Some people have asked how to make a snow blade for a front in loader.
6 years ago I built a snow blade out of wood that fits inside FIL. This was to be a proto-type. Over the years, I've made changes. Last year, I added a 4 inch sewer pipe. The last pic shows it all. I can remove snow from the yard, which the pic really doesn't show just how unlevel the yard is. By not bolting it to the front bucket, just use chains to keep it from falling out, it floats over uneven surfaces. It's light enought, it doesn't dig rock out of drive. Instead it leaves about an inch of show behind.
I used a 2x10x8ft board for the blade. I built this out of all scrap materials, cost zero, nothing, $0.00
If I find the right metal, I may build one out of metal, but it will float inside the front bucket. Chains will hold it in place.
I keep my Jubilee at another location to remove snow. Today's snow was a bear to remove. I had to angle the 7 ft back blade and plow snow, not push it. Could only do about 4 ft at a time. To add insult, there was ice under the snow in some places.
Jubilee has wider tires, 12 or 13 wide. 30 + hp, no ballast, just chains. My T5C terramite, has only 8 wide rear tires, no ballast, no chains only 20 hp kohler, hydrostatic, and it has all the traction I need. I think the key is not having the back wheels in deep snow. It doesn't hurt to have a heavy hoe on the back.
Someone had suggested showing pics of your homemade snow plows. So hope mine is helpful. Like to see what you have built. George

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
