Snow V Snow Plow

[BobRip]

A friend just used two 6 X 6's angled to form the V with a piece across the back to form an A. You could make this a little wider than the PT, attach it to a two inch receiver and easily and cheaply connect it to a PT.

Actually a v plow works better than you might think. I had a plastic one that attached to the front of my van. It worked very well pushing snow. Just gave it to my son who had 20" of snow and he was very well pleased with it. I was thinking of making one out of 2 foot wide plywood and attaching it to the front of my blade just to make an initial cut down the the driveway

Any pics of these v plows? They sound interesting.

Studded chains would help a lot with a standard plow or V-plow. Even with them, my 7 1/2' blade will push me to the side sometimes but lifting the blade 1/2" usually solves that problem. The edge of the blade digging into the really hard packed snow (from being driven on by the cars) seems to be the cause. Just pushing against the snow itself even when deep does not usually throw the front of my tractor.

When I get that wet heavy stuff that sticks to the asphalt is when I get shoved side-to-side. If I have a base of packed snow, or it is really cold and the snow is powdery, then no problems with snow, even coming over the top of the plow.

We are supposed to get 6-12 tonight. Maybe I'll try some more plow videos!

That is the way they did it years ago using horses

Hi, MR. Well, I didn't get any calls from Roadway, Yellow Freight, etc. to tell me the V-plow was at their loading dock. Notwithstanding, it still snowed yet again here overnight and this morning.

Fortunately, this time 'round it was only 5-6", and I finished off the driveway in about an hour. I forgot how much fun using the blade can be. Maybe He just wanted me to feel better today, after getting dumped on several times already....you know....to get my spirits up before the next blizzard

I like the thought of the wooden V plow, but would it be strong enough? Perhaps 4 x 4's on the bottom with plywood on the front about 18 inches high. Then you reinforce the plywood with 2 x 4's. Our snow is mostly wet. Of course we don't get a lot of it (except this year).

Tracdoc,

Find the materials and bring them over. It can be your first welding project!

My guess is I would bust it hitting a frozen rock or something.
