snow comes to push the snow into the blower, all it needs is something to push it into the blower!. then its patenbale!

[hujipher]

i think your jamming it

by the way I sold the Unimog after nine years. Will get another one when I retire. Hard to keep a big truck in the city and hated to leave it unattended at camp.
