New snow plow

I got the snow plow fitted to my loader on the 1600. I used the plate floor the bale spear, welded 2 brackets that I made up and a chain hook. Got to use it a few times this week and it works pretty good.

Next year I hope to work on adding power beyond for the loader, and then running lines up front for the blade to turn it. Right now the only drawback is that I have to get off and turn it by hand.

Just watch for the blade to shove you sideways. I had one for a skid steer and it was OK until it became icy. Then you would just be pushed sideways if you angled it very much.

With a tractor you almost have to lock the brake to stay straight.
Only problem with the blade out front. If the snow is kinda lite then
you can steer.

Haven't had very many big snows the last several years. One in a while we may get one, but if I have a problem I'll just put the bucket on.

So far the most I've gotten to play with was about 3".

Oh man , I am green with envy!! I have always
wanted a blade to scrape up what the snowblower
leaves behind. Looks great to me

Looks good Don. I also made one to hook up to my one arm loader just to push the snow piles back. I haven't used it yet. Haven't gotten the big snows. I would be satisfied not to use and let all the
snow stay out by you.

Especially with the blade being so far out in front of the tractor

I've been pushing snow with a 16 inch tall by 80 inch wide blade pinned straight onto the loader arms of
the loader on my Super H for 22 years. Most of the places I push snow are short so snow dribbling off the
side is no problem. I raise the front wheels of the tractor off the ground when cleaning my concrete
driveway. Winter of '07/'08 when we got over 101 inches of snow I had snow piled up 8-10 FEET tall. I've
never felt the need to be able to angle the blade on my loader, would add way too much length to the
loader&tractor and make it difficult to get in some places. I back drag snow from several places. A blade
raised with a chain couldn't do that.

Had a snow blower on a garden tractor but got tired of wearing so much snow, plus it would have been
really slow going on some of the snows I've pushed. Made the mistake one snow of driving into the shop with
the tractor. Next snow had a 3+ft tall drift in front of the door, took several tries to get thru that
drift, had snow piled a foot tall on top of the pto shield when I finally got out.

Had a day in about 1998 where we had severe blowing snow early one morning, decided to stay home from work
with the 145 mile round trip commute. Spent the day pulling people out of the snow drift in front of our
house, Son & I pulled a dozen cars out, about 10 AM I gave up trying to keep the drift cleared out. It must
have been 4-5 ft tall. Packed in so solid our St. Bernard dog easily walked on top of the snow.

I was considering a plow in front of my bucket, but was afraid that it being so far forward would torque the loader arms to much.
Any one have a problem with that?

I've done almost the same thing on my 1650, however I have a back blade on too, and use that to pull the snow away from the buildings and then get behind it and push it out the way with the front blade. Send me a email and I can send you more pictures of how the front blade is attached and how I used the loader. I also added skid shoes to both blades as I have a gravel driveway.

I mounted 8ft Western blade on JD 500 carrier, my primary concern was getting it close to tractor. I have been wanting to trade for a MSL loader but as far as me and the dealer can figure out it would be around 14+" farther out not sure I want that. One picture angled left one right.

Car dealer I worked for bought a new Kubota 3010?? with a rear finish mower, salt spreader, loader and snow plow, think the plow was for a skid loader, hooked to the cylinders. Blade just looked too far forward to me. Every body in the place used and abused it but I think what killed it was dropping it fast and trying to stop it before it hit the ground, cracked that plow quadrant every where it could crack within a few years. Geometry wasn't right.

gab, They need to tilt so blade can stay level on ground if one rear tire goes higher than the other. It took a while to do but got mine so it will tilt up or down 7" or so either side. That is probably what broke mount. Also will not try to twist loader either.

Will post pics of mine after I get enough posts to be accepted. Plus need to learn how to attach photos.&#128533;
