Screw snow blower for power tiller with his own hands

Types of snow blowers for power tillers

In order to properly make a snowplow yourself, you need to distinguish their type and operating principle of each of them.

Rotary snow blower

Rotary snow blowers are considered the most powerful among the entire range of snow blowers offered. Machines of this type can throw snow at a distance of more than 12 meters. Read how to make a rotary snow blower.

Homemade rotary snow thrower for the tiller. a metal box with an auger shaft located in it. The rotating shaft is considered the main working mechanism of the snow blower.

As additional auxiliary devices in the manufacture of the mechanism will need controls and clutch, as well as some spare parts drive. Read about snow blower parts here.

The rotary snow blower for the tiller begins to move only through the work of the shaft of the tiller itself, the torque of which transmits its energy through special adapters. These adapters are available at all gardening equipment dealerships.

The principle of this mechanism is to capture and move the snow into the mouth of the machine through the work of an auger rotor device. Possibility of work of such device is received at the expense of flexible connection of two shafts by means of a strong belt.

Another important mechanism in the design is the impeller, which is necessary for throwing the snow mass through a special hole, led to the top.

The shaft is a piece of pipe, around which a toothed unit. a screw. moves in a spiral. In order to maintain a constant torque, and hence to produce work efficiently, the shaft is mounted on bearings.

Toothed auger is made of metal in the form of equal and equidistant from each other blades. At the bottom, to the bottom of the shovel is attached a plate with a sharp edge for cutting the snow.

Here you will find several articles on different dozer models. There you can compare their characteristics and prices. Here is a description of the T170.

T130. a multifunctional machine that can be used as a tractor, all-terrain vehicle, excavator.

The B10m bulldozer with increased capacity has been produced at the Chelyabinsk plant since 2004.

Bulldozer type snowplow (with blade). drawing

Snowplow with a dozer blade is a single-axle tractor with a special adapter, to which the attachment is attached in the form of a homemade blade. The blade is the main working body of this type of snowplow. Skilled handymen can make an adapter for a power tiller with their own hands.

To make the blade plate uses a sharp metal sheet, with which the snow layer is cut and tilted.

Blade parts are made of steel and then welded together with a welder. To the bottom of the mouldboard a blade is welded. Use bars and brackets to attach the moldboard to the power tiller. Traction mechanisms are held in the holes of the moldboard and are attached to the controls through tubes.

The fan-blade snowblower consists of the following mechanisms:

• Drum and bearing.
• Impeller.
• Blades. Located along the axis of rotation.
• Blades welded to the drum.
• Sheet steel bucket.

With the help of a torque transmission system the drum axle is connected to the engine shaft.

The snow mass enters the box, moving strictly along the guides to the blades, which eject it outward.

Self-made snow thrower from the engine from a power tiller

Let’s find out how to assemble a screw snow thrower on the basis of the power tiller with your own hands.

Snow blowers made by well-known companies are not cheap, and not everyone can afford to buy such equipment. Undoubtedly, a snow thrower in the Russian climate is a very useful machine, but is it worth paying tens of thousands for a machine, which, in any case, will be used occasionally?

Preparing the scheme and materials for making a single-stage snow thrower

Properly assemble the snow thrower will help the scheme shown in the photo. Use it to prepare the material you need for work and cut out blanks from it. So, let’s deal with each element of the design in order:

Hydraulic powered snow blowers, not all they’re cracked up to be.

• Usually, a homemade snow thrower is made width of 50 cm. For its effective work you need any motor with power of at least 1 kW.
• The body of the snowplow is bent from a sheet of steel 1-2 mm thick. The sides can be laminated with 10 mm thick plywood. However, keep in mind that this part of the body bears the main load. The rotor itself with bearings is mounted on the side shelves. It is best to make them out of metal or thick textolite, too.
• The shaft is the base of the auger. For its manufacture you can take a metal pipe with a diameter of 20 mm. Throwing blades are cut from 5 mm thick sheet steel or a piece of channel shank. The blades are best made of 2 mm thick sheet metal. Sometimes they are made from 10 mm thick conveyor belt or cut out of an old car tire. Two pins should be turned on the axle. The bearings are suitable for 03 or 205. Under them you need to find two hubs, which will be bolted to the side shelves of the snow blower body. The auger is driven by a belt or chain. Depending on your choice, you will need a pulley or sprocket. Bearings for the auger will only fit the closed type.
• The snow thrower frame is assembled from a metal angle. If the design is not hinged on a single-axle tractor and acts as a machine, the frame provides a place to install the engine. U-shaped handle is bent out of a pipe with a diameter of 15-20 mm.
• Arm for diverting snow can be made from 150 mm diameter PVC pipe or bent from galvanized steel.

