snow plow for my new holland tz25da

[rrasi]

Hello I am looking for a snow plow for my tz25. I have a bush hog front end loader on now. I would be open to a snowplow that mounts onto the loader or one that mounts to the tractor with the loader off. I don't think bush hog makes any.
What snowplow would work good on my plow?

Any ideas?

not a whole lot of feedback here guys... what kind of plow can i get for my tractor?

A lot of people fabricate their own mount onto the bucket, Some use bobcats quick attach set up. It depends if you want a plow that angles - then you need a hydraulic hookup. If your plow sticks out a bit and you run it at an angle, you need a heavier tractor to keep the front end from sliding sideways. I find that I need chains on my rear wheels when there is any kind of ice. I have a manual 30hp TC30 and it pushes a 7' plow easily. I cut the mount from a snowbear snow plow and bolted it into my bucket. I leave it on all winter.

Plowing without a cab is cold. You might think about that. With a rigid plow it takes longer than with a plow that angles.
Here is my setup.View attachment 333046 The plow swivels forward and backwards and has 2 springs the cutting edge works against, The chain hanging down unhooked from a spring. I don't much use skid plates- have them, but it is just easier to tilt the bucked and give the plow a nice angle. Once I have it- I leave it until I'm done.

I looked your tractor up- 7' might be big, maybe a light weight (one of the snowplows they are making for the newer trucks with lighter front end suspension) Snowbear (Canada) sells a range of snow plows. 5' or 6' plows might be good. Measure the outside width of your back tires for your minimum size plow. Buy a plow and have a welder adapt the mount for your bucket. Another option would be to put a grader blade on the back and keep your blower on the front. Best of both worlds.
Here is an old post I did.

Good luck.

Snowplows cost big $$$ if you want new or want one that can hook up to your tractor or loader without any modification on your part. Likely looking at $3000+ for a plow. Thats why most people make their own mount, so you can use a $200-$300 used craigslist plow.

And without knowing your location, how much snow do you get?? Light fluffy snow?? wet and heavy?? How much do you have to plow?? how often??

A $200 rear blade for the tractor, and the FEL is a good combination that is cheap and effective for a small driveway a few times a year.

I had the 60 inch front blade with the quick hitch for my T1010 which is the same tractor just a year newer. Loved it. I ended up trading it in when i traded in the T1010 for the T1110. I wish i had kept it. It worked great for snow. They are pricey but in my opinion it was well worth the money. New Holland still has them and i'm guessing a dealer could get one for you. I've only seen one for sale that was used which tells me hardly any were sold or people just don't get rid of them.

Had to do some googling. Look for new hplland 54cb or 60cb. U need the quick hitch too. I was fortunate to find mine used for a decent price. It was great in the snow. I just ordered a 60 inch front snowblower. Looking forward to using it this winter. Would buy the blade again but always wanted a front snowblower. If u have any more questions about it let me know. Thanks, Marty
