What is the provision for lateral yaw float?

There is none. I thought hard about adding that in to the mount, but my last "V" didn't have that and I really "horse" my plows later on in the season pushing the banks back that can get very hard & icy. Now if I had a machine shop tools I'd be tempted to put a very heavy center pin for a few degrees of lateral rotation. Now I'm limited to some heavy wall DOM tubing and a 1" or there about bolt. I did that on a straight blade I built a few years ago and it performs well, just not sure if it would be the same on a "V" blade.
Here's a few pics of that one, look for the nut/bolt in the center.

GAPROPERTY,

How does that HLA1000 feel on the 3000 series Kubota? 20" height and 400 lbs I was wondering if it felt like you can easily bend it.

Does the HLA have Vertical Float? Using a snowplow on a loader is tough as it is hard to find the correct angle every time you drop the blade to the ground. Lots of vertical float is important to help keep the stones on the driveway.

Took the loader off after cleaning the garage enough to have access to where I wanted to put it. I've tried and tried to have it on wheels, and can't seem to figure it out. Last year I drug it by hand sideways about 8', and that SUCKED. So I figured out how to put it where I want to from the other end of the garage. MUCH nicer...

Then I put the stupid subframe on and the blower on. I hate that subframe.
I still have to put on the chains (which I also hate doing) & put down my floor-protecting mats.

I hated the sub frame too. After doing it a few times it got easier. Now takes me 1/2-3/4 of an hour to take front end loader off and install sub frame/blower. Once on, I enjoy blowing snow in the comfort of my heated cab.

My cab isn't heated, nor enclosed, but yeah.....
It went on super easy this time. Biggest key is to put the back on first with the drawbar. The frame was on a harbor freight dolly, and it all just worked. Same with taking the loader off (then I plug the hydraulics into a bleeding bank I made so I can burp it before re-attaching). I did all of it in probably an hour, with some random monkeying around included in that. So much better and less swearing than years past.
