Not plowable. But pretty...

My spouse’s favorite. She calls it picturesque and then asks if the road are good for driving!

Have any dirt roads?  Never known a road commission that could properly grade a road yet!  Just put on a neon yellow vest and hard hat   If anyone asks?  You tell them simply " budget cutbacks"

Good idea ,  keep a look out for my pic at the post office if it doesn’t work out

I flipped the cutting edge on one plow this weekend. 

I plan on using this one for the scooper. 

 

For now it rests nearby my '75 C160 Automatic.

Quite unexpectedly, we had a couple of very heavy snow showers blast through this afternoon where I’m visiting my daughter and SIL south of Lowell MA. Way too warm for sticking but it looked very pretty and left my car very wet!

Sounds like typical NC snow!

We're gonna need some videos of that in action!!!

 

Afterthought Edit: Kinda negates the trip springs, I imagine

There's a slot in the sides that could permit some trip movement or pivoting of the sides. 

I'm choosing to leave them firmly bolted in place for now. 

 

Likely look at bracing options tomorrow.

You could always weld 2 rods on each backside. The bottom hole circular to match rod diameter. Top hole slotted arc to allow the side panels to float with the terrain. 

Washers (or plates?) and pins for easy removal.

The plates themselves are very strong. My concern is the attachment point where they bolt to the plow. 

I'm thinking about getting a corner brace from approximately 12" out from the plow and brace making a triangle 🔺️. Simple strap steel. 

 

The terrain float isn't likely to be a huge issue. Our driveway surface is pretty flat.
