Rear-Mount Engine Drives Front-Mount ATV Snowblower ATV'S ATV'S 23-6-44 "The rear-mount engine on our new ATV-mounted snowblower helps balance the snowblower's weight, making the ATV easy to steer at all times," says Michael Gustafson, Erskine Mfg., Erskine, Minn. The new-style snowblower was introduced at the recent Big Iron Show in Fargo, N. Dak.
The system uses a 48-in. wide hydraulic-driven snowblower made by Polaris and is designed to mount on front of any Polaris 300 series or larger ATV. A 13 hp Tecumseh rope-start gas engine on back shaft-drives a hydraulic pump. The snowblower bolts onto the ATV's existing snow blade lift bracket. A pair of small rubber wheels mount behind the snowblower to help support its weight.
"Moving the engine back counter balances the weight of the snowblower on front," says Gustafson. "The blower throws snow 30 to 40 feet out. It takes only five minutes to remove the entire unit. A foot clutch is used to engage the snowblower. You rotate the chute by pulling on a lever that mounts just ahead of the steering wheel."
The snowblower is available from Polaris dealers. Sells for $2,995 plus S&H.
