EB ended up with them and was asking how they mount. I am sure they will get a work out up there. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 9,093 #7 Posted June 17, 2023 I guess they work, I don't trip much. Probably cut those top slots a little longer if need be?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayGee 1 #15 Posted August 12, 2023 Are you still using the MANUAL lift for the snow plow or have you modified it to Hydraulic or Electric lift? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 2 tractors that can be setup for snow/dirt dozers. I used to use a 48" plow with no extra weight or wings. That can be easily lifted with the Manual Lift. Last year I swapped over to a Hydro/Automatic Tractor with a monster plow that has a 1/2" thick - 60" wide skid steer blade on it. The cutting edge ALONE weighs about as much as a whole 42" plow assembly. THAT'S the beast I'm adding the side wings too. You bet it has Hydro Lift!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 75,044 #17 Posted January 24, 2024 Got a set of brackets in the post yesterday. I'll use these to bolt the side plates on to my 48" plow blade.

ebinmaine 75,044 #18 Posted 3 hours ago Well. Here we are almost 2 years later. I've been using my 60" wide @wallfish -bilt plow for a few seasons. Works great but I wanted to try something a little different this year. Like any plow, the snow windrow escapes the tailing edge. Obvious. But it also escapes the forward edge. This year I'll have the above SUPER SCOOPER!! This should allow me to grab a half width or so of snow and just push it right in to the forest. The brackets in the previous post weren't quite wide enough because of interference to the plow frame bracing. I used a set with double holes per side but bolted only one hole 🕳 per. If the side scoops are flappity then I can add more bolts 🔩 or even consider a couple 45⁰ top braces. The 42" wide moldboard I chose is in really tough shape. Severely worn on the bottom and bent at the top. For those reasons I didn't feel too awful bad about drilling it. If this experiment goes well in principle I can consider using a 48" wide set-up. Here's the pics... now for some snow!! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
