Electric snow shovel

[TommySr]

First post.

Xmas day was sweet for me, got my snow shovel working(but, not completed, I'm slow)

Now need some snow!

 

[Dub11]

Welcome and that is slick!
Did you make that yourself?
And it needs some grapples on it to snag logs and stuff.

 

[TommySr]

yes, I made it.
I did the designing, machining, and programming, but I had the welding done professionally.
I have a mower attachment, 50" plow attachment, and now a bucket attachment.

I use FPV for most attechments

should i pull over for it when the blue lights are on?

 

[TommySr]

woodtool89, once I get the other half put together, you may not want
to stop, it will drive over you.

You gotta be *s-wordtin' me!!!! Very slick.

While we have not received any measurable snow to play with I did
get to test with Ice, and it froze to the inside of the bucket and failed to
come out when dumped. "Crap!"

I'm going to have to look into coating the bucket with something to
keep that from happening.

Maybe Pam?

Pretty slick!
Have you had it or plan to take it off of hard surfaces? I would be concerned if the ground were to be soft that the narrow hard casters would simply dig in. Especially with any weight in the bucket, but even empty.

Dud11, I'll give Pam cooking spray a try.(Thanks) seems better then the way I was thinking(heating the bottom of bucket)

redline4, once I have the back half completed I well no longer need them casters. before spring gets here I should have it done.

Ah, now I see. Much more capable then.

Philbert, only difference is my toy can pick up the dog, you and me all together.
and my toy never sh**s on the floor.

Fluid Film

 

[TommySr]

MarkEagleUSA, I checked out videos on Fluid Film(sold at farm&fleet) on youtube,
It looked worth trying on the bucket, but also all the parts I have not painted yet(waiting until welding is complete).

 

[redline4]

What about putting some of the plastic on the bottom of the bucket they make those little poly snowplows out of? I cant remember what type its called, but it's supposed to be pretty slick.

@TommySr what part of Wi. are you in?
