wallfish 16,985 #1 Posted January 14, 2020 Tony @Docwheelhorse did a thread and showed some pics of a set up like this but couldn't find it to add this one. Just happened to come across it on the net while searching for something else but thought it was interesting enough to share. It's for sale by the way on South Jersey CL so have at it. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,277 #3 Posted January 14, 2020 I remember the thread... Up here around the lakes region there is a person who has a larger one they use for contract work clearing narrow camp roads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,783 #5 Posted January 14, 2020 Odd there was never one made commercially for a truck by Western or Hiniker etc... Or is there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't the foggiest of the name brand that I've seen up here but it was definitely commercial. 102 in wide. Probably 30 in tall. Single shoot that's probably four or five feet tall. I think it had like a 13 or 15 horse motor. I don't remember ever talking to the person directly but others had mentioned that he was contracted by private camp Road owners where they were single-lane roads and not much place to put the snow banks that a plow would produce. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,666 #7 Posted January 15, 2020 I remember seeing this a number of years ago, and thought it was pretty cool. It’s up around Eric’s way. I’ve been in the commercial snowplowing business for 30+ and I have to admit there’s been several times when I thought “man I wish I had a snowblower on the front of my truck!!” 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly is a very different animal from a regular plow. I would imagine that if a customer had a specific need for something like that it would be reflected in your fees. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
