Bucket Hydraulics for Snow Plow???

Posted by Bob Kirk on November 27, 2002 at 13:20:49 from (170.215.144.65):

There's a TO-35 currently listed in the photo ads (posted 11/26) that has an ordinary snow plow mounted in the bucket of the front end loader. Pretty slick! Since this is exactly a set-up I am planning to build for my own tractor, I contacted the owner and got a description of what he had done.

Turns out this is a hydraulic angle plow, but the cylinders are not currently hooked up.

Does anyone suppose you could "tee" off the lines for the dual-action bucket cylinder (with couplers and maybe some valve set-up) to control a power angle plow mounted in the bucket? Would tractor hydraulic pressure (2500 lbs ???) be too much for the plow? How could you best control either the bucket or the plow with the least hassle?

Any thoughts about how this could be rigged to work would be much appreciated.
