i have a ford 971 with a 7 ft blade on a 3 point hitch. i have 2 questions.
1 why are most tractor blades so much shorter in height than those on pick ups. it seems they would be more effective if they were taller? 2. does anyone make a kit to put on the end of a blade to cap the outboard side so the snow will be forced off only one edge of the blade?
thanx dan

I was faced with the same problem, so i bought this used Meyers snow plow for $175.00, and mounted it on my FWA tractor. You can see it below, Robert Link

You probably have a "scraper blade", which is made for cleaning manure out of stables, not plowing snow. You would probably have more success by selling the blade you have and buying one designed for plowing snow. Mounted on the front with proper angle control will work a lot better, and with a spring loaded trip release in case it gets caught on something. Pushing snow works better if you are going pretty fast so it gets thrown to the side, hard to do that in reverse.

Did you angle the blade somewhat to one side?
That should help some, but if it doesn't you could easily fabricate one and weld or bolt it on. Shouldn't be too dificult, it wouldn't have to be too heavy either, could manage to make it out of a small piece of sheet steel and maybe even clamp it on. Thats what i've done in the past, it does take some experiementing though...
Goodluck, e-mail me if you need any other suggestions....

Maybe they are short so they clear the lower arms of the 3-point when you go to reverse it.

I think the reason they are short is they are designed for dirt and could be overloaded if taller. As for and end plate you probably will have to fabricate one. Some snowplows have them if you could use one of them, Western or Meyers. Hope this helps.
