Snow Attachments snow plow and other questions

[farmyid]

I picked up a snow plow set up at a tag sale the other day that had been used as a over the bucket rig.It includes the hydraulic cylinders for angle change, springs to let it swivel down and the shoes or skids that space it from the ground plus a seperate frame that attached to the bucket. I have been told (and it makes sense) that it is much better to plow with the rig in place of the bucket rather than on the bucket and I plan on doing that on my Century c-50 loader (on a 3040) Does anyone have expierience with a good set up that works this way and can provide pictures?
What is a tip and tilt set up for a box blade and why are they useful? also one of the dealers I was talking to about my rocky (walnut to sheep size and on up to school bus) "soil" (or is that soily rocks?)
describes a "rock bucket" which is a sort of mesh bucket made of straps of metal with several inches in between to let the soil drop out. anyone seen one? I wonder if it might be usefull for me as I am getting stumps bulldozed out and it will leave many large stones to pick up
Thanks! Mark

I know of a few people that have just welded brackets into the bucket to hold the plow "A" frame and they have no problems with it. The nice thing is that if you get into trouble, you can just disconnect the plow and then use the bucket to clean out the mess and pull the plow out also. To me it seems a better way than to make up a hitch to replace the bucket and have to R & R the bucket each time you want to use the plow.
