Don't listen to the haters you did a fine job, ever see a snow pusher blade wear out. You and I both know that chain lift is an old design that allows a plow to lift and float connected to a truck, cutting edge is cutting edge.
Looking good I've got a compact tractor with loader its works pretty good for our small drive. looks like we're going to get decent storm this week. Stay warm and safe and God bless!
My idea was , use a chain and allow the blade to float. There is an important feature to the design. I put strong positive stop going up. I can then roll the blade mount forward until it hit the stop and then it scrapes. I have the best of both worlds in the design.
You will eat your trip edge and cutting edge more than normal A snow plow is designed to push snow not to be used as a scraper with down pressure To use as a scraper you need a bucket or a dozer blade Yes a dozer blade and a snow plow are different
How well do tracked skid steers run in snow? Some say they have terrible traction. Looking at buying a skid steer over a tractor. I find skid steers more versatile.
I have owned both, but I kept my skid steer. Its also heated with stereo so kind of spoiled. I also use a large snow bucket vs plow from titan attachments. The bucket doesnt dig into the dirt and floats way better. My skid has tires with serious chains and goes uphill very easy. I also have a blower too and stopped using the blower almost 95%. If it snows 3 feet in a single storm, its blower time. My neighbors skid with tracks are scary on the hillside.
Regular tracks, (CTL [Compact Track Loader]) typically have bad traction according to most people. However, MTLs (Multi Terrain Loaders) typically have much more traction in the snow than CTLs. I’m not sure how they compare to wheeled machines though.

Bucket float... Problem solved. Rarely even trips the edge. You realize Boss plow have engineered a plow for your vehicle to actually put down pressure. It's nothing new for a snow plow.
That sometimes works depending on the machine The snow plow in the video is a fisher not a boss And boss snow plows have a design flaw They can only be dropped as far as the hydraulic cylinder will allow Have seen problems with lifted trucks with boss snow plows mounted You don’t need to go that far with a snow bucket or a non fixed snow plow
Also don’t needed to use bucket float on my skid steer snow plow isn’t fixed to the frame it moves up and down on two pins separate from the machine attachment plate
That made light work of that... all I have is a quad with a small home owners plow for almost 5 acres.. takes a few hrs and alot of tail chasing

Thanks for the video! This makes this same idea I’ve been having easier to understand how to go about it

@@doomman700
I learned from my father his first snow storm was the blizzard of 1978
Looks nice .. where did u buy the crossover valve ?? Model # ty
Surplus Center they're online, can also have them send you a printed catalog.
Anyone have a part number for that crossover valve?
@@williekaminski3705 I believe it's a Prince crossover valve from Surpluscenter.com
