Finally finished my loader mounted snowplow when I added power angle (i've been using last couple of years with manual angle); its an old 78" Meyer plow I bought locally off eBay for $50; I sandblasted and painted it a couple years ago; bolted a 3/8" steel plate to the back of the bucket and welded brackets to the plate that matched the mounting holes in the plows A-Frame pivot; i used some ideas from the forums and a Universal 3rd function Diverter Valve (Universal Third Function Diverter Valve Hydraulic Kit, Less Hoses) on my loaders up/down circuit; I also built a ballast weight using plastic 55gal drum, cut down to ~30 gal for the weight I wanted on the back. I purchased Cat1 drawbar, Cat1 toplink adapter and a 2" receiver (so I can still move trailer with weight mounted) and welded them all together using some scrap rebar I had lying around to reinforce the concrete. I'd been mounting my backhoe for ballast when the plow was mounted, but it was a pain having that on the back and maneuvering around; We just had our first (early) 14" snowstorm and I gotta say I love power angle!!!
