ericj 1,576 #26 Posted November 15, 2018 When I was using my 99 314-8 I was down to using a 42" plow becuase of the front end push when angled. When I started using a 520 I started using a 48" all the time. Generally keep a plow on multiple tractors becuase I can, lol If we are getting a lite snow I've been known to slip a 56" plow on the front of the 520 or even a single cylinder tractor. calling for 1 to 3" in the morning, but, I've been working so many hours I don;t even have a plow on yet. Still trying to clean leaves. They are calling for it to change to rain by tomorrow evening so maybe it will all melt away. eric j 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #27 Posted November 15, 2018 With the 520 that have the swept forward front axle you really need the 48"+ width when angled so the snow isn't falling back under the tires but any thing other than that a 42" is fine, and like the xi series I fabbed up a front sway bar to help keep the plow frame from twisting in the axle bracket/hitch and allowing the angle lever to rub the belt guards or foot rest... 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My driveway/yard is very rough and that will help keep things lined up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 10,472 #29 Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) 54 inch on a 1054 Wheel Horse . I have used and owned just about every type snowplow/dozer blade Wheel Horse every made. My Lawn Ranger had one, I had a 1962 blade on a 633 my brother owns which I used one winter. I have used a 42 inch blade several years with my B-80 also. However, my favorite is the Wheel Horse RJ with 42 inch snowplow! Edited November 15, 2018 by Lane Ranger 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleat 4,936 #31 Posted November 15, 2018 All 6 of my hydro's are now foot control (the little 17-44HXL came from the factory that way) . Don't want to drive one any other way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHGuy413 2,506 #32 Posted January 4, 2019 George Hill has a monster snow plow. I believe around 66" wide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
