Mower plow
Plow snow with your self-propelled mower | |
Clear snow with the big boys! Simply
attach
this blade to the front of your lawn-
mower
and you'll move more snow than in less
time
than you thought possible. This would be
for a walk behind mower, ideally the
self-propelled kind.
The blade is angled, so the offending
water
crystals
get shoved aside; no need to
scoop
or shovel at the end of a row. The weight
of
the mower (don't forget your snow-
chains)
makes this work.
For an even cleaner sidewalk, replace the
lawn-cutting blade with the broomblade
attachment.
[UB]s incorporated a couple more features.

A surprisingly practical idea. For use only in certain climates - I imagine [FarmerJohn] would buy one. |

Seems unnecessary. A plow shovel works just fine. The lawnmower is very bulky. |
|
| |
I'd say it's about half unnecessary, daseva!
There's probably a reason this hasn't been
well-baked. But I do know several people
with both a bulky lawn-mower and a bulky
snowblower. |

You don't see traction as a potential problem? Those wheels seem mighty skinny for this application, snow chains or not. |
|
| |
Since there is no steering mechanism to contend with, you might be able to install a set of rubber and/or steel cleated wider-than-puny-mower-wheel tracks. |
|
| |
Then again, I live in the Sonoran desert so what do I know about snow plows? |

UnaBubba's SnowMowChipNBlow definately
has the MowerPlow beat in the feature set
(Sorry UB, didn't see your post). While the
impetous – consolidating machinery and
reducing redundancies – is the same, I'd
argue that there's room for both entries. If
only because of the differences in scope
and do-ability. |

This would be for a walk behind mower,
ideally the self-propelled kind. (now added
to my description. Thx Scout) |
