Is it just me or does that seem like a result of a bet made in a bar somewhere.

"You know, I bet I could make me one fine snow blower out of my old pick up"

Followed by "Betcha couldn't"

Mentioned it to a buddy today....he said it was on the Discovery channel....said they had the guy who built it, show it running (loudly).

It needs to be air cooled. Maybe a Type 4 blower would be better.

It dosnt sound too loud to me. Found a Youtube video of it. I expected it to be louder.

Why do I like this thing....?

A 545 and it's not ride along.

IT needs more mods Rick...get it.

It needs a seat (heated of course) a fully enclosed cabin with tunes and a place to put the coffee cup.

Garold:

Showed it to my Wife: She said: " Go ahead and by it if you want! "

"Your not useing that thing anywhere near this house" I think the neighbors

would be a little upset tho. But I really can see it going up and down your

driveway. Teach Julie to use it , and watch from a safe distance.

I prefer this one.

It doesn't boast 400 hp- in fact only 25 or so. But it's throwing the snow 150ft.

With something like this, it wouldn't matter if the neighbors didn't like it. You could bury them.
