Business opportunity

 

Seen along the north shore of the StLawrence river. past Tadoussac.

  Just the thing for a firewood business!  More than just for work, unhook that laboursaving trailer/grapple thingy and cut loose with that industrial snow machine.

Where does the operator sit/stand/crouch?

Looking at the full-size middle picture I see what looks like a little cab area to the right of the engine/hydraulic pump, and in the third picture I see what looks like a seat to the right and behind the pump unit. Someone sitting there would be under the sheet-metal "roof" section and somewhat protected.

I personally wouldn't trust the cylinders enough to leave it parked with the dump body up like that.

Thank you and holy cats: the thing is much bigger than I had supposed!

I like the thoughtful addition of a roof rack to help carry luggage, tent, and fishing rods for muti-day vacations in the bush when not toiling at the heating fuels trade.

The seat is deep in the middle, behind the accessory hydraulic pump, the machine is quite small. A variation of the machine (Bombardier SW48) was common as a sidewalk plow in the early seventies. I think with practice, the rollbar may allow 360 degree forward rollovers.
