From a personal standpoint the Hanson Blower was horribly underpowered.
An 8' blower can use 100hp to do a nice job, 24 hp on 7' is far from adequate.
Fair mfg put 48hp on their 48" bobcat mounted blowers..

Now that you have jogged my memory about the Fair Mfg.
motorised snow caster for skid steer loaders-
It was a four cylinder air cooled Duetz engine that was mounted
transversely and between the Duetz engine and the two stage snow clearer
attachment you could barely see over the bloody thing in the cab of the
skid steer loader they used for the demonstration video.
If the Hanson had a solid cross auger you could simply let your 4 wheel truck
stay in low low range and the snow caster would never plug because the feed volume
is always regulated to the impeller. The samew would apply to the Fair Mfg. skid steer unit that was made.
