Homemade snowblower

[Old66ford]

Hello! Been a while since I've posted, been busy but the Super Major has been running good!

Finally had a decent snowfall here 2 weeks ago, and I got to try out the homemade snowblower my grandpa had built. Works good, about 6" of snow, and of course I had a pass done before I thought to record it working.

Short videos, one is going in 1st gear, the other in 2nd. The only problem I have is it piles up too much snow faster than it can move it, so I will be looking at ways to rectify that this coming summer.

After my driveway, I was clearing a spot for my neighbors to ride their horses, and in 1st gear, with 7-8" of snow, it was pushing it all the way to the front axle, and barely bogging down. Tire chains sure help as well.

Nice videos. Here is an image off my ekipage here in Sweden. Though the snow seem to be gone for the season now.


I think the blower is finnish, kontu, but see no name on it.

By the way in the winter twilight there is a time when everything turn bluish, we call it the blue hour.


Edited to fix image.
