Clearing snow from your dacha area is one of the most serious concerns of winter. That is why today we will look at ways to do this, as well as the special tools and equipment that will be needed for the job.
Dacha in winter time looks amazing, whatever you say. Of course, this only applies to snowy winters, because seeing bare trees and slush underfoot is not very pleasant. But even fluffy snow has a disadvantage when it covers everything indiscriminately, lays down in a serious layer on the roofs of houses and greenhouses, turns into a knocked-down layer underfoot and freezes into ice, covers the farm yard, lawn, and so on. It is for this reason that we should think about high-quality snow removal, which is necessary for us not only to ensure beauty, but also a certain comfort and safety, and to preserve buildings and country paths in proper form.
Snow removal equipment
First of all, I would like to consider the equipment that will help us in our work.
Snow shovel
The most commonplace, but also the most popular device, which is difficult to work with, but very pleasant. Special shovels will help you quickly and efficiently clear flat areas, remove snow from the threshold and path to the house, throw it into piles in the right places, or bring it into a greenhouse, where it is necessary to protect the soil in winter and saturate it with moisture in the spring.
Today there are many options for such shovels on the market, including plywood, plastic and metal.
We use a scraper
A more serious device that is a little more difficult to operate. But it should also be noted that with its help, cleaning becomes better, especially if there is a certain amount of ice under the snow layer. Using a scraper or a special ice pick, you can tap, beat and break off the ice, then collect it and throw it onto a common snow pile.
It is also interesting that this tool can be different sizes. For example, small scrapers that are designed only for ice, and wide scrapers that can remove a layer of snow at once, designed for several shovels at once.
Special snow removal equipment Every dacha should have one, but you can always expand your garage, for example, by purchasing equipment for similar purposes.
We work on an ATV
Naturally, this will not be a special snow-removing ATV, but the same one on which you go on a safari or just ride outside the city for fun. The only requirement is attachments to remove snow, otherwise you won’t be able to do anything but trample it even more.
Remember, when using such equipment, you must choose attachments strictly according to the parameters, otherwise you can damage the motorcycle or break the purchased bucket.
We use a walk-behind tractor
Working with a walk-behind tractor in this case is completely justified, because it is no longer manual cleaning, slow and with long breaks, but completely mechanized work that can last exactly as long as you need to achieve a certain result.
It is also interesting that with a walk-behind tractor, a special attachment and a little free time on hand, you can not only clear any area, but also throw excess snow from the road, the entrance to the yard, and even the utility yard anywhere in the right direction.

Loader to the rescue
A mini tractor or loader is a drastic measure when the dacha is really seriously snowed, but you don’t want to give up in the fight against the snow. And rightly so, because if possible, the entire snowball can be taken out of the yard or thrown into a ditch near the summer cottage.
In addition, with the help of this technique you can always give your children or grandchildren unforgettable entertainment. For example, you can help them build a large snow castle, or simply sketch out and trample a snow mountain with equipment for fun. Sleds, skis, bags, wet clothes and noses red from the frost - you will see all this very soon!
Major cleaning
If you are the owner of a large country house with adjacent territories of impressive size, then there are no tasks for a shovel, and even a walk-behind tractor will not cope, because you will have to work with such equipment not for hours, but for days. In this case, you can always take advantage of special snow removal services that are provided by certain organizations in winter. Of course, you can remove the snow near the entrance to the house and clean the paths yourself, but if you need to clear several square kilometers of territory, you will have to order more serious equipment.
This is a snow removal tractor, powerful and reliable, which will not get stuck in the middle of your yard until spring, a special blade with which it is equipped, and a machine for removing snow from the territory.
Naturally, such a pleasure is not cheap, so be prepared to incur expenses, or take a shovel out of the garage and slowly remove the snow from your dacha area with your own hands.
Handmade or clearing snow with a car or other special equipment - it’s up to you to choose, but if the territory of the dacha is small, then you can always do it yourself, without extra expenses.
We work effectively with our own hands
We have already examined the main devices for clearing the territory, we also paid attention to serious equipment, all that remains is to study the operating rules. This is not a mandatory set of rules and not methodological material, but just advice experienced summer residents.
Clearing paths and driveways
First of all, we clear the driveways and approach roads to make moving around and around the dacha area comfortable. You can use any equipment for this, but the main thing to remember is that there may be asphalt under the snow layer, paving slabs, cast concrete paths and other materials and elements that cannot be damaged. Snow should be removed carefully, using the tool of your choice and even a broom or broom if you want to do a clean job.
