Need input on snowplow

[Duffster]

It is a 85hp tractor.

The option of a grader would be ideal, but have you ever tried to get 15 property owners to agree, much less pay for something together?

Any suggestions on where to look to find a snow blade heavy enough to survive this kind of use over repeated seasons?

Here is another for you.

Thanks for all the input.

Any suggestions on what size blade to use? The bucket is 7' wide, I know the blade needs to be at least 8' to maintain tire clearance when it is angled. My concern is weather I should just go ahead and get a 10' blade to avoid sloughing and buying another blade.

I would go with a 8' or 8.5', 9' at the very most.

10' would be to much, especially on the FEL, IMO

I plow miles of big snow at 3300+ EL.

Tires/Wheels reversed to the widest possible position; makes for easier chain installs and removals and helps if you are on unlevel terrain.
