DOZER/SNOW BLADE DIFFERENCE

[dmoore 687]

Since I wasn't raised up around the Wheel Horse tractor can someone explain the difference between the snow & dozer blades, if there is one? Thanks! :thumbs:

They are the same thing. Where I am from they are called snow plows or plows. But plows can be confused for a garden or moldboard plow.

Yes the front blades can be called both, but there are different styles of the snow/dozer blade to fit the diff. years and models of tractors, the one that fit's your tractor is the most common, and MANY years will fit.

what are the differences in the styles?

I am currently looking for one as well for my C160. I am looking for it to move some dirt around.

Also I saw some video's on youtube with people with hydro lift they can really put the down force on the blade to scrape. I have a manual so no hydro, will it still be able to scrape dirt around as well?

thanks

why yes, yes you can scrap dirt no problem, might take a pass or two but my little B-80 manual don't mind a bit. although now the dang lift handle keeps falling out, need to find out how to fix that, but it does still work.

it took a few passes to get the gravel gone, but was able to start digging in the dirt with no problem.

i also leveled a bunch of ruts in the back yard with it, just put a bit of weight on the blade, made it harder to lift but it helped.

there was a much larger rise in the drive before i started
