Plowing Snow w/Blaster

[calcium12]

im up in the great white north and we get a fair bit of snow...but i was wondering is it possible to plow snow with your blaster? even though this bring back bad memories of winter for some of you I:I-> if so what mods (if any) have to be done, if there is already a thread about this can someone re-direct me I:I

ive tried this made me very mad cause it didnt work lol but i put one of those plastics shuvles on the front of the bumped and tied it down but i ended up running it over an the shuvle snapped lol.

 

[calcium12]

lol that was a good decision

ive heard of people cutting 50 galloon drums in half and using that as one on a blaster but no clue on how they mounted it

 

[calcium12]

thats weird? 50 gallon drums yoo would think they would be a bit more civilized

 

[yes se-r]

lol doesnt sound like a good idea unless you have chains..even that doesnt sound great hha

if you bolt a winch to the back of a blaster and put a steel pole in the middle of your driveway and you wrap the cable around the pole, you just plow in a circle!..... lmfao, that will be your reverse and put a v-plow on the front, less resistance than a straight one.

lmfao hahaahha there ya go.... just get out there wit a shuvle and do it by hand. or if u got a snow blower use that.

umm i got some suggestions. if ur light like me, u need to add some weight to ur blaster(front and back) cuz once u start pushing snow u wont move anywhere lol. chains are a good idea also but u need em on all four cuz u wont be able to turn too well if u put them on only in the back. and the plow.... u can try the 50 gallon drum idea. and if u got and aftermarket bumper and ur stock one laying around, u can fab a snowplow onto the stock. pretty much simple to make. u make 4 metal(ur choice) bars and u weld em onto ur bumper so that the all touch the 50 gallon drum. u can get a lil creative and give it a tilt by having 2 short bars on one side. but that isnt too advisable because itll all build up eventually on one side of ur dirveway and i really doubt ur blaster can push all that snow without slipping.

wat i did when it snowed is i just compacted it down on my drive way by putting stock tires on and deflating them and just running over fresh snow until my entire driveway was covered in tracks. hope this helps!

Unless your drive way is a mile long do it by hand bro ...get paid..

 

[calcium12]

my drive way is pretty long but not that long -> i would have to plow like the length of 2 big trucks with a trailer

 

[calcium12]

thats probably like 120 feet? i really dont know

hey here is a vid of a guy plowing with his 2 wheel drive fourwheeler, maybe this will get ur brain moving, its a trx 250 but its an idea..^.^

 

[calcium12]

lol thats madddd getto its like a wood frame with duct-tape on it to hold the shovel

 

[ATVkid2002]

haha!! i can't do that i got a stone driveway..but i thought it would be good laughs or for maybe some help..

 

[xmous3yx]

yeah too bad the blaster dont got reverse lol

 

[ATVkid2002]

lol yeah that would be nice..
