That is a steel pump, not aluminum. It is so heavy. 4 winters. Still going.

This originally was Mike Knapp's ice and asphalt sled.

Did you get his other ones

There is a 1000 out there. Not sure if they are actively trying to get it. They have a snow drag version of this in black.

Great Idea!!

It is 43hp, 38 to the pto.

Three seasons still going. Glad I went this route. I now have a snow pusher. I push everything where it needs to be, then quickly switch to the blower and blow into piles and cut in where needed. The blower was old. I am going to need a chain and put a seal in the chute rotation motor. Always wet with oil. Blowing distance depends on rpm, ground speed and snow density. Usually about 20ft high and 30ft out would be perfect everything. I would love to have a 50hp tractor. Mine is a 43, and puts 38 to the pto. Hydro efficiency converts that to around 32hp doing work. Would be nice to have a little more. I'm on the low side of power for this blower. Love no shear pins. Nothing worse than messing around with tools in the snow.

@@scottwhite2379 thats great to hear its working well for you.. What model Kubota are you running? How deep does the snow get on a big storm day?

Thanks a lot!!

The tank was recycled from a mill scrap yard. I think it would hold 30 gallons full up. I keep around 20 to 25 in it. It has a slosh plate inside and a separator so return cant directly feed supply. Helps cooling. If I built it again I would have built my own tank to fit attached to the tractor. That way I could mor easily change out rear attachments. I have gone this whole year not needing to so I guess not a big deal.

You need to unbolt the sunroof on the sides and remove if it doesnt operate. 6 screws behind the acordian looking plastic covering on each side

If you roll back the curtain, the screws are along the sides. Flashlight needed for sure.

It is a prince 22 gallon cast iron.

@@scottwhite2379 thanks

Is that a custom bracket holding the pump to the tractor?

Where did you get the bracket to hold the pump???

@@joeholland428 yes. I made the mount. The bolt coming off of it is a handle to help removal.

There are two. Not sur on size. Quick attach told me I needed 22 to 24gpm to run it. I wish prince made a 24 or 5 gpm pump. It would have worked better with my tractor torque curve. 2000rpm seams about right but for full flow, some times I need 2500

I'm using a 4.6ci drive motor and a 1.5ci pump. My current thinking is that I'll try for the max 16gpm at 2500rpm and be able to throttle down when it's not as loaded. We rarely get more than a foot of snow at a time, so the berm at the street is the only real high load I'm likely to see.

Surplus Center still has 4 of these. It's like 137ft-lbs torque at 630rpm on 14gpm. 9-9512

@@MotivatedMetalworks my big issues blowing is that I need to re-blow my snow a few times. My 6 in storm turns into 18in storm on the last throw. Sure slows me down. My yard is on the corner of a 4lane road with 150ft frontage. Town dumps alot of extra on me. Waiting on a gauge to plumb in to monitor pressure so I can tell if I ned to adjust either of my relief valves.

@@scottwhite2379 the flow determines speed and pressure determines force. If you're not operating at enough flow, the motors won't generate rated force until they're slowed down enough to build pressure. Make sense? Can you see any part numbers on the motors?