To the auger snow blower can move easily in the snow, it is put on skis. They can be made from a metal angle, wrapping the edges up or cut wooden skids from a thick board.

Recommendations for operating a power tiller with a snowplow

Regardless of whether you have chosen to buy a snow blower for a power tiller, or use a homemade device, there is a set of rules that are recommended for working with equipment of this type. Adhering to them, you can not only extend the life of the device, but also avoid many dangerous situations:

• Before starting work, be sure to conduct a thorough inspection of the surface on which you plan to clear the snow. Otherwise, along with the snow, foreign objects may get into the mechanism, which will lead to a breakdown. In addition, by throwing away such an object at a decent distance, the snowthrower can cause damage to someone’s property or health;
• Be sure to take care of your own safety: clothes should be comfortable, in season, without long parts that can get into the moving mechanism. To the choice of shoes also need to approach responsibly. it should not slip. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to use the snow blower without first wearing protective goggles;
• If any unforeseen situation arises, first of all turn off the unit completely. Only begin fixing the problem if you are sure the snow blower is off;

Observe safety precautions and techniques when using the snow blower

• The snowblower attachment on the power tiller is designed to work on relatively flat surfaces. Do not use it on climbs or slopes that are too steep;
• according to safety rules, the distance to be observed in the work, on the side of the snow throw, is 10 m. Check that there are no people, cars, etc. in this area while clearing the snow.д;
• When working with wet, slightly thawed snow, be sure to take breaks in operation to make sure no part of the snow blower is clogged with snow.

If you follow all of these rules, a rotary snow blower for a power tiller can be considered a safe device. The main thing to remember is that such devices do not tolerate haste and fuss. If you decide to shovel snow, allow enough time for this, and approach this task as responsibly as possible.

As you can see, the annual need to clear snow can become less tedious at quite affordable costs. Depending on your desires and abilities, you can buy a snow blower from the manufacturer, or make it yourself. Either way, it will make your job a lot easier and allow you to spend a lot less time cleaning snow than it would take to do it manually.

Design and Diagram of a Snowblower

Before you start constructing the machine, you need to prepare calculations and drawings. Preparation will be easier to carry out if you have a clear idea of the visual image, the principle of the unit and its operation.

How a snowplow with an auger attachment works:

The front part of the plow consists of a huge bucket with a funnel that collects large amounts of snow. There are two conveyor screws inside. this is the auger (see “The screws”). here how to make it yourself), which move the accumulated mass into the pump. Each screw consists of blades that rotate around the screw.

As soon as the motor is running, the blades begin to rotate. Each rotation cuts sharp jagged edges into the snow, then a second sharp blade replaces it.

The main functions of the rotating transporters and screws are as follows:

The conveyors have a trick. they are angled to the pump, allowing them to bring the snow to the pump. With the rapid rotation of the screw, the snow mass is blown outward at high speed and is carried by a pressure of air over a great distance.

At the bottom of the “shovel” is attached a trim plate.

If your all-purpose machine includes an air-cooled electric motor, the air intake needs to be secured against accidental contact between the electric part and the wet snow.

• Buy, or use an available, motor-block engine. For example, Honda brands (requirements: 6.5 liters per second; auto transmission; gear ratio);
• Prepare a plastic pipe, preferably sewage pipe, with a diameter of 16 cm;
• A roofing iron will be needed;
• Plywood is useful (thickness.10 mm);
• Half-inch pipe;
• Steel Angle;
• The pipe should be sized ѕ inch;
• The steel plate must be equal to 120270 mm;
• A drill jig for drilling holes;
• The rear wheel axle.
• Check the sliding bearings on the size of the pipe. If the tube turns out to be wider than the inner ring, it can be turned on the machine.

