A good flat head can do that....
Hi Phil
A good running flat head in a M37 in low range...first gear is very slow.... engine would have enough power to run the blower and the drivetrain. No different than my Massey with a 7 foot wide blower driven by the PTO.... that poor little 4 cyl Perkins at 45 BHP can handle it quite well as long as you stay in low gear. On heavy snow storm like you got in October I can actually stall out the engine if I try to cut over 20 inches of wet snow........ the secret is you raise the blower 6 inches of the ground and make two passes. In the Ottawa area it was quite common to have a plow on a Dodge M series using the winch to raise the plow...... made for very heavy steering and hard to make sharp turns but they did push a lot of snow....ideal plow was made from a section of boiler plate cut to take advantage of the curved plate. Hey so far... Ottawa is as green as ....... well you know !! Bob
