I have a Titan 6 foot front plow on a TYM 394. Love the set up. I plow cautiously but have not had any problems.
Snow Blade mounting a snow blade on a front end loader

We are considering a FEL quick attach plow on a Mahindra 1533 (34 hp) tractor. We have 1/2 mile driveway, mostly stone, not a lot of shoulder in some parts. Also in some areas plowing to the left shoulder would be best, and other areas the right shoulder would be best. We're considering a v-shaped plow which would in theory eliminate the need to tilt the blade from left and then to right, and in theory eliminate the problem of torque on the loader arms. We only need 6-7 feet of cleared path-enough to get a pickup through. Has anybody used a plow with a slight v-shape to spread the snow on both shoulders simultaneously. Seems like it would take less hp and put less stress on everything. We're not interested in dealing with hydraulics and the thing needs to be quik-attach compatible. Would appreciate comments/advice. THANKS

A fixed V plow isn't going to be real handy when you need to push the banks back.
Only clearing 6-7 ft doesn't give you much room for turns for the pickup.

Depends how much snow you get;what happens if you can't push it?The hydraulics are simple.

My plow tilts but I have parking area for my Notary business so I just plow with the blade straight. Works fine for me.

I have a 7 foot blade off of an old case SC tractor front end loader. On the old' case it angled and plowed snow for 40 years and that poor loader frame shown it. I inherited it and mounted it to the 790 but made it a straight blade. Tractor loaders aren't really made for the sideways strain like an angle blade puts on them.

I have had four tractors with blades on the fel for snow plows. The first was a 28hp challenger with a converted 8' fisher plow. The second had the same plow and was a 33 hp challenger tractor. Both handled straight plowing great. Pushing to the side pushed the tractor. Both had R4 tires, loaded and chains on the rear. The next was a Kubota L4240 with R4 tires loaded and chained on the rear. After a couple years with the same plow I upgraded to a HLA 7' plow. This was a nice plow and worked very well. Last year I took a leap and traded up to a Kubota M7060 with loaded and chained tires on the rear. I also had the front tires studded. Due to the size of the new tractor the plowed was undersized. I went up one class of HLA and to a 9' wide plow. This is quite a tractor/plow combination. It is still pushed sideways, but only with heavy wet snow over 8" deep.
There is a realistic opportunity to bend the arms if the fel if the plow is overworked or maybe after many years of service.

There is, yeh. I was catching shade from some tbn people about building my little snow plow, "it's gonna be a pretzel the first time you use it". Yeh well, I'd rather my plow take damage before my loader arms do. And btw, plow works fine.
