Snow blower vehicle and method for improving snow blower vehicle performance

A method of improving snow blower vehicle performance, the snow blower vehicle having a propulsion engine having a propulsion engine controller and a snow blower engine having a snow blower engine controller, comprising:

• determining that the snow blower engine is overloaded and generating a first signal;
• transmitting a first signal to the propulsion engine;
• limiting the output of the propulsion engine in response to receiving the first signal;
• determining that the snow blower engine is not overloaded after the first signal is received by the propulsion engine and generating a second signal;
• transmitting the second signal to the propulsion engine;
• and
• reversing the step of limiting the propulsion engine upon the propulsion engine receiving the second signal.

A snow blower vehicle comprising:

• a truck body;
• a propulsion engine on the truck body for moving the snow blower vehicle, the propulsion engine having an engine controller that controls the operation of the propulsion engine;
• a snow blowing mechanism on the truck body;
• a blower engine on the truck body that is operatively connected to the snow blowing mechanism, a first status signal being transmitted to indicate that the blower engine is overloaded, a second status signal being transmitted to indicate that the blower engine is not overloaded;
• and
• wherein upon the first status signal being transmitted a temporary limitation is imposed on the output of the propulsion engine, and upon the second output signal being transmitted after the temporary limitation on the output of the propulsion engine is imposed causing the temporary limitation to be overridden.
