Looks great !!! Using the whole original lift was overkill when a simple hook would have done...... but great job nonetheless. Have you had a good storm to try it out in yet?

 

[papy]

yes i know i have to remove that upper hole assemble i just finished it two hrs ago.
thanks ,but i would to thank Fred, deerlope. he helped me out he sent me some pictures of the plow he built and i did this one to day. $200.00 in parts that was for the hoses and the fittings.plow was free.
ps i got a lot of input from the guys on the web here.

I like your rear blade... can that swing out to the side of the tractor and tilt? Looking for something to cut / clean ditches... Oh, and great setup for the front end

Yes you can tilt it out there and angle it.its a real heavy duty blade set up ,have to do it by hand for now.my drive way is from **** 1/4 mile stone rocks trees all around. o ps and tree stumps.i have not used the plow yet we need some more snow.i just finished it will give a report on how its going to do.

Papy- since it's now snowed, how did it work? I have a very similar setup on my tractor. By the looks of the ground, you're certainly going to want some skids/feet under the blade. The "bucket" dump function allows you to adjust the angle of approach of the blade to the grade, IF you have the shoes. I'm in favor of fairly limp settings on the cutting-edge trip springs, to absorb the shock you don't want the loader arms to feel.
You can push a lot (and high piles) with that setup. Get ready for tomorrow, sounds like. Happy new year.

MAN this thing works great we had about 8" today.it would have taken me 6hrs or 7 to do my drive way with the back blade and useing the front bucket thats with pushing the snow away for the next snow,with this set up i did the complete drive way in 2hrs ,i cant tell you how happy i am with this set up.my thanks to deerlope again if it wasent for him i would be still plowing and not reporting on the plow set up.
PS I have to take the up and down piston off and the brakets not useing them . your tractor budy in the snow HERMAN

I was wondering about your lifting setup that you left. Part of me thinks you should leave a flexible link (chain) but remove the rest of the "rig"

Nice work

HI GUY i am going to remove the set up and i have to keep the chain that holds the plow set up to the tractor. its a great poor mans plow set up LOL
