Snow Plow Size

I have an old 6 ft Meyer snow plow (manual angle) that I want to mount on my 2N a lot like Kirk-NJ did with a cable system to raise/lower it, mainly because I have the plow. But I would also like to get another one with power angle to put on my bigger tractor which is 12V...use the pump I have to run the up/down and use the tractor's aux port to run the angle. My question is, how well will a 43 hp tractor handle an 8 ft plow?
 
Well I use a 8.5 foot V-plow on my 841. Big problem with a front angel blade it they tend to push the front end off to the side so control can be an issue. I also keep a lot of weight on my 3 point or I would not get any place.

That issue has very little to do with HP and a whole lot to do with size and weight. Help us out and tell us exactly what model tractor you want to hang the 8 foot plow on.

Yep I have a A/C C that I built a front lift on and tried to put an 8 foot blade on it up front and found I could not go any place with snow on the ground just sat and spun. So I build a 3 point for it and have not used it since
 
I agree with TOH. Tell us what tractor and we could better help you.
Also, do you have good tire chains and adequate ballast on it?
For what it's worth, I have a 7' Ford plow that I put on my 3000 and it is a good match.
Of course it all depends on how much snow you got too.
I do like your idea of power angle though.
I've been watching here for about an 8' plow with power angle to mount on my bigger tractor.
But I would probably raise and angle it with the onboard remote valves.
 
I have a 8 or so wide blade that is power angle or can be it the cylinders where put back on. I have not moved it in probably 5 years or more
 
It's a Case 1190 with 1 aux port
which according to tractordata
originally shipped at 4,600 lbs. It
does have ballast both front and rear
but I don't know how much and I don't
know the current weight as I have yet
to run it across the scales. I don't
have any chains for it and here in NE
Ks we very rarely have >1 ft of snow
at a time with no accumulation from
event to event.

Should work fine pushing an 8 footer through those blizzard like 12" snows ;-). I have always liked the no nonsense muscular look of that era Case tractor. Several of them running around my neighborhood.

Its a really good tractor, I love it!
Mine isn't that nice though, I wish
it had the side panels. Information
is really hard to find because they
were produced during the transition
period between David Brown and JI
Case so neither one claims
them...Case doesn't claim it because
it was built by David Brown but David
Brown didn't claim it because it has
Case stickers.

Nice looking tractor.
I went looking around for some info on them.
Very heavy for 43 hp. At least you wont break it :)
I agree it should handle an 8' plow.
Looks like it has a very heavy front end on it so shouldn't be too hard to fabricate a frame to fit the plow onto it.

Not only is the front end heavy it is part of a FRAME. What'll they think of next ;-)

Decals indeed ;-)

(quoted from post at 17:17:36 01/08/15) I got to thinking about the thread last week and wondered if they put a zerk on the pivot.
see 5 in the breakdown of the axle

I looked earlier and started to go there on my previous reply but decided not to. :roll:

In addition to the zerks the front axle pin runs through a big a$$ trunnion cast into the center section of the axle - see #1 in the diagram. That greatly adds to its ability to resist twisting forces.

So have you figured out what component the "oil filler" on the frame is used to fill?????:

Great minds...


I'd say the frame is the bottom of the engine - the pan. Notice the cover #11 and drain plug #13
and notice the half round seal #21 and gasket #20 in the diagram/link below where they would mate the block to the frame.
It seems to be a pretty neat tractor.
BTW,
If you want to see a heavy duty way to resist twisting here's the front axle on a 4400. Rear view.
Static load = 6500 lbs
Dynamic " = 26K lbs

Looking closer I see the frame contains a compartment that acts as the engine oil sump but it's a lot more than an oil pan ;-) Sump has a bottom cover (aka oil pan to me) and the bolts are 3/8 x 8+ inches long and sandwich the engine and bottom cover to the frame. Interesting design and I have never seen anything like it before.....
