I posted over in the massey board, but maybe you guys could give me some help
I currently use a MF 65 with a 3-pt blade to push snow. Usually that works fine, as we only have about 6in a snowfall and I can pull the snow forward. This year, that was not the case! I have an old truck snow plow lined up, and I was wondering how I could mount it to the front of my tractor. Can I just use the cultivator mounts on the front axle, or do I need to support it all the way back to the back axle? Any ideas, suggestions, or problems you guys have had? Also, what about hydraulics? Would the 3-pt auxillary be enough (already hooked up), even though it's slow?
Thanks,
-Chris

Chris,

I have a meyer st-90 blade mounted on the front of my MF Industrial 20. The frame goes to the back axle. I use the 3-pt auxillary and it works great. I will take pictures of the entire setup and email them to you this weekend.
Take care,
Rik

I have a question about the ST-90 plow. I would like to know what kind of motor I would need to buy to replace the original. I can't find any information on this particular product. I would really appreciate it. Austin

Thanks for the info guys.
I really like the master/slave hydrualic set up. That's pretty cool. I have seen the dearborn plows, but I agree, I don't trust the cables too much.
I'm going to use a truck plow, so I like the idea of leaving the brackets on and just removing the plow. Square tubing sounds like it would be the best choice.
Thanks for all your help, I'll be ready next year!

I would also push from all the way back at the rear axles.
The tractor is Made to do it's work from the back end.
Last year I was also wanting to put a front snow plow on my 2N Ford.
Dearborn did make them but they're hard to find.
I also didn't like the way they used cables to lift the plow.
So i built one. Had a guy roll the face of the blade and I welded up the rest of it.
Mine uses the 3 Pt lift to compress the oil in the real cylinder to raise the front. Kind of like the master/slave cylinders on the brakes in your car.
Works faster than the slow, heavy oil from the tractor's hydraulics.
I have some pictures of my rig at the link below.
The guys on the N board have all seen them many times but maybe you have not.
Feel free to email me for more info.
My server seems a little slow this morning.
Bear with it, they'll come up.

To be safe, I would go all the way back to the rear axel. A friend of mine has a MF 165. He used square tubing to run from the plow frame back to the axel. He used some simple but clever hitch pins to remove the plow easily. The mounting supports on the axel stayed on, they are never in the way. Your Hyd. should work fine. In my area there are plenty of snow pushing tractor set ups to get some ideas from. I think the tubing idea was very clean. If you need more information I can find out the tubing size/thickness. My friend has pictures and he loves to show his home made stuff off.
