Snow plow frame and grill guard

[joes_427_vette]

Bought a 5' western plow with cylinders and a Kubota mount ( don't know what it fit but it has a kubota tag and serial number ) off the computer for $100. The stock JD models are only 54" wide and do not cover the wheel tracks of my 4110 when angled. I designed an under frame mount with some scrap pieces of iron and it turned out to be very functional. I mounted some work lites on the roll bar, now constructing a weight box for the rear to off set the plow weight.

Mornin Joe,
Hey that looks real good !!! Nice sturdy mount and that power angle looks great.

How much weight you gonna put on the back of the tractor ?

Hi Scott; I have some 2x2x 1/4" angle in the scrap pile. I welded two sections together approximately 13 x 25 in a rectangle. The plan is to flip the top one upside down and have slides on the side so I can add or subtract weight and keep it boxed in. Also use it on the TC 55 DA New Holland as a front weight. I have some bar stock that was cut in 2 foot pieces. For the 4110 I figured on starting at 500#. I have chains but if the weight box works out I may be able to get by without them.
