9.6.3 Operating snow cutter head
The Snowbob’s cutter head has an operational width of 80 cm and a clearance height of 56
cm. In cooperation with Parker, an electro-hydraulic suction device has been developed,
allowing the cutter head to be tilted at angles from -30mm to +200 mm. Moving the cutter
head from its nethermost to its uppermost position takes less than 5 seconds.

When, during the snow-clearing operation, one wants to go into reverse, it is recommended
that the cutter head be lifted up.
Releasing the cutter head
There is also an option to release the cutter head. This is
achieved using the lever (1) that is mounted on the cutter
head in the vicinity of the electro-hydraulic suction device.
The cutter head then rests on the skid shoes and follows the
surface of the ground. This means that the operator no longer
has to continuously adjust the cutter head with the joystick.
This is very handy if snow has to be cleared on a car park
where the surface is smooth or slightly sloping.
Caution:
• The movement of the cutter is limited if this function is used. Be aware of
this!
• The cutter head may not be released at locations with an undulating surface.
This would increase the risk of damaging the cutter if it were to encounter a
foreign object.
