Snow Attachments Bucket mount snow blade for NH boomers or Blower?

dirtwhisperer · Sep 9, 2004

Anyone know about how much a bucket mounted snow blade would run for the New Holland Boomer tractors or a web site link to them ? I'm wondering if it is cheaper to get this instead of a rear mount PTO snowblower. Another option - buy a used truck snowplow and adapt to a quick attach and hydraulics of boomer bucket ?

I took a 7 ft Meyer off an old CJ Jeep, welded the mounting tangs in the bucket and use it this way.. Does an awesome job. Our driveway is hilly and 1600 ft long.. Beng the swing pistons were broke, I just pull a single bolt anad swing the blad if I have to.. Although, I haven't had to swing another angle,, Works really great and took one hour to complete. Takes two minutes to hook-unhook when needed

Find yourself an old pickup snow plow, brand isn't really al that important. Mine happens to be a "Fisher", and adapt it to work with your tractor. There have been many differant ways that people have attached theirs. I had mine adapted with a plate / bracket for use with my quick hitch.
I have Maybe, $500 invested in mine total with the purchase of the old plow, bracket, hydraulic lines and welding.
There was no way that I could get a new plow set up or even a snowblower for I will guesstimate $2000 at the minimum.

You'll spend $1,700 - $2,100 for a Curtis blade similar to a truck blade that installs on the bucket mount pins on your FEL. Exact price depends on whether you want power angle and the size of the blade.

attached is what I plan to use this winter, but it's only for light snows, as I have a 60" blower on the rear:
