"Wheeled Snow Shovel" FARM HOME Miscellaneous 25-6-30 Trouble with his back motivated Charles German of Rochester, Minn., to invent a wheeled snow shovel.
The 4-wheeled unit consists of a 30-in. wide wood-handled snow shovel attached to a metal frame. The operator holds onto a pair of long handles on back.
To dump snow off the blade, you raise the unit up on its back wheels, so that the blade is about 2 1/2 ft. off the ground. Then you reach down and release the handle of the shovel so it flips up. A kick bar mounted above the rear set of wheels can be used to push the blade into hard or heavy snow.
"I use it to clear snow from a double-wide driveway between two houses. It really works fast. Another advantage is that I'm less likely to slip when working on ice because I've got something to hang onto," notes German.
