Moderators dtel Posted September 17, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2014 Never seen anything like that before, well the guy really thought of everything, coolant going through the handlebars shows he is a veteran at dealing with snow and cold. Anyone within blocks can tell when he is moving snow, it's kind of scary really, just to see that thing sitting there at idle would intimidate people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Wow! tnr - that thing is the real deal! I have one for our house that was the biggest Lowe's sold (in Alaska a snowblower is a veeeeery good investment) but it PALES in comparison to that! Mine would be the humble squire at best to that knight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I may be missing it but I don't see the gas tank. Obviously it has one but it must be incredibly small. I wonder how long it would run on a tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Dtel, he will need one of these... 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower Just in case your havin' any trouble removing snow from your driveway... this baby will blow snow back to where it came from. If you're tired of anemic, one-lung snow blowers with their slipping drive belts, you might consider Kai Grundt's V8 snow blower which raises the bar on the traditional snow blower in every respect. With electric start, electric block heater, antifreeze heater and eight cylinders, it has no drive belts to freeze up and you'll never get bored with the job as the 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower, 430 foot pounds of torque and can throw snow 50 feet at just 3500 rpm. Nor will you get cold as the machine has been ingeniously designed to route the engine coolant through the handle bars, with the rear mounted, enclosed radiator keeping the operator nice and cozy. Maneuvering the massive beast (it has a total wet weight of 912 lbs) is a breeze thanks to the hydraulic-drive 4WD skid steer on independent walking beams which offers a zero turning radius. It's also as fast as you like, with an infinitely adjustable speed range on the drive wheels via dash mounted flow control. At the opposite end of the scale, it has more than enough torque to pull your car out of the ditch before the hydraulic motors stall! Adding to the well-balanced feel of the unit, just 15 pounds of down force on the handlebars will lift the auger blade off the ground in order to climb stairs/walkways for ease of snow removal. Safety has and continues to be paramount with spring return to center "fail safe" type directional controls with emergency stop and tether cords. Safety is one of the key themes, with a flashing blue light (as required by law in many areas) being the least of the safety features. No-one will fail to hear you with those twin throaty exhausts, which come standard with 92 decibels at the controls, though if the rumble of a V8 exhaust is music to your ears, you can obviously go much louder. Even at the standard baffling, hearing protection is strongly suggested. The powerful yard machine lights and a dashboard with back lit gauges complete the package to ease the burden of this normally reviled task. The custom 42 inch, two stage auger has a Chevrolet 10 bolt truck differential with spool and a centrifugal auger clutch with shear pin protection, further adding to the image of this "automotive theme blower." As each unit is custom-built, optional extras for the snow blower are both diverse and outrageous as the base unit - there are unlimited auger choices from single to multistage designs and various motor combinations to suit the religious preferences of the customer (Chevy, Dodge Hemi, Ford) and such exotica as a V-10 or a diesel engine or remote starting can be accommodated. And if, after a while, you feel you've outgrown the 400 horses, this particular engine is well catered for in the performance modification area, with Lunati camshaft, Milodon Gear drive, Holley and Edelbrock components to name a few, and there's always the fuel injection option too, if you feel you need to throw the snow out of the county or ensure your seat in the "neighborhood blower blingster hall of fame." Now by god this is what im talkin about, just being a nut with a full shop, all of the sudden your retired, and can do anything you want, i like it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Cooler this morning....may cut the grass. Had a rare third cup of coffee this morning. Been over indulging at happy hour. I guess you call it happy hour drinking alone? Talked with my bud and forum member bluesboy who now is out in the Seattle area. He is working finally and pulling for his Seahawks. We discussed the possibility of me trading my hybrid LS for hybrid Khorns another forum member has. Really have not been listening much for a while. Anyone in Warren, OH want to go look at this sweetheart I have been talking with on Match.com? And report back. She has me interested enough to google the distance between us (679.8 miles). Cheers Gents 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
