Self Contained Snowblower for Bobcat 310
I built a snowblower for my Bobcat skid steer. I started with a couple of old Ariens snow blowers that I chopped up and welded back together to make a 54 inch unit. After trying different engines I settled on a Predator 670cc v twin rated at 22hp. I removed three of the six blades from the impeller, replaced the steel drive shaft with a Monel 400 prop shaft from an inboard boat. I made the shaft longer to add another bearing. Shaft is driven by a size 60 o-ring chain, no clutch. The chute has been lengthened and the chute guide was replaced with a tapered unit to throw the snow farther. The chute rotation is handled by a 12 volt seat motor and the chute guide is moved by a hydraulic ram connected to modified trim tab pump. Controls for the engine and chute are in the cab. This thing works quite well...
