Snow FRONT SNOWPLOW?

[pkav32]

Katahdin,
That is exactly what I was thinking about. I have had my plow on Craigslist from the last month and no calls. I am not going to dump the price if I can use it on the tractor. It has paid for itself two times over within the last 7 years. The plow is the poly blade so I think it will do okay with my flat driveway. I would question it if I had a an incline. I just recently bought a frontier sb1164 rear snowblower to do the driveway. Why not have both right?! That is great work. Thanks!

I have a 2520. With That size plow you won't push the big snow, big that won't matter to you since you have the blower. That should make a great combination, plow for light snow and blower for heavy.

I used to run an 84" rear blade on my JD 2320. You won't have any problems. The worst is the first pass than bite off whatever you can handle.

Btw, IMO a blade is the fastest way to clear snow, but that doesn't mean without draw backs. Ymmv

Yeah I still have doubts about the snow removal without a cab. I used to plow with kids and dogs. Now I have to bundle up and it will take 3x as long. That is why I am interested in attaching the plow. Thanks ford ecoboost! Found out later boss dealers won't touch it. Snoway makes a plow but it is 5k plus.

Why would they care? Attachment point must the same as the other engines.

I read up on this because I was curious, snow plows would be hard on the Ecoboost's electric power steering and requires a sub frame for attachment. The 7.6' Snow-Way plow weighs just 471lbs, but you can get a 8 foot 590lb model if the F150 has the Heavy Duty package.

Ecoboost needs airflow due to the twin turbo. The main problem in the plow mfg eyes is the electric power steering. It is all about liability and they are afraid if I lost my steering and crashed it would come back to them.

IMO a 1/2 ton should not have a plow on it.

I agree if you are doing more than your personal driveway.

Does not matter anymore. Just sold the plow. Thanks for your advice
