He Swaps 84-In. Snowblower From Tractor To Truck
One snowblower is all you need for truck and tractor use if it's from SnowVac. Equipped with wireless controls and its own engine for power, the SnowVac snowblower can move from tractor to truck and back in minutes if both vehicles are equipped with quick-attach systems.
"It's set up to work with standard Arctic snowplow mounts on trucks," says Robert Famoso, SnowVac. "The Arctic mount is heavy-duty with the hydraulic pump built into the mount frame, where it's protected and out of the weather. The operator has the option of quickly swapping out a snowplow for the snowblower."
Tractor options include the front-end loader quick-connects or a lift mount that can be attached in place of front-end weights. Either way, the blower is mounted to the front end of the tractor for maximum visibility.
"The 84-in. SnowVac is designed for use with 3/4-ton trucks and larger tractors that can handle its 1,200-lb. weight," says Famoso.
Regardless of what the SnowVac is attached to, it's easy to adjust and operate. The wireless control unit is the size of two cigarette packs and can be hung by a strap around the neck. It controls start/stop, chute up/down and throttle. The Arctic mount has its own control package for raising, lowering and swiveling the blower or snowplow.
Power for the 84-in. wide blower is provided by a 38 hp, commercial grade, Kohler engine.
The snow blower has a base price of $10,300. It's also available with hydraulic chute rotator, electric-powered chute deflector and flip-up engine cover for $11,300.
SnowVac also makes a 60-in. snowblower designed for use with lighter trucks and utility tractors. A 27 hp Kohler powers it.
