Crazy machine. Gallery.....The Original V8 Snowblower

But from all I could find, it looks like it needs more development in both the traction and blower blade areas:

It doesn't look to impressive. This one looks a lot more impressive.

does this prove that sometimes there is a replacement for displacement? ;) I stumbled on that one, too, as I was looking for more info on the V8 blower. It sure kicks up a hurricane of snow as it's plowing!

Now you're just talking like a guy with a big turbo! yeah, it looked like one of those snowmaking machines on a ski slope.
