With 300' of private drive to take care of and plow the snow I have used the bucket and 6' back blade for the last 8 years but when there is a foot of snow or better and it sets up I need to push through the bucket first than work on it with the back blade. So I took a ATV snow plow mount with a 6' blade and fitted it to the front bucket.

Now this should keep the snow away this year.

I also like to think that everything can be streamlined....that setup should be easy to remove, if you need to push back snow banks.

Going to lot easier on your neck,also less bucket work when making higher snow banks.

I have a front mounted snow blade on my FEL arms. You'll love it! Welcome to TBN! :thumbsup:

Yes everything is set up so the blade can be removed in the time it takes to remove the ratchet straps. I went with the ATV plow for its light weight total weight is less than 100lbs and easy to slide on and off.

Never heard of a SNOWBLOWER
Nothing beats that when snow is involved...either front mount or 3 point hitch :thumbsup:

Depends on the snow and how much. Plows are faster, but have limitations.

Nice work 1523playtoy. Just becarefull as I am sure the tractor has more.pushing force than an ATV.

Just curious, what's going to keep it from pivoting when one side is loaded more than the other or you catch an edge?
