550 for snowplowing?

dep · Nov 2, 2015

I was thinking about rigging up a front plow for snowplowing. Was there any factory or aftermarket setups available? Anybody have some pics of their setups? I know it will need some extra weight plus chains on the rear but how well do u think it will do plowing?

A few around my area get an adapter to put on a loader that enables the loader to use skid loader tools neighbor has a blade on his loader with hydraulic angle and that works nice the quick hitch then also makes it work for buckets or bale fork. That's my idea down the road bought a farmhand loader which is the same as oliver for 250 bucks and will put an adapter plate on that

Here is my 550 for Minnesota winters. I have a blade that I can pin on instead of the bucket, but I like the bucket better. The blower is an old Erskine blower. PTO driven, auger with "fan". You drive forward and snow funnels into it. Shute throws snow right or left. It definitely has its limitations. Chains are helpful on the rear tires. Next on the to-do list is is to build a heat-houser cab.
