Ok, it isn't that I am cheap, it is more that I have a lot of free time and enjoy projects. I have 2 older 24" snowblowers that run fine, but aren't really worth anything. Has anyone tried bolting or welding 2 snow blowers together and mounting them to their fel bucket? It seems like a very workable idea. It seems like it would be fairly easy to make a quick detach that would slide onto the bucket and bolt down.
Snowblower Mount 2 snowblowers to bucket?

I thought about doing this but figured a plow would be better. My biggest concern was the speed of the tractor moving compared to what the blowers could handle????

chute rotation would be a pain!!

Hey winddance, that's my idea! (Just kidding)
I've been dreaming about that since before I bought a tractor - 'cus I'm cheap and sometimes handy, too!
I've thought that the easiest way to move the chutes would be to install an electric actuator with wires and switches - no bulky hoses etc.
Fix the throttles wide open with an emergency kill switch just in case.
The feature that I'd like to have is the ability to lift the blower up high to knock off the tops of high snow banks.
That way when you reach the end of the driveway at the street you can see over the snow banks to know if traffic is coming down the road.

sorta of a redneck setup ?
Pull wheels off, put blower in bucket, strap it down good with rachet straps. attach cable to the auger drive for fast release shutoff. Start er up and let er rip!

@Radioman - You forgot the "put on the hat with 2 beer cans" step...
Please video all outings - this has YouTube sensation written all over the understory!

I wrote a reply, tried to be funny, but it was coming out sounding mean. Not what I wanted... Too grumpy from this weather in MN for my humor to work. So nevermind.
Anyhow, I wanna see pictures too.
I do suspect you will 'probably' need to stay in low gear as well!

over on plowsite.com there are some pics of a guy that put three of them in his bucket of his fel. He didn't have the chutes adjusted too great, there was snow going everywhere. I looked for the post, if I can find it I will put it up here, Really kinda redneck

I wouldn't want to have to run 3 motors to move snow and I would think one would throw snow on the other. I've thought about doing something similar but the obstacles have nixed it. I'd like to see you successfully do this.

I think it would be Painfully slow. i had a small snowblower, and it was really really slow, and I was just walking behind it, not trying to clean out a whole long driveway with a tractor.
Sure would be funny to see tho! Maybe you could get a small electric one for cleaning snow off of Decks, and you could work on spooling out the cord while you are waiting for it to blow the snow!

I know, I know; get a backhoe attachment for your tractor, and attach the electric one to you boom, and use that for clearing your decks.

I just think it would be cool to see the left blower blowing left and the right blower blowing right. It would be like parting the sea.
here is the link YouTube - Snow Removal - Wisconsin style!

Wombat125, I didn't think of shooting it both directions, LOL.
Pendog, that video is funny. He's flying along, good thing it's fluffy snow.
