That's just crazy! Love it great job building that thing.Seems to throw the snow decent too and rocks don't seem to bother it much.....  |

Now you just need to put a VW turbo on the tractor for more power in deep snow.  |

Well last night I set about cleaning out a little bit more of my driveway before putting the snowblower away and ended up driving about a km to a buddy's camp and back, then out to the end of my road and back blowing snow the entire time haha. The blower was working amazingly in about 4-6" of good frozen snow. At the camp I hooked something and bent one of my wings though   |

im trying to figure out how it can spin the auger so fast while driving comparably slower is there like an insane gear reduction in the PTO?
