Snow Plow for Deere X300

[RBLapham]

My old Scotts tractor was getting weak in the trans so I purchased a wonderful John Deere X300. This meant all the attachments I had for the Scotts may not fit. Here I'll describe what I had to do to attach the Murray 24478B 46" Snow Plow to my X300.

Since the 44 inch Deere plow was $550 and lacked features I wanted like spring loaded trip if you hit something and angling the blade from the drivers seat; I decided to try to keep my old Murray plow. As it turned out it was really quite easy and only cost about $10 for some nuts and bolts

That was a very impressive post. Well done. Also liked the video. How big of a snow could the Murray handle?

I've done 12 inches, here in mid ohio we don't get a whole bunch. Like any plow it's do it more often if more snow. Didn't have a lot this year as the video shows. I'll update the video next year if we get a good amount.

Plowed without tire chains fine.
