hydraulic wing snow pusher

And a picture of the wing folded 180 degrees back.

Lookin good. That wing looks to be 1/2" plate!
You guy's up there getting any snow? I see your groomer in the background. Not any real snow here since thanksgiving.

3/8" actually. Still way too heavy, I think 1/4" would have been more than sufficient.
We have bare ground now. Had a total of maybe 8" down this year but lost it all last weekend when the Temps got up to 50°. Putting new cutting edges on the groomer in hopes that we still have some more winter to come.

Let's hope so!

She looks good and solid, toxic.:thumbsup:
Ya, maybe 1/4" would have been just as good.
Looking forward to see it mounted.

Finally done! Well sort of, done enough that I get to try it out and see what changes need to be made. Just in time too as they're calling for 3 storms this week starting with 12-15" tomorrow. Backdrag position.

Straight out.

And as a pusher.

Looks mean....:thumbsup:

It came over very nice! I'm a little apprehensive about no trip at all,I know what you said about the bucket,I would still like a safety so god forbid it doesn't trash your plow or tractor,and slam you in the steering wheel..

Very nice! I would add a double cross relief valve to the hydraulics. You will probably use the wings a lot extended forward-outwards to maximize pushing capacity vs width, and its very easy to catch a curbstone and bend the cylinder. Dont ask me how I know...

Nice to see a Euro QA. How do you like it?

The euro QA is great. Much easier to use then the SSQA that was on my previous tractor.

I agree, but we are so used to hook&pin style QAs here so maybe we are partial. Bobcat skidsteers come with SSQA but I don't like it at all.

Drive carefully now with your new snow tool and take some photos.
