Amazing what people can do when they feel the need! I would have liked to see more of what those four wheels on the power unit were doing. Seems like no need for four of the wheels unless they are all powered.

This guy is on a Cub Cadet forum I frequent. All 4 rears are powered.

I believe he has made a few other contraptions as well.

Look at the starter on that thing, it could probably drive the whole unit.

That would be the generator, and yes in some cases it's both the generator and the starter.

I'm guessing he's a retired grader operator and the county wouldn't let him keep his machine. That thing is TOO cool. He needs to be on the new show with Tim Allen, "Assembly Required".

I sent that clip to a friend of mine who used to operate a grader for snow removal for the city, he asked if I could build him one. Lol I said if he had enough money I could make the time.

I mean...would this thing have enough weight to actually get that blade a couple of inches into the hard pack? I mean it's cool....and obviously not going to perform better than a machine 3x it's size. I just wonder what the limits on that thing is....because it looks really cool! lol
