Abstract: A cold air blower for removing debris from a ground surface that includes a boom rotatable between multiple operating positions and a stowed position. The boom is mounted to a power unit mounted to the vehicle chassis such that the boom is rotatable between at least a front-facing, operating position and a rear-facing stowed position. The boom includes a top tube and a discharge tube that includes a discharge nozzle. The combination of the top tube and the discharge tube are rotatable about the power unit such that the discharge tube is positioned behind the midpoint of the vehicle chassis in the stowed position. The nozzle on the discharge tube can be operated to automatically and continuously rotate between a first pan position and a second pan position. The boom can be rotated between opposite first and second side positions that extend perpendicular to the vehicle axis in opposite directions.

Abstract: A snowblower assembly for removing snow from a paved surface, such as roadways and airport runways. The snowblower assembly includes a snowblower assembly that defines an open interior that encloses a pair of rotating side augers and a rotating impeller. The snowblower housing includes a lower leading edge that is recessed behind the blade tips of the rotating impeller. The sidewalls of the snowblower housing each include a recessed lower sidewall edge to reduce the buildup of snow within the snowblower housing. A side plate extension is mounted to each of the sidewalls to modify the volume of the open interior defined by the snowblower housing to accommodate different types of snow.

Abstract: A snowblower for removing snow from a paved surface, such as roadways and airport runways. The snowblower includes a blower assembly having a blower housing that encloses a pair of rotating side augers and a rotating impeller. The blower housing includes an upper hood. The upper hood is angled from a trailing edge to a leading edge such that the angled upper hood provides enhanced visibility of the operator of the snowblower. Each of the side augers is driven by a hydrostatic drive motor that is positioned above the upper hood to remove the drive motors from within the open interior of the blower housing. The drive motors are driven from a power source separate from the power source used to rotate the impeller. The lower, leading edge of the blower housing includes a V-shaped lower edge to further enhance the direction of snow into the blower housing.
