Snow Blowers for Trucks
50Snow blowers for trucks can be lifesavers for those of us living in heavy winter areas. They can safe time, help us get out and about, and make us mighty popular with our neighbors. Blowers are recommended for rural use or in areas where you need not worry about blown snow blocking driveways, covering sidewalks, or burying pets.
If you live in a rural, urban, or suburban area a snow blower affixed to your truck can be just the ticket to battle the snow Mother Nature dishes out. When the snowplow doesn’t reach out to your home or neighborhood, being the owner of an affixed blower can really put you on the map.
A lot of folks make an honest living blowing snow during the winter months. Currently, the best blower is made by Hanson. They have a long history after pioneering the first truck attached blower in the 1980s. Comparable brands include Myers, Western, and Fisher. These brands stem from Hanson.
When you’re searching for the best snow blowers for trucks, you cannot go wrong with a Hanson or any of the three brands they produce. Their blowers are efficient and heavy-duty.
They can weigh upwards to 800lbs. and blow snow 40ft. out while cutting 7ft. swaths of snow. The best models will have 2-cylinders, 4-cycles, and up to 27 horsepower engines.
Most Hanson blowers are contracted for roadwork. They are specifically designed to get to the hard to reach places in isolated locations. Many contactors who blow snow for a living during the winter trust a Hanson, Myers, Western, or Fisher blower to reach vacation cabins, mountain retreats, ski resorts, and long narrow driveways that would otherwise be buried until the spring thaw.
Pay special attention to snow blowers for trucks that boast six dual-stage self-propelled snow blowers. These blowers are incredibly versatile and efficient. Blowers with small gas powered engines will have controls that feed directly into the cab.
These can be more difficult to properly hook up and operate, but might fit your needs better—especially if you are contracting for the winter. Be sure your truck is up to the task of pushing the blower by weighing about one full ton.
