Now that’s wild…:wink:

Looks & runs great!

Wow nice job Todd.

Does it have a mulcher setting, too? :slight_smile:

Looking good Todd!

Now you need to work on using a try pod to film it!!!

Nice work. You need to get a patent on that thing. You should add a heating unit to it. Then you can melt snow with it.

WOW, That just blows me away…:slight_smile:

Thanks guys I’m glad you approve. I’m thinking it will blow powderery snow just as well or even better than leaves. The video is a bit shaky at the beginning but gets better toward the end.
Yesterday I put a 12volt 6ah closed cell battery in it so that should give me more consistant power over a longer span than the old 12 volt cordless drill battery I was using.

I did try the Rotary on leaves…

Leaves to stiff to go into shoot.Just pushed them along.

I know my rotary wouldn’t work on leaves but I bet this blower will work with snow. On occasion I have used a string of hopper cars to take leaves done back for dumping which is labor intensive but a excuse to run trains. Imagine a rotary mulcher with a conveyor to load the hoppers behind it? Such a beast would need to be gas powered and the mulching blades very sharp… I’m dreaming here. LOL

Nice add to the bottom; plow, can see it pushing twigs etc. out of the way.

Great build.

Thanks Bob, the plow is made from a PVC pipe. I should have dropped it just a bit because little twigs still get under it. I might put a piece of foam wweather stripping under there to help. I do the same on my Aristo plow and it works.
