300GD snowplow and sander

Here's something you dont see everyday. That non-turbo motor must do wonders pushing snow in hilly areas.

Re: 300GD snowplow and sander

Actually the power and torque of the 300 NA motor is great in the low range. Where it lacks luster is climbing steep sections of roadway in high range. 88hp is not enough for 5000 lbs of metal. I want to see how they did the PTO power set up. But then I tend to be attracted to things agricultural. Thanks for the link.

There is a version of the 460 transfer case with an integrated PTO.

I bet that spreader did a number on the bed if they were spreading a salt mix. Still, I would love that for my driveway.

Interesting air intake! But i would not put the plow and spreader on my G. Of course, I have the Unimog for that kind of stuff.

In my parts we use one of these...it fits better between the "trailer houses" plus the exhaust will not clog up when backing.
