8' hydraulic angle snow blade on a reversible Antonio Carraro TTR4400HSTII works great with floating 3 pt arms. Selling the tractor and now looking to use this setup on front of UW53 Toolcat. Toolcat has floating arms similar to a FEL but concern is the weight on the plow when gravel roads are NOT frozen. Snow blade on the tractor 3pt arms is very light on the shoes and works great in these conditions. While these arms are not huge, the weight and the high pivot point are less desirable than floating at the bucket pivot.
I know that I could switch to a floating plow design, like a truck mount, but I have this plow and it isn't a floating design. Seems like someone would have done this?
Wondering if anyone knows (has experience with) float function possibly added to the bucket hydraulic circuit? I envision a solenoid valve that would simply "open the circuit?" and allow the bucket only (or snow plow) to float. I have an advanced hydraulic company in my hometown that can help with parts but I wonder if anyone has tried this?
