You Know You Want One: A Turbo Diesel Snowblower


One awesome thing about a massive Nor’easter: You get to bust out the riding snowblower.


It’s one of those power tools you’ll use a handful of times a year if you’re lucky. But on those rare days when Mother Nature dumps a foot or three of the fluffy stuff, you wake up to something like Christmas morning. Pulverizing those soft white mounds of snow? Talk about good old American fun.


This kid takes us for a ride on his Ventrac diesel tractor with a snowblower attachment. It’s a compact all-wheel drive tractor—pretty badass in its own right—but the snowblower attachment instantly turns this thing into the Batmobile of snow. Seriously, this kid is the hero of his neighborhood. He clears half the driveways on his block. People come out to chit-chat. He’s all smiles. He’s probably swimming in hot cocoa offers.


If you’ve spent over $10,000 on a pro Ventrac rig like this and your part of the world doesn’t get enough snow to meet your fancy, you can still put it to work smashing (and forcefully ejecting) pumpkins.
