Evening everyone,
I have been reading through a good number of posts about pushing snow using a grader blade backwards and have read and seen some really great setups for plowing forward with a dozer blade. I plowed snow last year backwards with my grader blade and can certainly see the benefit of a front mounted plow. There isn't super deep snow here in virginia but we have had a few 6-8" falls and some of it was the heavy wet stuff which made it more difficult to plow backwards. Here's the question which I haven't come across it in any of the posts or pictures I have found so far... has anyone attached a rear grader blade to the front of an N without getting into any serious welding etc??? I have a few setup ideas in my head but I am looking to the been there done that crowd to decide if I want to endeavor into mounting it on the front of my 52 8N sidemount. It has a front mounted bumper/brush guard (the type you can attach a ball hitch to) on the front which led to my head swimming with ideas of connection possibilities. The grader blade I have is an old Ford blade so it is rather heavy and stout. Any thoughts or even better pictures of a setup would be great. I would plan to attach my rear scoop to the back and load it with some heavy blocks etc to act as ballast. As always thanks in advance.