Removing snow from roofs
Don't forget where and what kind of roof you have installed. Let's put it simply, gable roof New slate will easily withstand even a thick layer of snow, which itself will not linger on it, but a polycarbonate greenhouse will need to be cleaned.
We recommend that you do this without exerting any effort, slowly pulling the snowdrifts towards you and gradually removing them to the ground. You shouldn’t create thick layers on top of the greenhouse, like first on one side, then on the other, and then I’ll throw off all the snow at once. This way you can manage the amount of snow that the cover may not be able to support.
For the convenience of cleaning roofs and canopies, you can use another simple device - an ordinary (or specially made for this purpose) mop. With its help, you can remove snow in small portions and dump it on the ground without damaging the covering materials of buildings.
Cleaning and removal of snow from the territory
This is not at all necessary, if there was a small layer of snow, it does not interfere and is not compressed by feet into thick and slowly melting ice. But if there is a lot of snow, it should not be dumped into heaps, otherwise in the spring you will continue to see a dirty mountain for a long time, which will now have to be scattered. But not only the aesthetic factor plays a role, but also waterlogging, which is possible in places where snow is dumped after a very snowy winter. This way, you can contribute to the plants getting wet, which we certainly don’t want.
Chemical cleaning
We have known for a long time that ordinary kitchen salt works well to remove snow and ice, and especially frost from thresholds and paths. Sand is also used for paths, which can be scattered after cleaning to create a safe surface. But these methods have their drawbacks, which everyone understands. For example, salt corrodes the soles of shoes, and sand turns into mud and, accordingly, remains on the surface of the paths after the snow melts and dries, and is also constantly carried into the house on the same shoes. In this regard, we offer you an alternative method - the use of special reagents.
This chemistry was invented a long time ago, but in wide sale came out relatively recently. Of course, chemistry is just chemistry to be unsafe, but you can always choose the most suitable one for yourself. suitable option, because these products are produced on different bases, according to different formulas, and by different factories. That is, you can always choose.
Today you can buy reagents very inexpensively, literally a little more expensive than the same table salt, but they will do a much better job. Many of them are made specifically according to our requirements and, for example, do not corrode rubber and shoes, do not affect soil fertility, and so on. Choose the most suitable anti-snow and anti-icing reagents, use them according to the instructions and with the use of protection, and remove snow and ice from your dacha without effort, simply scattering the product around the area.
Snow removal on summer cottage must be well thought out, because this is one of the ways to make territory beautiful winter and well-groomed in the spring.
Do-it-yourself snow removal at the dacha (video)
There's nothing wrong with clearing snow at your dacha., especially when you are prepared in advance for snowdrifts. Therefore, if you haven’t been swept away yet, quickly go to the store for at least a basic shovel...
In winter, snow drifts interfere with normal movement. As a result of snowfalls, the surface of yards and lawns is completely covered.
This reason should make you take care of timely liquidation snow not only for the sake of order, but also for the safety of movement.
In order to prevent snowdrifts, roads need to be cleaned in a timely manner. Cleaning snow is a difficult and tedious job, but if you have convenient and effective equipment, this process can be significantly speeded up.
Currently domestic market offers a wide variety of winter equipment for snow removal. But we'll tell you how to do it different types scrapers (scrapers) for removing snow with your own hands.
Manualsnow scraper
The peculiarity of the manual scraper is its ease of use, as well as the low material waste when creating the scraper.
A hand scraper is indispensable for clearing areas of ice, but the runners will have to be pulled with difficulty along the sidewalk and ground. Therefore, it is better to make a manual scraper on wheels.
Let's look at the main stages of creating a manual scraper for removing snow on wheels:
1. To create a scraper blade, we need a pipe with a diameter of 27 cm, then we cut out a sector from it. As a result, we get the required blade.
2. Use an unwanted baby stroller to create a frame
3. We make emphasis with the help of unnecessary water pipes. We create slots for the wheel axles in the pipes on one side, and weld them to the scraper blade on the other.
4. Take metal corners and create ears for fastening the racks.
5. To control the height of the handle, we make three holes in the upper part of the racks.
6. In order not to spoil the asphalt, you can install a protective conveyor belt to the lower parts of the blade. We paint the scraper.
Result: the scraper is very easy to use and cleans snow quickly and conveniently. Thanks to the conveyor belt, the asphalt and concrete covering don't get scratched.
