Hello all,
Once again I would like to tap into your vast wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and expertise. I am currently trying to work a better snow-moving arrangement for one of my old tractors, a MF 65, and I'm constantly thinking of new ideas. In years past I have just used chains and the rear blade, which has worked fine, but I want a better system which will work faster and easier. I was thinking of adapting my back blade for hydraulics, using a two-way ram that would allow for the blade to be swung around and used in reverse. Then today, I thought about using a hydraulic motor to angle the blade, and it would swing the blade around to reverse, without ever leaving the seat. Have any of you tried this before, and what results did you have? Would I need to gear it down, or would it have enough power to move the blade?Also, on my loader tractor,and International 2444, would you mount a truck plow blade on the front, in place of the bucket, or on the back, in reverse, so you can still use the bucket to move snow? Or would you remove the loader entirely and mount the plow right on the front, closer to the tractor? Thank you very much for your help, and sorry for the long post. -Chris
