New plough

Recommended Posts

Wheel horse ploughs are hard to come by in the UK, so we thought we'd make something else fit.

My son bought a plough cheap at a show, finally got round to modifying it to clevis mount.

Firstly making the mount from a few chunky bits of metal from Doug

And then making the handle

Actually set it at the side of my mahoooosive wheel horse 12" plough...

Other than size the geometry is about the same :)

It fits perfectly, just needs a rock shaft and lift mechanism....

Cue big piece of flat bar, made to fit around the bits in a C121

And a new homemade rock shaft and bushes

Works perfectly :D

Ewan will be pleased

Clever idea using a solid bar instead of a lift cable.  :thumbs:

Thanks

Here's a quick build thread...

That bar can lift 200lbs and allows downforce too :D
