Snow Attachments snow removal

[PROFarms]

hi there, i have got a Yanmar 169d which is 4wd. lately i have had a LOT of snow and my current home-made plow cant really cope very well. any suggestions for what to use as we are due another ft in the next few days.

Are you thinking of making another plow or buying one?

 

[PROFarms]

I would probably buy one. Any suggestions on size type etc???

 

[rubes2311]

Im not too sure sorry im 15 I just use the bucket to remove snow.

You could buy a quick attach for a fel if you have a fel on your tractor.

I'm only 14 actually but do loads out on the tractor. We don't have a fel on the tractor which is at home at the moment but someone borrowed it off of us just before the snow and now he is anowed in and we can't get it back

We do have front linkage for the front which I madeand was going to try to make another Plow for that tomorrow cause its too late tonight now - and it's still snowing hard!!

Try using an old hot water heater to make a curved plow

Sounds like you need a 3pt. hitch snowblower.

 

[rubes2311]

Or a 3ph grading blade

 

[PROFarms]

yeh i have been looking at them but they are quite expensive ( over £1000) and really my budget is around £750

 

[rubes2311]

Are you looking at used or new? Im in Canada and im not sure how much 1000€ is sorry

You probably will want a 5ft blade. A used rear snowblower may be another option. Do you have a loader?

 

[PROFarms]

its around 1500 CAD
got one sorted now - took an old oil drum and used that

Good idea you think like I do
