You guys recognize this Snow Gate? Maybe know who makes these ?? Thanks
Almost looks homemade. The square blocks with the holes in them don't look like how a factory gate would be made. Edit Saw an add for an old Champion 740 with a snow gate. Could only see from the outside but the slotted holes on the bottom and the bolts at the top looked similar. It was on Kijiji Alberta Hammerstrap Industries.
Double post
Yeah Dave this one has been beefed up like most any one you find like this design. They get beat up I have 4 of them and they seem to have all come from Canada but there’s no markings on them anywhere
I haven't seen one listed as made by Champion but there could be a (Canadian) maker of attachments that made them for Champion. A place like Weldco Beales or Craig, etc.
It doesn't look like it would take much abuse compared to something like this. https://www.craigattachments.com/products/grader/snow-gear/universal-snow-gate/
I'm sure they've been beefed up over the years.
Looks like this could be it, or pretty similar Briggs Machine & Fabrication: Our Products & Services Information about the products and services offered by Brigg's Machine and Fabrication, Spokane, Washington. briggsmachine.com http://briggsmachine.com/photos/IMG_1443.JPG http://briggsmachine.com/photos/IMG_1442.JPG
That looks very similar.
I couldn't imagine using one. In a city, it would be worn out in one winter. Hope they oiled that Volvo up good. Mine only plowed a couple winters, and the paint is terrible. Faded and rusted.
I wonder if a stiff rubber edge would last longer than a steel edge? Doesn't really need down pressure just has to hold the windrow back for 15' or so.
Just imagine how many times it would go up and down in a city
Sometimes they have a skid steer come behind the graders here. For rural roads snow gates would be great. Would be nice if the operator could just push a button and the gate automatically dropped into position instead of having to hold a switch or pull a lever.
Sub division where I live. I'm in an area outside the city, so the lots are a bit bigger. In this short stretch, you would have to open and close the gate 42 times
The area where I grew up, Imagine the opening and closing here.
I live in a similar type area. They have a couple skid steers come by after to clear the windrow across driveways. If the snow gate was fast wouldn't be that big of a deal. You can't go very fast in a city anyway.
