Snow Blade frontier72" snow blade best investment

[worksmartnothard]

I purchased a frontier 72" snow blade AF11E loader mounted for my John Deere 3320 and I couldn't be more happy with it. The loader attachment allows you to stack the snow high. I'd rather use my tractor than my pick up truck with a 8' fisher plow. The tractor can turn on a dime and reverse direction much quicker. Now its not so much like work.

I have same set up. But i've had issues this year, when back tires go over bump or unlevel ground, the plow way up front digs the turf or gravel up.

Am I missing a way for the blade to "ride' over and not dig in?

Ah-ha! I went out & looked at it. Normally I have a bucket on loader. When I removed bucket it was tilited too far forward. I use the same hydralic lines to swival blade and tilt function. I hooked up line to tilt function, corrected and then put back on swival lines. I always have up and down function.
Much better - cool - blizzard conditions here.

There's a snow shoe on the front corners of the plow maybe there aren't enough washers
To raise the plow to prevent you digging in. Some one was talking about putting a plastic pipe
On the cutting edge to prevent digging
Good luck jeff

I also have the AE11 for my JD 3320 - I haven't added the lines for hydro-angling and don't want to pull from the tilt lines due to high/low surfaces that I need to adjust for. However, I have had some success using the float feature of the loader on the paved driveways and roads. Works OK on gravel road. I usually leave it straight for cleaning up corners and moving snow higher up the piles. Rear blade does most of the snow pushing. Skid shoes on both blades.

I love the extra reach the extended AE11 frame has except when needing to turn around in tight places (woods).