Snow scraper brush
A snow scraper brush is one of the most universal remedies. Its configuration can be different, the main thing is that it fits comfortably in the hand.
What to make brush bristles from. Often, artificial bristles, similar to thick fishing line, are used for brushes.
You can, of course, make a brush from natural bristles, but then you will have to be generous financially. The stiffness of the brush will depend on the task at hand.
The scraper should not be heavy in weight, otherwise your hands will get tired quickly. Therefore, when creating a scraper, pay attention to its weight, since this is one of the main characteristics.
Plastic snow scrapers
The advantage of a plastic scraper over others is that snow practically does not stick to it and it is much lighter in weight, so working with it is much easier.
A plastic scraper, like other types of scrapers, can be created in any size. A small scraper can only be used for ice, but a wide one can clear most plot.
A plastic scraper is suitable for clearing snow from not only roads, but also roofs.
Metal scraper for snow removal
Steps to create a metal snow scraper:
1. Take a size of 1500×800 mm a metal sheet, a 3-meter pipe for the handle, as well as 2 parts of a metal angle, 1 m long for future runners. 
2. Bend the tips of the runners and attach the handle. At a distance of a couple of millimeters in front of the posts, we install 2 pins, then attach the sheet to them.
3. Firmly install the upper part of the scraper using clamps.
Clamps will help control the height and are able to secure the side panel.
By the way, the scraper can be made foldable if there is a need to transport it in transport.
With the help of a special tool like a scraper, snow removal becomes better and faster.
A homemade snow scraper is not complicated in its design, and making it will not be difficult.

Selected for you:
Clearing the road of snow in winter is an important undertaking, and also good for health if you resort to manual labor. But labor-intensive! And the greater the distance, the more effort and time have to be spent on putting the road in order. And if a tractor is a rare guest in your area, then a device for snow removal, which significantly simplifies and speeds up the cleaning process, becomes vitally necessary.
So it is in this case. There is a section of the road about 250m, which is not cleared by the city administration, because... The lane belongs to a dacha cooperative. Those. technology does not come here. Constantly calling a tractor is expensive, because... There are times when clearing the road of snow is required several times a week. Accordingly, clearing driveways with a shovel yourself is, at a minimum, labor-intensive and time-consuming. This is where the desire to do homemade device for removing snow from the road.
The photo below shows last year's version.
This homemade snow removal device is attached with a tow rope to the car's towbar and rolled along the road. This “grader” (as we dubbed it), of course, made life much easier last year. After all, clearing the road took only 20 minutes instead of 1.5-2 hours of intense physical work. But unfortunately, this option has its drawbacks.
So, let’s talk about what the “grader” doesn’t like about this model. Weight and shape are the two parameters that together reduce its performance parameters. He shovels snow - that's a fact. But due to its small mass and its design, when a certain amount of snow accumulates, it begins to rise, as a result of which the snow is partially collected and partially rolled. As a result, the road level is rising, which can become a problem in the spring when it warms up. This kind of clearing of snow from the road is not the best the best option! To eliminate such a problem, someone heavy has to stand on it (I usually played this role with my child, and my wife was driving the car) and, when collecting a certain amount of snow, constantly stop and throw away the collected pile with a shovel.
This year it was decided to improve the snow removal device. Those. try to ensure that snow removal from the road is carried out without unnecessary stops and without additional involvement manual labor in the form of discarding the collected heaps. And for this, based on a little thought, our snow clearing device must satisfy several requirements:
- Snow should be cleared away and not piled up. To achieve a similar effect, the “grader version 2.0” must be made in the shape of a wedge.
- The weight of the “grader version 2.0” must be sufficient so that it does not lift above the snow when moving. To do this, again, you can provide a place for a heavy person.
- Try to save money and spend a minimum of money on production.
Let's start with the choice of materials. Initially planned to buy wooden blocks 50x50, from which to make a frame. Next, cover this frame with plywood and begin operation. But one day, turning my gaze to my site, I saw that there were several Euro pallets from building blocks and a bunch of pieces of wood from a dismantled barn. And the thought came to me that wooden pallet– this is a frame ready for covering. In addition, renting them out for 50 rubles apiece is not profitable, because... it will cost more to get them to the collection point on gasoline. If you buy them, you will only have to spend 100 rubles apiece. We only need 4 pieces. Those. 400 rubles. This is the same money that will be needed to buy the bars, only you will still need to make a frame from them. Summarizing all of the above, I note that I didn’t have to buy anything. Those. The savings are colossal.
