Putting a 2.75" hardened steel pipe on rear blade for plowing in soft conditions?

Charging inside the house!!!??

Why not? I can run a cord (the extension kind) into the fireplace.

If it burns in there, it burns.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Buy him an EV and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

Really? Buying an EV automatically makes you end up in Hell?

Lookn' good, but as TMK said, we need to see what it looks like on back of the blade. Got a pic?

I have a hydraulic top link now, so it will be easier to play with that, but I've always angled the blade and offset it. In fact I now have title, angle, offset, top link and gauge wheel controls on hydraulics.

I can try again, but I think my blade wasn't designed to back blade snow. I should get rid of those vertical posts (previous owner modification).... that might help and I haven't found a good use for them.

I'd guess those pipes were used with/for a pair of gauge wheels perhaps?

This is how his blade used to look, set up for a pair of small skids.

When mine starts digging into the gravel I know it's time to lift the blade an inch or two.

Okay, I see that and like you I've no other idea of what he might've used the pipes for.

Thanks for that. It looks like the back of your blade is pretty smooth vs my blade which has a bunch of perpendicular reinforcements all along the bottom of the blade where is meets the moldboard. That might account for the difference in the snow clearing capabilities of the two (back) blades.

I think they're too close to the ground to accommodate gauge wheels.

I tried making some huge skids for them that were 12" wide, but they just sank in, caught the earth and forced the blade into the ground. Total fail on my part lol.
