Snow blade on bucket/front end loader

[winddance]

I thought I would post this in case anyone was interested. I have a Kubota BX1860 with a front end loader and snowblower. But I noticed it was much easier to plow 6 inches or less of snow with the snow blade on my ATV. It worked so well I added a removable snow blade to my bucket. Contrary to the naysayers on the web, this works even better than the ATV!

The most important part of the mounting is to have a long bolt with a spring on it in the front of the mount. This not only allows the blade to float over the bumps in the driveway, but reduces the bouncing of the blade when the scoop is lifted.

Could you post a picture without snow in the bucket? I don't understand your point about the spring.

Im curious to know whats holding the blade in place inside your fel? Are their brackets underneath it?

You may find when it comes time to plow the heavy wet snow,back of the blade touching corner of bucket for support blade at 45 degrees.

winddance,

How about some pictures WITHOUT the snow in the bucket ? Also, how wide is the blade, and about how much did it cost? Just asking, as I am on a VERY low fixed income and would like to try to find something around here like that.

Plow blade on the FEL is the best thing I've done in ten years ...