Now directly about the manufacture of a device with the help of which removing snow from the road should become as simple and fast as possible. First of all, we sew the Euro pallets together in pairs.
The pallets have the following dimensions 1.2m by 1m and 1.2m by 0.8m. I ended up with a pair of each type. The height of the side of the future grader of 0.8 m and 1 m is too much, and the mass of the entire structure will be too large. So I shortened them a little.
Next, prepare a block or board with a length equal to the width of the road clearing. Those. Clearing the road of snow will be carried out for a certain width of the roadway. For me it is 2.1 m. This is exactly the length of the board chosen. After this, we install panels from pallets in the form of a wedge, trying to align the front of the future grader. So that they do not diverge, they can be secured to each other with a self-tapping screw or nail. Now we take the prepared board and fix it to both shields at the back of the grader.
Next, we install several more connecting bars in the middle. This is where Euro pallet scraps come in handy. They can be sewn to strengthen the position of the shields relative to each other and at the same time get a good seat for the weighting material.
So we have a rigid structure that can withstand good loads. Now we need to sheathe it. Plywood or stainless steel sheets are suitable for this. But, again, in order to save money, you can look around in search of suitable ones, but already unnecessary materials. These turned out to be scraps of metal tiles. They covered the frame with them
The last step left is to make the “ears” to which the cable will cling. To do this, I used Soviet-made pens from some old door. By the way, they were on the previous version of the grader. As for the level of installation of the “ears”. They should be mounted at the same height as the tow bar of your car. If they are lower, then the front will ride up when moving. If it is higher, then the rear of the grader will lift up. In any of these two cases, high-quality clearing of the road from snow will not work.
Here, in fact, the device for removing snow is ready. It doesn't look the best, of course, but it performs its tasks properly. You can hook the grader to the car and get to work. Removing snow from the road using a grader like this is an economical, quick and easy solution.
Below is a video in which you can see the process of clearing the road of snow with such a device and the result of the work done.
Winter, after the autumn slush and the dirty gray inhospitable surface of the earth, recently covered with grass, pleases us with the first snow and brightened streets. Children do not crawl out of the snowdrifts, and babies look in surprise at the white flakes continuously falling to the ground, at their faces and small palms...
Fiskars snow shovel 
But not everyone is not always happy about snow. Time will pass and not only the wipers in the morning, but also we, in a hurry going to work, will curse and grumble: “Well, where did so much snow come from?” And dream of having such a miracle snow shovel that would, without much difficulty, remove everything right down to the asphalt. But, alas, they have not yet invented a shovel-bulldozer so that each wiper is motorized. And that’s why simple homemade plywood shovels with a tin edge are still in use, and craftsmen are still thinking about new ideas for hand shovels for snow removal.
In the meantime, we see various new plastic shovels that can generally be used comfortably to capture large volumes of snow.
Garden tools and other products in this Chinese store.
A lightweight snow shovel is quite convenient, but if your strength allows, it is better to buy a regular Fiskars snow shovel. It is equipped with a wide bucket made of plastic, so it is quite lightweight. To strengthen the edge of the Fiskars snow shovel bucket, a steel blade is attached. The tool is quite practical; it can be used to clean large areas without getting tired, since the weight of the shovel is a little more than 1 kg.
Manual scraper Fiskars 143000 in video review
Another device that is even more productive is the Fiskars 143000 manual snow scraper. The model is in demand as it allows you to immediately grab a wide strip of snow and push out snow drifts. The weight of the scraper is 1.52 kg, the width of the bucket is 53 cm. Look at the video and evaluate how convenient the snow scraper is to use.
Plow for clearing snow from areas by hand
A more advanced means of small-scale mechanization for cleaning is a manual snow blade from the Kobzarenka Plant company from Ukraine. This, one might say, is a manual excavator; a person pushes the bucket of such an excavator, and to facilitate his work, the friction force is reduced with the help of wheels.
Characteristics of a manual snow blower:
Blade: metal sheet 2 mm, dimensions LxW 1000x400 mm with a rubber plate at the bottom.
Pen: T-shape(pipe DN 20x2.8 mm with two rubber handles)
Chassis: axle made of pipe DN 15x2.5 equipped with two pneumatic wheels measuring 260x85mm
The design of the blade provides the ability to adjust the angle of the working surface.
In the video, a manual snow removal blade from the Kobzarenka Plant company is in operation.
