JD 4320
I'm thinking about building a loader mount snow plow for my 4320 and am not sure what size to go with. The tractor would mainly be used in the Catskills where it's not uncommon to get 2' of snow over night. I was thinking about 7' or 8'. The tractor is 66" wide at the rear tires so either 7' or 8' angled would cover my tracks. Also, I was wondering what everyone thought about mounting the plow to the loader, especially when it's angled. Has anyone ever had any problems with the lateral stress on the loader frame?

Thanks

I can't remember if its JD or Frontier but 1 of them makes a front snow blade for the loader. its about $1600.00 with the hydraulic tilt. I want to say I thought it was 96 " long.

I hope this helps

I just picked up a frontier AL1684E 84" boom blade with power angle.It has the Quick attach design.I am taking it up to the JD dealer tomarrow to hook it up to my rear SVC control valve.It the only way to go.

Thanks for the replies. I guess the lateral force on the loader arms is not an issue. I think I'll go with 8'. The first pass in deep snow migth be a little hard, but I can always take smaller bites in subsequent passes.
