Snow Attachments clamp on snow plow

[farmerjim]

has anyone seen this or own one yet. this one is made by aiken trailer. similar to one of those sno pusher parking lot plows. looks pretty heavy duty, i may get one for this winter for my 790, instead of the jd dozer blade or a rear blade.

Looks interesting to me too. Any idea on prices or shipping?

 

[farmerjim]

i asked them for a qoute on a 6ft and 5ft w/ shipping to my address. that was sat, once i get a reply i'll pass it on. looks like it may also be a good manure pusher for the barn.jim

While I like the idea, I wonder if the blade height is large enough for our snow falls. It is not unusual to have a snow storm dump in excess of a foot of snow. That blade does not look tall enough to handle a fall like that.

We typically have over 100" of snow per winter. It sure would be nice to pop the blade off in order to push the piles back.

 

[farmerjim]

that was my concern also, but they say it can be extended, not sure how high though.

I have to admit this has my interest as well

I'm sure interested too. I'd been thinking about fabricating something like that using an ATV blade, but I'd sure rather buy one.

Anybody close enough to go check them out? It looks like they are near Ashtabula, OH, but in Pennsylvania. Being in that area, they should certainly know about moving snow.

This one is pricey, but for those with quick detach buckets it looks like a winner. I would like to find one a little less $$$ for the quick detatch FEL. I like the springs on it also in case you find an object hidden in the snow.

got a reply on the cost for a 6ft and 5ft. the 5ft is $825 and 6ft is $950. you can also get a 6in extension moldboard for $85. it weighs in at 300lbs. freight to my zip was about $176. still thinking about it, i was going to price out the jd dozer blade and see from there.

That is a little pricey!

I have an old Snow Bear electric snow plow that I am thinking about mounting in my FEL. Angle is changed manually and it is 7' with mushrooms under it (I have never used them). The wench used to raise and lower it will not get mounted - no need. The extra weight for the loader looks to be about 150# max. Looks like only a couple of bolts through the bucket will do it.

Total cost, nothing. Just using something that was not used anymore.

I hav a plow VERY simuliar to that particular blade on my Yamaha Rhino The 6 ft version. We get alot of snow in the Md./Wv mountains where I live and I was also concerned about the height of the blade. But since i bought it for the light snowfalls I wasn't too worried about it. ( I use a 3pt blower and backhoe for the big snows )
Well, I have used my Rhino for plowing ever since. I will plow deep 18" snow without a problem because the shape of the plow doesn't allow it to go over the top. It just rolls the snow over until it goes off to the side.
If you are interested i would not hesitate to use it in the deepest of snows. It works great. I think you would only be limited by the traction of your tractor.
The price is pretty high though. Why not just buy the blade from Cycle country and weld up a mounting system to the FEL ?

The Snow Champ looks like nice, easy on/easy off item. I would wonder if you can really clamp it in place so it wouldn't move. There are so many old plows, rusted and dented that could be fabbed to use on a tractor I would have to think long and hard about something $1000 - 1100.........as well as getting an ok to buy it! At that price it would seem you could find a snowblower some where that would do a better job.

That is about what I paid for the 42" snow blower attachment for my lawn tractor. It would have been nice for my loader but I can find a 6 foot plow off a compact truck cheaper I thing with hydraulics and springs. It is a great idea though

 

[scesnick]

I paid $700 for my Ber-Vac 64" blower.

Since he posted that in 2006, my guess is he found a plow by now