A slightly unusual snow shovel “Sno Wovel”
Foreigners have come up with a somewhat strange, innovative shovel on a wheel for clearing snowdrifts. It's called “Sno Wovel”. It can easily be classified as a snow miracle shovel, because like its summer counterparts, it is designed to help relieve the back from stress and injuries. Well, since a lever is used, by applying a little effort, you can pick up large volumes of snow with a shovel and carry them and even throw them away. Manufacturers estimate that the required force is reduced by 80 percent thanks to the lever system and wheel. Like riding a bicycle, we travel a long distance, and we are several times less tired than walking.
Technical features of the shovel.
Weight: 19.5 kg;
Total length: 188 cm;
Height adjustment;
Tire diameter: 89 cm;
Scoop width: 66 cm.
Overall dimensions for storage and transportation: 86 cm x 20 cm x 50 cm
Look how cute the child laughs as he looks at his dad deftly handling this excavator
Scraper on wheels Snow Bully
Another one interesting model snow scraper on wheels costing $250-300.
This Snow Bully 4 Wheel Scraper is even more convenient, but the price is unreasonably high.
The video shows Snow Bully in action. It seems to be very comfortable to work on and can double as a cart in the summer.
With the onset of winter, the demand for snow removal equipment for the home increases significantly. Particularly appreciated are removable devices that can be used in conjunction with mini tractors and walk-behind tractors. Some do-it-yourselfers also put up their devices for mechanized snow removal for sale on various sites, exchanges and message boards. Let's talk about how to make a snow blower for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands.
- study the design and operating principle of known machines for mechanized snow removal;
- decide on the type of snow removal attachment for the walk-behind tractor, which you can make yourself;
- find working drawings or develop them yourself;
- work out the technology and procedure for performing work;
- purchase or prepare tools for the manufacture of parts and assemblies;
- collect materials and components for the future snow blower.
Tools for making your own snow removal equipment
Any work can only be done if you have a tool, so it is advisable to have:
- electric drill - without it it is impossible to make holes of a given diameter in the right places;
- riveter - will help create strong permanent connections in sheet material;
- electric welding machine - required for welding the frame, as well as individual units;
- angle grinder - will be used for cutting steel workpieces, as well as cleaning welded joints;
- metal scissors;
- measuring tool - used to mark and control the parameters of parts, as well as the entire snow blower (usually a caliper, tape measure and ruler are sufficient);
- hand tools for fixing parts and temporary fasteners - will allow you to perform work efficiently and with minimal costs strength;
- a slipway - even the simplest one, made of wooden blocks, will help simplify the assembly process; the design of the snow blower has a spatial structure that needs to be assembled, fixing individual parts and assemblies in different places.
Types of devices for mechanized snow removal
Mechanical homemade snow blowers are equipped with internal combustion engines. Most often they are mounted (trailer attachments), they are mounted on walk-behind tractors or tractors, including mini tractors. They are distinguished by their low weight and simple design.
Based on their operating principle, snow removal machines are divided into:
- auger-rotor devices having two types of active bodies: an auger or augers that move the snow to the inlet of the rotor, and the rotor itself, which throws the snow in the desired direction;
- dump grader or bulldozer type - operate on the principle of mechanical movement of snow mass, more often similar devices used on self-propelled vehicles;
- blade shovel, used in conjunction with walk-behind tractors to move snow in a confined space;
- air-fan units - applicable only on freshly fallen snow, they differ quite small in size and extremely simple device, snow removal occurs due to the created air flow.
The most widespread are auger-rotary snow blowers. They cope well with snow cover different sizes. Sometimes problems arise with compacted snow, so expensive units also have an auxiliary shaft with spikes that destroy compacted snow. In some devices, the augers are equipped with additional removable toothed attachments; they cut through a dense mass of snow.
Features of an air rotary snow blower
The simplest snow blower is based on an air-rotor action. This is usually a box that can be moved on small skis across the snow. There is a rotor inside. The drive to the rotor is carried out from an autonomous engine or from the power take-off shaft of a walk-behind tractor.
The receiving part of the box is designed so that when moving forward, snow flows onto the rotor blades. Next, the mass is thrown out by rotating blades through a pipe located above. Its deflector can be directed in any direction. Therefore, the snow is thrown to the left or to the right, where required in a particular case.
The peculiarity of the device is that, in addition to snow, a fairly powerful air flow is formed. Therefore, a snow-air mixture is formed at the exit, which can fly up to 5-6 m. This is often enough to clear the passages.
