I picked this up earlier this year and man what a difference it makes. It cut my plowing time by half! I team this up with a 3pt 68" Meteor Snow Blower.

So I guess the reason for sharing is when your out there with your rigs, don稚 forget to help the less fortunate out, something that takes us a few mins might save someone else hours.

I don稚 agree with people who wait for a neighbor to ask before they will help, if you see something that needs done and you can easily do it, just do it. A little random act of kindness now and again goes a long way. Maybe then neighbors won稚 act so selfish all the time.

Amen Brother!

Thank you.

Here's a short video I took on Boxing Day after we got home from visiting with the family over Christmas. This is my kioti cs2210 with a 54" meteor snowblower. Was the first good snow I got to play in and was happy with how this setup handled it. The horn blower was my son, he's 1.5 years old and loves being on the tractor with me (I don't let him mow the lawn with me though)

Thank you for the dimensions

Used my setup on 3 snow storms so far and it has worked like a champ. You would be surprised by how much snow you can push with wings added.

Usually we attach the braces about 1/3 up the sides of the wings and approximately 1/3 of the bucket width.
For removable 'wings' I like a simple weld tabs on wings and the bucket that I bolt the braces onto for easy seasonal removal.
Tubing (square or round) with slits cut out and drilled to match the tab holes works well.
I actually on mine simply drop 1/2" bolts thru the holes.

If you don't you will shortly simply tear away those wings once loaded up with snow.
\Otherwise your wings look real good.

Used on 3 storms so far and has worked well. Nothing broken or bent. This has decreased the time required for the snow removal. work. I am surprised by the amount of snow you can move with the wings added.

Thanks for the update. I have my steel to make mine. But the AC is stuck on in my big sky garage so I have been putting it off to build it. I have no desire to be playing with steel in below zero weather.

Made a video of my snow weapon. it is a Blizzard B64 on a John Deere 4210

Excellent video.

Any pics or video of that custom chute rotator linkage. Looks very interesting.

Hi Amvcane, i have a new video that shows the linkage better, nothing custom on my end, this is how i purchased it, it works great and fast, it has never failed me.

Odd, I have the same issue. :D

Here's my snow weapon. Fortunately or unfortunately it's still parked in the weeds this winter and I don't have a picture of it at work. This time last year we were buried, this year we've had maybe 2" of snow. It's based on an '83 Chevy one ton and the blower is hydraulically powered by a small block V8 mounted in the bed. The truck itself is powered by a 454. It runs through fuel real quick with a total of 804 cubic inches of Chevy V8's sucking up the gas.

I bet it takes a lot of fuel. That's quite the light on top too.

Clean looking truck. That truck in this area would be a heap of rust.

Looks like a fun machine.

Did you set that beast up yourself? Looks like it may have been an airport machine "in it's day" .:confused3:
1 or 2 more of those lights and I'd think you could just melt the snow:laughing:

We recieved 9" through the day so I figured I'd get a jump on things last night. The wind was still whipping around so I waited till this am to finish. If you hang in long enough you'll see the house up my steep driveway. Storms like these reminds me why I need a heated cab. :D

It was hard to tell how much fell with all that wind!
Plowing last evening certainly would have been more pleasant with a cab but was almost impossible without ski goggles!
