Gordon_M Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Weight, basically. My MH-Ford snowblower was on a 1.5 ton chassis but the all up weight was nearly seven tons. I once tried to lift the front of it with a five ton bottle jack but it wouldn't shift it. The Klauer SnoGo equipment was heavy, as was the drive engine and power transfer kit. You may find that your FWD will have an extra low speed crawler transfer case too, which will again add to the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 This is what is what it used to look like if it was a snow blower. Like Gordon said, a lot of extra weight up front! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