The total width of the homemade machine is approximately 65 cm (the width of the grab is 50 cm), which is convenient for storage.

The compact size of the snowplow allows for greater maneuverability and clears snow from even the narrowest of paths.

To convert a power tiller into a bulldozer

The simplest homemade snowplow for a motorblock is considered a blade. The shovel is a hinge. It is attached to the trailing bracket on the frame of the machine, which results in a small bulldozer. The blade is equipped with a mechanism that allows you to change the angle of rotation of the shovel to move the snow mass to the side.

Make such a snowplow on a single-axle tractor with their own hands can be made from a piece of pipe diameter of 270 mm or an old gas cylinder. To do this, mark the workpiece along the lines so that there are three segments. One of the elements is cut with an angle grinder, and then rods and a trailing mechanism are welded on the back.

how the blade works is simple. As the snowplow moves forward, the shovel rakes the snow cover. And since it is installed at an angle, the snow is evenly shifted to the side of the road. If the snow blower needs to return to the starting position, the blade is lifted and the rear speed is turned on. To continue cleaning, the shovel is lowered back to the ground and moved forward in first gear.

How to make a snowplow for a power tiller with his own hands drawings

To make it easier to cope with the snowblower, the width of this design is 50 cm. A good size for sweeping garden paths in the winter. In order to make the snowthrower could start in a garage or shed through the door, the overall width should be 60-65 cm.

Roofing iron was used for making the auger’s body. The sides are made of plywood (10 mm). In the manufacture of the frame used metal angles (50×50). Handle made of half-inch pipe. Auger shaft is made of pipe (3/4″). In the tube, in the middle, a through cut is made to install the metal plate (120×270 mm). When the shaft will rotate, this plate will start to flip the snow.

To the plate, the snow will move due to the two-entry auger made from the conveyor belt. Also, four rubber rings are attached to special plates.

The bearings are mounted on the tube. If the inside diameter of the bearing is smaller than the outside diameter of the pipe, then the pipe should be ground a little. You can see from the drawing that the bearings are adapters.

To build the auger you need 1.5 m of conveyor belt. A thickness of 10 mm is desirable. From it you need to cut 4 rings, which diameter should be 28 cm. To do this you can use two screws screwed into a board and rotate the strip in a circle. Or use an electric jigsaw.

Use self-aligning sealed bearings to turn the auger 205. Bearings should be sealed to avoid ingress of snow.

If you have a motor from a power tiller with a pulley installed in the design, then the auger will be driven by a belt or chain. Pulleys, belts and bearings needed for this are available from hardware stores. In idle mode, the auger rotation speed reaches 800 rpm.

Provides a safety pin to prevent ice from getting into the auger. When the auger jams, it will shear off. If belt drive is used, the pin will be an additional safety feature, allowing the belt to slip.

To do this, the engine mount is made quick-release, so you don’t have to use a tool when repositioning. The process of clearing snow from the snow blower, will be much easier if the engine is removed. Because the main weight of the snowblower is the weight of the engine.

General information

The snow blower is attached to the shaft of the power tiller, which transmits its rotation from the engine. While driving over the area, the installed auger crushes the snow into pieces. The airstream from the blower blows the mass off in a selected direction. Efficiency of operation depends on the density and wetness of the snow cover. The range and angle of the spreader is adjusted during operation. Simple attachments in the form of conventional buckets and brushes are developed for small precipitation.

The single-axle tractor is a mobile power machine of universal action based on a single-axle chassis, which has the appearance of a small tractor. The operator follows the machine across the surface to be worked, holding the moving mechanism by the control knobs.

Snow blower for power tiller Salyut

The attachments for this brand remove snow from flat areas and operate at outside temperatures up to.10°C.20 ˚С. The mechanism is available in several versions, which differ in how it is attached to the power tiller.

The snowplow on a single-axle tractor is factory assembled by welding, the working element is an auger in the form of a screw. Its rotation helps to move the snow mass to the center from the edges, then to the nozzle with movable blades. A pivoting screen is designed to adjust the ejection. The snow removal height is adjusted by the side plates.

