1025r loader attachments

dmbtree82 · Jul 1, 2014

Hi guys,

I just got my 1025r and will be maintaining a 300' driveway in the winter with it once our house is ready. In the past I would plow our smaller driveway with an ATV, but my ATV situation has changed. I do still have a 60" plow from it and am thinking about mounting it up to the loader frame. My thought it to hack up the plow mount tubes and build a frame for the quick attachment capability on the loader frame. That way I can just take the bucket off to plow and then back on to move large piles when necessary.

My questions are...

Do you think the ATV plow will hold up to the much heavier tractor? I'll be plowing slower with the tractor, so I think it would be ok.

Has anyone done anything like this and have suggestions?

Does anywhere sell the pieces required for the quick attachment on the loader? I thought I saw what may be it, but didn't see pictures to be certain.

Thanks.

Artillian Tractor Attachments - Light-Weight Heavy-Duty Pallet Forks for John Deere Subcompact & Compact Tractors

Has some plates you can use to fit the JDQA, he also makes a FEL plow setup that uses the JD 54" blade, you could adapt your plow to the fork frame like he has. The forks he sells are hands down the best for your size machine.

Most likely the ATV plow you have will hold up just fine.

Funny I should see your post about the plow. I got my 1025R last summer and I have a plow for it and will have to build a hook up system for it as well. I will keep looking here to see your progress and how it comes out. I'm the stubborn type and will try to make it myself, all I need is the welder that so far has not materialized in my garage just yet. Oh I,m from Pa. as well up here in the northeast best of luck to you and your plow.

I made a plow attachment to go directly to the front of my 4300. The FEL is so quick to take off, and I felt much better rig for plowing to not incorporate the FEL.

But, there are many, many posts of people mounting blades on their loaders, and if any are finding that it doesn't work well for them, I've not read about it.
