Thanks for the link!
Of course...I want just the opposite. ;-)

I've got to buy a new Bob-Tach (only $1200) and modify it to accept the three point hitch, buy a ram for the upper take up, plumb the cylinder rig up a wiring circuit so the vee-plow wings can be operated while it 's back there.

The point of the ram is to roll the BobTach down to pick up the implement......quicker than the turn buckle drill.

Then putting the counter weight/vee-plow on the front or back is no problemo.

Thanks guys, I sent the FFC pusher back. I found a guy to build me a new one from scratch to my specs for the same money. Thought he'd have it done tmoro.

Also Nav, something to consider is that toolcat is going to be seriously long. The plow or whatever you end up hangin off the back will have a huge amount of tail swing to watch out for.

Yes...I've thought about that.
If I do this...Its not so much residential...Mostly long runs down gravel roads and relative open areas that need to get cleaned up. Counter weight and the ability to carry two tools.
Some roads are so rough here there are Idaho potato size rocks and up.
I pump concrete and don't like rocks and I'm sure snowblowers show the same frustration with rocks too.

Snowblowing, the plow would be folded to reduce the radius.
Vee-plowing....most likely I'm making tracks to open a road so mostly straight going.

It was good of them to take it back. I had the same problem when i took the 10' pusher off my toolcat and put it on a V417. even with the boom all the way down the pusher sat 2" off the ground. I ended it cutting off the mounting adapter and bolting it back on 4" higher. The cutting edges now touch the ground but in float mode there is not enough travel in the boom to follow all contours. I just ended up taking it off and using the bucket. Almost just as fast anyway. (100" of snow bucket!)