The disadvantages of air-ventilated snow blowers include a relatively narrow grip, as well as the impossibility of removing snow in the presence of compacted mass. When clearing passages immediately after snow has fallen, a snow thrower of this type differs quite high performance. Do-it-yourselfers quite often take a similar design as a basis. The main thing is to create a high rotor speed.
Blade shovel - the simplest snow blower
In some cases, it is not necessary to have a complex unit consisting of a walk-behind tractor and supports on wheels, equipped with a bulldozer shovel. It is enough to have a mechanical assistant - which will move the mass of snow over a short distance.
A special shovel is attached to the walk-behind tractor, and then only due to the traction force created by the walk-behind tractor, the snowball moves to the side. Using reverse gear shifting, the snow blower moves back. Consecutive movements forward and backward clear the area of snow.
When moving forward, the snow shovel goes down; when moving backward, it is raised up. With low snow cover, the efficiency of this working body is quite high.
Snow blower device
A mounted auger snow blower has a metal body with a shaft inside. The shaft has auger blades made of steel sheet of complex shape. The shaft is mounted in bearings, which allows it to rotate.
The rotor is visible inside. Above the rotor there is a rotary pipe. It can be turned in any direction. To attach an auger snow blower, there is a hitch, inside of which the power take-off shaft (PTO) of the walk-behind tractor is located.
Torque is transmitted to actuators. When the auger shaft rotates and moves forward, snow is captured by the blades and moves from the periphery to its center. Snow mass, moving along the screws, it is destroyed, its structure changes, so it will be easy to throw it aside.
From the auger picking mechanism, snow flows onto the rotor blades. Here its translational movement is converted into rotational movement. It receives tangential acceleration and is thrown out through the pipe in a given direction: to the right or to the left in the direction of movement of the snow blower. Here the operator directs the deflector so that the removed snow does not interfere with the work.

Making a rotary auger snow blower for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands
For self-made For a mounted homemade auger snow blower (auger rotor), you need to think about the placement of the main elements of the equipment, as well as link the dimensions to the existing walk-behind tractor. Therefore, first of all, a layout diagram of the device is created.
It is important to develop a mechanism for transmitting torque from the power take-off shaft to the actuating elements of the snow blower.
Necessary materials
To make an auger-rotary snow blower, you need to purchase:
- roofing galvanized sheet, it will be used for the manufacture of auger and rotor housings, as well as a snow ejection pipe with a deflector;
- an equal-field corner of 40 or 50 mm, it will be used to make the frame;
- a sheet of steel 2 mm thick, from which the auger and rotor blades will be cut;
- a profile pipe will be needed to make brackets;
- bearing housings and the bearings themselves for installing the shaft;
- a pipe or circle with an outer diameter of 30 millimeters or more will be used as shafts;
- pulleys, sprockets and other transmission elements;
- hardware for creating detachable connections.
Making a homemade auger-rotary snow blower
An approximate procedure for manufacturing a mounted auger rotor for snow removal:
- Parts of the auger body are cut from roofing sheet. They are bent according to a suitable cylinder. From a rolled corner or profile pipe The frame of the auger body is welded. The body and frame are connected into a single unit.
- Screw parts. To do this, segments are cut out of sheet steel, and then blades are formed from them. The auger shaft must be adjusted to fit the installation of bearings, so lathe the surface is machined to fit the size of the supports, as well as transmission elements. The blades are welded to the shaft, forming an auger converging towards the center.
- The bearing housings and the bearings themselves are installed. The auger element of the snow blower is being assembled.
- The housing of the snow removal rotor is cut out of roofing sheet metal. Using suitable items, the final shaping of the rotor housing is carried out.
- Rotor parts. Rotor blades are cut from sheet steel. The rotor shaft is adjusted to accommodate the installation of bearings and transmission elements. The blades are welded to the rotor shaft.
- Balancing is necessary, since the rotor rotates at a fairly high speed.
- The frame of the rotor housing is welded from a corner or profile pipe. The bearing housings and the bearings themselves are installed. Assembly: the rotor assembly is assembled.
- A homemade frame is made on which the rotor and auger assembly will be placed.
- The working part of the machine is being assembled. Transmission elements are installed.
- Brackets are adjusted to connect the working tool to the walk-behind tractor.
- Bench tests are carried out, based on the results of which defects and shortcomings are determined. After eliminating the shortcomings, they begin testing the auger-rotor type snowblower under operating conditions.
All that remains is to use the manufactured rotary snow blower on the walk-behind tractor for its intended purpose.
