I had a big issue with ripping my gravel driveway up pushing snow with my loader bucket. I use a grader blade on the back turned around, and it worked ok but in deep snow it’d just get bogged down. So I came up with a simple design anyone can weld together, works like a champ!! Leaves about 1/4”- 1/2” of snow, but no more torn up driveway.
Here’s what I did- I picked up some 1/4” x2” steel stock, and cut it down to 3 pieces, the bottom section are both about 7” long, top is 5”. I also got some 3/4” round stock and cut it to 2” (width of the 1/4” stock) welded it together so that the top section is set back at an angle, with the round stock between to make a nice gradual curve to it. Other piece of straight steel acts a bit like a clamp, set up the thickness of my bucket. Drilled and tapped some holes, so when it snows I throw them on, bolt the top to clamp it in, and it’s good to go! Super easy project, and now I just get the loader “levelish”, put it on float, turn the back grader around and go to town.
There’s probably something like this on the market, but it probably costs about $500. All in, I’m at probably $40 worth of steel from the hardware store.
Hope it helps someone who’s tired of tearing their driveway up!
