I just read your article about truck mounted snow blowers hoping to get some expert advice. In your first paragraph you say; "Drawing power from the vehicle engine" then you go on to say; "With its 2-cylinder, 4-cycle, 27-horsepower gas engine". That seems a little confusing to me, but when I visited other web sites I discovered that it does in fact run off of it's own engine and draws NO power from the vehicle at all.
Another paragraph goes like this; "A truck-mounted snow blower weighs 800 pounds. Your truck or SUV must weigh at least half a ton, preferably ¾ or a full ton, to support its weight." Do you really think that a half ton truck WEIGHS a half ton, 1000 LBS, only two hundred pounds more than the snowblower?
And yet another paragraph; "Truck-mounted snow blowers take their power from the vehicle engine. All the controls are wired into the truck cab, including the electric key start, choke, throttle," wouldn't the remote key start, choke, and throttle indicate to you a separate engine from the one in the truck? That's TWICE in the same article that you actullay refer to the engine on the snowblower and STILL say it draws power from the vehicle engine.
And finally here is the part that really slays me; "EzineArticles.com/?expert=Ross_Bainbridge" Just what the hell are you an expert on? I doubt seriously if you have ever even seen one of these snowblowers! You damn sure don't know anything about trucks or snowblowers. Your article was nothing but a waste of my time and has certainly misled anyone that has ever read it. And we find all of this crap written by an EXPERT at a site called "SNOWBLOWER GUIDE"!! What a joke!
