Choosing a snowplow for a motoblock

Motoblock - an indispensable assistant for the owner of private suburban housing. The presence of such equipment makes it easier to clean the infield, processing the land in the country and in front of the house. However, with the onset of cold weather does not necessarily send a manual tractor for storage. Instead, you can install a snowplow on the motorized unit, which will allow you to clean the backyard area from snow and ice.

Principle of operation

The snow-picker on the motor-block joins the power take-off shaft. During movement on the site, the auger installed in the bucket of the device breaks the snow into small parts. Further, the ground mass is thrown aside by the air flow generated by the powerful fan. The distance to which the release of snow occurs depends on the degree of its compactness and humidity.

Acquiring the most functional snowplower on a motor-block, the user, as a rule, gets the opportunity to adjust the angle and range of snow scatter during cleaning of the site. At the same time, there are quite simple designs in the form of brushes and ordinary buckets, which we will discuss in more detail later.

Shovel-blade

It is the simplest snowplower on the motor-block, made in the form of a bucket. Such adaptations benefit not only during the winter period. Successfully they can be used for leveling the soil and gravel, cleaning debris, fallen leaves.

The width of the blade here varies from 80 to 150 cm. Therefore, the user has the opportunity to choose exactly the design, the dimensions of which correspond to the type and power of the existing motoblock. For the lightest hand-held tractors, buckets with a width of not more than a meter are designed. Really powerful motoblocks can be equipped with heavy-weight designs of maximum width.

The edges of the shovel-blade contain a rubber coating, which protects the surface from damage during snow cleaning. Such snowplows allow you to adjust the angle of rotation and tilt of the bucket. As a result, the user gets the opportunity to expose the blade to the optimal position when performing any work on the backyard or cottage area.

Snow blower with a brush

Manufacturers of components for motoblocks offer several options for attachments for snow removal. One of the most simple to use and effective solutions is a device with a rotating brush. Such adaptations are indispensable for cleaning surfaces that contain expensive decorative coating.

The snowblower with a brush is attached to the rotating shaft of the motor block. During one pass, a technician equipped with such a device is able to clean the track more than one meter wide.

When using a snow blower with a brush, it is possible to adjust the grip of the snow cap in several directions, by shifting the structure forward, to the right or to the left. The stripping height is also adjustable.

Rotary snow blower

If it is possible to cope with the cleaning of small volumes of snow, using attachments in the form of a bucket or a brush, then only the rotary snow plower for the motor block will allow to clear really high marks. Such mechanisms have the highest performance in comparison with all the above options. On average, a rotary mounted snowplow for a motor block takes a snow fence to a depth of about 25-50 cm.

The main structural element of such a nozzle is an auger that contains impellers. The rotating device captures the snow cap, which moves upwards, passes through the bell and is thrown out beyond the cleared area.

Snowplower for motoblock "Salute"

Attachment to the motor block of the brand is intended for clearing snow from even areas at an ambient temperature of 5 to -20 ° C. The device is manufactured in several separate modifications, which differ according to the method of connection to the hand tractor.

Snowplow is a prefabricated welded structure. The main functional element is screw auger. During its rotation, the snow mass moves in the direction from the edges to the center. Movable blades of the device ensure the advance of snow to the nozzle. The ejection direction is controlled by the rotary screen. On both sides of the body there are support plates, with which the height of snow removal is adjusted.

Snowplow characteristics:

• Length - 60 cm;
• Height - 82 cm;
• Width - 64 cm;
• Grip - 50 cm;
• The possibility of harvesting a snow cap with a thickness of up to 17 cm;
• Frequency of revolutions of the screw to 2100 rotations per minute;
• The weight of the snow-picker is 60 kg.

Snow-picker for the Neva motor-block

Attachment for a hand-held tractor of this brand is presented in the form of a welded body, in the middle of which is placed auger rotating mechanism. There is also a coupling device, drive elements, which provide connection to the motor block shaft.

What characteristics does the snowplower have on the Neva? The motor block, equipped with such attachments, allows to capture a snow mass of 60 cm in width and about 50 cm in height. As a result, it becomes possible to use the device effectively not only when it is necessary to clean the infield area, but also to clean up from replacing large production areas.

Snow-picker for the motor-block "Neva" needs careful care and timely maintenance. To extend the life of the device, it is necessary to check the reliability of the fasteners, the quality of the belt and bolt joints before each start of work . Fastening of fasteners is required after every 5-6 hours of continuous operation.

Snow thrower for motoblock own hands

To assemble a self-made snowplower to a motor block, it is enough to get a powerful engine that can be extracted from an old hand-held tractor. Roof sheet metal is the basis for the manufacture of a screw of the future device. The bucket shells can be made of plywood 10 mm thick.

For welding the frame construction of a self-made snowplower it is enough to take a metal corner. The handle here will serve as a pipe half an inch in diameter. From the ¾-inch pipe, it is possible to make a screw shaft, in the middle of which to create a saw for fastening metal blades intended for ejecting snow.

To prepare the auger from the roofing material, the electric jig needs to cut out the conveyor belt in the form of four rings. The diameter of each of them should be about 30 cm.

The engine is mounted on a platform, which is connected to the scoop of the snow-scraper by welded corners. The transmission can be a belt connection, which will transmit torque to the shaft of the screw.

The design is most convenient to put on skis, as the wheels will often get stuck in snow slips. This, in turn, will create a whole host of inconveniences in the operation of a self-made snow-picker.

To produce a pivoting chute, through which the snow mass will be thrown out, it is enough to take a plastic sewage pipe of impressive diameter. The latter is fixed to the auger body. In the end, it remains only to give the snow-picker a presentable appearance, treating the surface with paint.

Eventually

As can be seen, with the help of a snowplower it is quite easy to mechanize manual labor. Today, the market has a wide variety of hinged attachments to the motor blocks. However, if you want, you can make a practical device yourself. To assemble the unit, it will take only a few expenses for the purchase of materials, as well as the allocation of several days for the execution of work.
