Default Snowblower transport

I just finished building my snowblower transporter. I needed a way to move this monster around. I took it for a test drive and it seems very secure. I just don't know how legal it is. Oh well.

Ben,

As long as that thing doesn't fall off, I think you are going to be alright. That is one fine machine, glad we don't need those way down here

Very clever of you to build that! This is the first time I have ever seen one. Thanks for sharing and let us know if it isn't legal lol.

Looks good, I have seen things like that for wheel chairs. Should hold up well. Good Job

Ben,
While my parents were alive I used to transport my snow blower that way all the time. as long as the tail lights ar not blocked and you have the reflectors on it you should be fine.
I do have a suggestion, get a good quality cover for it because the salt from the roads will destroy the snow blower or at least corrode it very quickly.
Mine was a mess after one season.

Just keep an eye on the area where the hitch mounts to the frame. you are putting a lot more leverage on that hitch than a heavy trailer would. The same type of platforms for wheel chairs can do a lot of damage to the vehicle.