Characteristics of the mechanism:

• length. 60 cm, height. 83 cm, width. 65 cm;
• grabs a 0.5 m wide swath;
• removes snow up to 18 cm in thickness
• Speed of rotation is 2100 per minute;
• weight of the device. 61 kg.

Attachment to the Neva mini tractor

The design is a welded frame with a rotating auger located inside. It is connected to the shaft by a coupling mechanism, the rotation is received from the drive. Blades are assembled blades or helical belts, fixed by welding, the snow is removed through the sleeve. Attachments on a single-axle tractor are available in three varieties, which can be attached to power tillers of other brands.

The technical data varies depending on the model:

• width of the passage. 56-70 cm;
• the maximum thickness of the snow drift. 17-20 cm;
• snow jet ejection. to 8 or 5 m;
• The weight of the nozzle is 55-60 kg;
• the travel speed is 2-4 m/m.

Step by step instruction

Assembling a homemade snow thrower begins with making the frame. It is made of pipes of small diameter or corners. Average size. 50×70 centimeters, but you should consider the size of the power unit and the parameters of the bucket, which is usually 50×30 centimeters.

The next step is to make an auger. The list of materials needed for this includes:

• A pipe, in the center of which a blade with a length of 270 millimeters and a width of 120 millimeters is located. The blade is made of three-millimeter steel.
• Transporter belt with a length of 1.5 meters and a thickness of 1 centimeter for making screws. Rings with a diameter of 28 centimeters are cut from the conveyor belt with an electric jigsaw.
• It is possible to replace the conveyor belt with steel. The screw is cut from a steel sheet, welded and bent by hand.
• Bearings designed to provide rotation of the shaft.
• Bearing plugs to prevent jamming.

Detailed instructions on how to make an auger for a snow blower with your own hands are as follows:

The base of the future auger is the shaft, which is a ¾ pipe. In the center of the shaft there is a blade or a metal plate. It is fitted either through a through-hole or by welding to the shaft.

The snow shovel functions in the following way: when the snow shovel rotates, it throws snow which is directed by the auger to the center of the snow shovel. It is also where the ends of the auger are attached to this blade or plate.

You will find all the information about the technical characteristics of the ZIL 130 dump truck in this article.

The snow is fed to the plate with the help of a two-start auger. Independently it is easier to make it from the conveyor belt. To do this, four rings are cut out with a jigsaw, and some craftsmen work the way of two screws in the board, four rings.

Next, the rings are attached to special plates.

If it is decided to use steel instead of conveyor belt, there are only two options. The first is to make rings for the auger in the factory. You will have to pay extra, but it is worth it for the quality.

Or the second option is used. A strip of metal is bent with a special wrench, and then welded to the shaft. If the choice of material has settled on steel, then to obtain the balance you need a ready-made landing place, an angle grinder and the auger itself.

The installed part is cranked until the amount of metal removed by the angle grinder is sufficient to obtain an acceptable balance. By following this link you can learn about the possibility of assembling a snowthrower from an angle grinder with your own hands.

Assembly begins with welding the metal angles. Then the middle and end parts of the frame, which are located across the frame, are supplemented with metal profiles. When the base for the removable platform is prepared, the handle is made.

It is cut from ½ inch pipe and secured with M8 bolts. This is how the removable platform itself is formed, on which the engine will be located. Next you need to make and install:

• Bucket for gripper is made from a sheet of roofing iron. The sides. plywood ten millimeters.
• The element of the emission of incoming snow. a piece of PVC pipe with a cross section of 160 millimeters. Great suit sewer pipe.
• After installing the ejection element, the drive shaft with the plate and attached augers is placed in the right place.
• Good rotation is provided by bearings, the best closed type 205.
• Wouldn’t hurt to have a protective sleeve. Older machines do it with the aid of a car gimbal. The best stuff to share a “kopeck” or Zhiguli all the way up to the seventh model.
• A transfer belt connects the shaft and the platform-mounted motor.
• Guide skids or, as they are also called, skis. It is best to use for the manufacture of bars with plastic pads.

You may have already noticed that before you assemble the device with your own hands will have to work a lot, and if you have already changed your mind, you can buy a snowthrower CMI 163, which has a relatively low price.
