Brian: While the cobbler's first rule is "anything can fit on anything with enough work", I believe that you're expecting a lot from your tractor to mount a truck plow on it. A 7' blade is going to severely stress the entire tractor, not just the front end. Though I don't know where you live (and by extension how much snow you can expect to get) if you're anywhere that measures its snow in feet, you're going to run into problems. The A will not have enough power to push a full blade of snow, especially a blade designed for a 150+ hp truck. Taking small bites won't work as you'll end up sliding off the track due to the side force of an uneven load. Additionally, I don't know if you'll have a lot of luck lifting the plow with the rockshaft, if that is your plan. On the other hand, if this is just a rig to clear a few inches of snow at a time, you MAY get it to work. You'll still need quite a bit of weight on the rear to get any traction at all--the plow will tend to raise the rear as it pivots on the front.
