SNOWPLOW L3010

[botaman2]

My valve is L2207 ,that does have the float function.Power down is also very nice for hard packed snow. I also mentioned,that I bought Kubota Q/D to fit the valve. I did this so that I would be able to switch between plow and loader without difficulty.(male end stays on the valve). Angle cylinders are 1-way,as you power one,the control valve lets the hydraulic fluid from the other bleed out. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Also forgot to mention,predrill everything that you possibly can off of the tractor,especially the loader x-member. On it,simply remove four bolts.Drill x-member,and rear angle iron and bolt them together off the tractor.Also weld up the stop piece to the front of the rear angle iron,this will make for perfect alignment. Also drill the rear angle iron holes slightly oversize for whatever size bolts you use.(I used 1/2" grd5).This will aid in installing and removing.Front and rear mountings were bolted into place ,stringers (2"sq. stock) were held up into position and tack welded in place.Whole sub-frame was then removed and finish welded.
