Snow pusher build

[The Haymaker]

Great looking setup, looks very strong.. Any reason your not making it quick attach to your loader arms vrs to the bucket?

Sorry for the delay, missed this one. Yup, I wanted the extra reach and the versatility of having bucket and blade wherever I'm working at the same time.

Project is now 99% done with just finishing touches like cutting edge and clevises left to add. I started on the five footer before the ADD kicked in full bore.

I did just spend some time in the field rounding off clumps of topsoil and peeling up ice with mine. Definitely needs a cutting edge, but repeatedly brought the tractor to a stop with good traction. No damage, and the three angle setup rolls snow nicely.

Grin!

No sides yet, wanted to make sure it worked first. Not much has changed since last post other than all webbing is welded in.

This thing done yet? Third weekend. Here's the five footer minus cutting edge. Looks like sides will be added later. All I have left on my 7' is to box in ends with snatch holes and add cutting edge. Again, sides will be added later. I need to source a 4x8 piece of 3/16" or 1/4". My local steel vendor won't split sheets and I can't justify buying a whole one.... Unless someone wants to buy one of these.

Welds are solid, but look like crap. I'm using a lump of FREE 7018. Price was right, but T80AC's make a better weld.

Very Nice job Haymaker!! Probably can't wait for some new either?
OK here's one of those stupid quesition that said I'd ask when I first
signed on, what holds it on the bucket? I see chain holes in the corners,
I'm thinking they go back to some hooks on the bucket with chains?!
Ok How dumb am I ??

Very nice job, I'm saving this project to my favorites ( it just so happens I have everything to make one.......the reality is, I'll never find the time to do it). I'd like to barrow your design anyway, can I ask what angle the sheet metal is bent at?
