We get lots of snow where I live. I'm often clearing a foot or more of snow
using a 10.5 hp, 30-inch wide, 24-inch tall unit. I've recently been offered a
similar unit with a blown engine, and I'm toying with the idea of trying to
make it electric. It seems that battery electric snowblowers on the market
only go up to 21-inch width and low horsepower, so really not big enough for my
needs.
So I guess I'm asking a few things:
1) Is this even a feasible project
2) If so, anyone have suggestions on how to proceed (for example,
shunt motor vs. series motor, etc.)
3) Any pitfalls I need to look out for (for example, the gasoline
blower has a governor on the engine--do I need something similar)
4) Anything else I'm not thinking of
Thanks,
Bill
