Snow blower on a loader

Recommended Posts

Forest Road

I've often considered mounting my WH 2 stage blower on my loader. It would require a separate engine just to drive it. I assume it'd be easier to mount every year. And should be much more versatile, especially in those 6-8' tall snow banks. Has anyone else contemplated such a task?

Bobcat has a unit like that. Talk about an awesome piece of snow removal machinery!  :thumbs:

Not sure where I found it but, might have been on My tractor forum.  They used a Case snow blower mounted on a Cub Cadet loader on a 147.  Bucket curl valve ran the auger

Kevin, that would be the ticket just like Duane suggested. Case/Ingersoll attachments like their Snocaster are hydraulically driven. Would the sub-frame for the Kwik-Way take the additional stress?

ive used one on a gehl skid steer,it was useless in wet snow,im not saying a wheelhorse unit wouldn't work,but the skid steer model wasn't as impressive as I would have thought,in cold snow it was great,but when it plugged you had to get out and manually clear it

interesting idea, blower on a loader could be interesting. Drive the auger with a hydraulic motor and that could be a winner. Probably wouldn't be that difficult to do with a single stage.
