Here?s another idea for your snow pusher . You could make a wing like the graders have

David G · Jan 4, 2020

You could raise it up and tractor joust.

SVcummins · Jan 4, 2020

Yes you could . That could be a new tractor game

Must be some very light dry snow to push it with a board.

SVcummins · Jan 4, 2020

Yes it would have to be

I think George said 4 inches was about the end of time in his area .

Here's my first SNOW pusher. 4 to 6 inch is a big snow. We did have a Blizzard in 1978. 6 winters nothing to push. This year about 6 inches in 2 days.

Plastic and wood has worked better than I imagined.

Don't know why, but Farmall doesn't need chains or tire ballast.

Can't do anything without chains on Jubilee.

My first snow plow siting was in my Grand parents side yard (my birth homestead) it was a horse drawn pare of 2X12X8 feet with an A brace at about 3 ft. from the point. It had been in northern Indiana snow for 20 years and pulled first with horses. Then an IHC McCormick 10-20. It worked in fresh snow, not used snow. Jim

Actually it works best with wet snow.
Doesn't work if wet snow freezes at night. Or ice storm follows the snow.

I have to put snow some place. so when I get too much I can push it on the grass. The plastic pipe won't dig in and damage lawn.

Because its attached to woods mower deck it floats over unlevel ground.

I have found that pushing from the front like farmall handles the snow much easier than trying to drag it like the ford

Traditional Farmer · Jan 5, 2020

I wouldn't bother to push 4".

You never know if you are going to get a second snow. My pusher doesn't work if you drive on 4 inches of snow and pack it down. When removing the snow, some is left behind and the sun will melt the rest giving you a clean drive. That way you don't bring snow into garage or pole barn. I park everything inside, tractors, cars, truck.

Traditional farmer, drive over it?

Bill(Wis) · Jan 5, 2020

That thing on the Farmall would last less than 5 minutes around my neck of the woods. I'm having a hard time imagining that a Woods mower deck would be strong enough to support what you're doing, but it obviously does. We did, for about 50 years, use a big snow pusher about the size of a barn door attached to the rear lift of a WD Allis Chalmers equipped with chains and a homemade cab. Worked pretty good.

Traditional Farmer · Jan 5, 2020

Ignore it,it'll melt in a day or two.

9001ron · Jan 5, 2020

Could it be you are driving where you just cleared down to a some what solid footing --where as with a drag blade you need to drive over the snow first ?

SVcummins · Jan 5, 2020

I?m sure that?s most of it

SVcummins · Jan 5, 2020

It forms ice if I drive on it here then You have A mess

Geo-TH,In · Jan 5, 2020

Unless you own a wood mower, you have no idea how strong they are. If you hit a tree in first gear with mower it will stop you.

It may not show up in pic, I have a long piece of thread stock as a support brace.
