Is there a snow blower out there that lays salt down as it goes?

Don’t really have much to explain on this one, I would like to find one if there is.

I live in FL and there isn’t much call for that here. May I assume your looking for a ‘personal’ model as opposed to an industrial type machine that costs thousands of dollars? I don’t know that one exists. So, invent one! I’m sure there would be some marketability for something like that. Good luck!

this one’s a stumper! it doesn’t appear to have been invented yet from what I can tell. are you thinking that it should lay the salt down after the snow has been blown, right (rather than blowing the salt along with the snow everywhere)? what if you attached a bag with holes in it, that as the mower is going (and vibrating) would shake the salt out of the bag? I wonder if there is some way to attach a lawn seed spreader to the back of the blower? I found a couple of ones below:

Pretty expensive though they are automatic.

You could get creative and attach an inexpensive hand-crank one:

and somehow jury-rig it so that the handcrank itself is attached the wheel axle on the blower? So as the blower is moving forward, the hand crank would turn automatically.
