back to the question on the 4 wheeled snow blower, how does the blower drive the 4 wheels ? 18 degrees
I believe it came out that the person who looked at it said all four wheels turned, as they were directly hooked up to the drive line. They said there was a trigger on each handle that lets use the example if you wanted to turn left you would activate the left trigger and it would in essence disconnect the left two wheels from the system, and they would then be free wheeling.
I think it may be similar to what toro has, on their high end models, so you could research there. IWill PM someone whom I think has that sys and see if he will post here as I wanted to ask him how it worked anyway

Richie where does your Toro disengage at Ben 07

Richie where does your Toro disengage at It actually seems like a simple design to me. Like with any snowblower, everything happens underneath under the hood. Directly in front of the friction disc there's an assembly called a pawl-clutch sprocket. It appears to serve a similar function as a pressure plate does on a car, including spring loaded fingers. In front of that is the wheel axle, which is actually two axles, each with it's own 44 tooth sprocket, separated by what's called a tube axle, which until you pull a trigger, actually allows both axles to work as one. So it doesn't have one continuous solid axle like my old snowblower had of course. When either trigger is pulled, it disengages that side, enabling the opposite side to remain powered. When both triggers are pulled simultaneously, it's like shifting into neutral.
