PH Paul ,
I found a project for you Big Grin


if you read the comments,
they are not for sale any more,

the ice we have around here now would chew those up within a couple of feet

Interesting. Would be nice to see some actual user vids including ones where you accidentally slip off the drive.

Neat idea if your snowblower has the capacity to handle the increased volume. If you have to cut your forward speed in half it isn't going to save any time but would save some steps. It would depend on the quantity and heaviness of the snow.

Those will be OK in regular snow, but would be a problem when you get to the snow at the end of the driveway piled up 3-4 feet deep from the snow plow going by.

For snow as light as what they show in that video I'd just use my snowplow snow pushers/shovels.

Hmmmmmmm... Big Grin

Fine if you have perfectly groomed drives and sidewalks.

Humps, bumps, grass and gravel - Not so much. Don't think they'd be practical around here.

Besides, if all I have is that little dab of snow, I don't bother with it anyway.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

I don't break out the blower until there's around 8+ inches on the ground. Those wings look like they'd fold up on heavy snow.

I'm surprised I'm not wearing wings after blowing out my driveway today. Hard packed 2-3' drifts that I had to bust up with a shovel first before the blower could even take a bite out of them. There is no way those wing thingees would have worked today!

My snow blade that I use with my CAT skid steer has a pair of something similar albeit they are heavier duty.
I don’t use them on the first pass but use them after that with the blade angled.
The ones in the video look a little light weight, particularly the support shaft...
