After a couple years of debating, I built my perfect snow plow. Pictures included. I bolted a 4x4 to the bucket (already had holes) 7 ft wide. Then bolted a 2x12 and 2x6 together to the 4x4. 1/2” carriage bolts. Added a 2x4 to the top to help curl the snow. Then added 1/2 thick x 3” rubber strip from a horse stall mat. The rubber hangs below the wood about 1x2”. First snow was about 7”. I have a lot of concrete at my little farm. As you can see it worked very well took about 30 minutes.

If it works, that's all you need. Just pushing snow around. Anything is better than shoveling.......

boards may warp after awhile due to the snow melting/freezing, but easily replaceable

You are right 009. Easy to replace if needed. Pretty simple design.

Very useful!

I've seen snow pushers made from heavy equipment tires. I'm thinking of going that way myself. ;-)

LOL, reminds me of a plywood and bed angle plow I hung on my old VW 'Bug" way back when.
My sophisticated lift was a rope and hockey stick lever and open driver's window, but WYH it worked!

Nice job! I like the strip of stall mat, something to "give" if you snub up on something like a protruding rock.
