I only built the "wings", and was at an advantage as the plow was built for add on wings (the mounting provisions were there). I had never used a pusher before and was amazed how effective they are plowing an open area.

I Like this one but it won't fit in my barn.

We use snow pushers at work where we have a huge parking area. They work well!
I had a chance to buy a 4' snow pusher for my BX2200 for cheap, but I didn't get back in time. Some one snatched it up before me.
If I had time this summer I would've gotten crafty and made one for the BX.
Though, I got a nice snow blower on it. But eh, what's one more attachment?

RUSTY, that is crazy kool... i like that...!!!! Seeing yours, now i know i can finally do somethin with one of my old 54in JD blades...!
The price of these snow pushers are quite a bit salty for my taste, for what your getting. I guess your buying the convenience factor.
This is why i decided to post something to see what you guys are building... gives me ideas..! THANK YOU...!!!!!

I have not used a normal rigid pusher and this one being able to angle is nice especially "sweeping" into a pile.
THATS exactly what i`m talkin about...!!! A snow pusher that can angle, AND sweep, is a snow pusher that WORKS....!

I cheated and started with a 10' plow.
It works pretty well but I need to modify it to float and follow the ground a little bit. It is a ridgid mount currently and I pick up quick a bit of dirt and grass with it. I have only used it up to about 8" so far with no issues.

PaPow these pics show the (std. factory) mounting points. They sell the end plates as an option but I did not see the use of them until years later. I very much underestimated how much snow they can carry. These are obviously removable but I like it so much for certain areas like my pretty big firewood area along with all around the shop building that I keep them on and built another angle plow for the driveway plowing. This particular blade is a "trip edge" type and the tripping action is fully functional with the end plates, although I don't remember ever tripping it. It may be the skid shoe's on the end plates.
THAT my friend, WILL move some snow..!
Rusty, that is a really sweet pusher. So are those side plates original to/for the plow or did you build those... i like how they`re made. I think if that were my rig, i think i would add a top plate back scraper cutter to the front leading edge so that you could flip it forward and get up close to back drag with it in close quarter areas.

I built them, "Pusher box's" were a new thing when I bought the plow and I could not imagine that they (pusher box) would carry anywhere near the snow that they are capable of. After some years went by and watching them work I just built them. As for back dragging with a bar across the top, being a traditional (angling) plow it is about 6-7' tall vertically with the wings and my hose's would have to be much longer and be troublesome keeping them out of the way while ''flat'' plowing. I have another plow or tractor/ss buckets for clean up. If it were "tight in" non angling pusher I'd definitely want that backdrag bar :thumbsup:

You do absolutely NICE work my friend...!
Jay, i hope you do this for a living, if not, thats a awesome talent going to waste when you could be making some serious cash flow.
OMG Nice job...!!!
You guys have got some great talent and SERIOUSLY nice pushers here...!
Hopefully some more folks will come in here and post some of THEIR snow pusher builds.
You`ve ALL inspired me to get of my butt and build one.
I`ve got most of the material to build one, i just need some more pictures for more ideas.

Thank you. I'm actually a carpenter by trade. But I enjoy working in many mediums.

That bottom trip edge would be easy for flip up wings for angle plowing. I had to do some extra thinking on my pusher project to allow the wings to move up if the plow tripped forward. Thread on my project-pics are gone but you tube vids are still intact.

Obviously, you need a bigger barn.
I just got my snow blade, mounting it this next weekend. If I can figure out how to post pictures to this forum, I shall do so. But, compared to what you guys are using, it's small. 60" on my Ford 1210
