xuv snow plow pics

[a37b]

I just got my new plow for the xuv, had to try it out this morning. This thing really surprized me how well it plows without chains.
We have not had much snow this winter.
It was 5 degrees this morning and the heater works great, I had to take my coat off.

Very nice setup Mike.

I see your backup in the background.

It was 11 here this morning. No snow.

Thanks
It is a curtis heater, about half the price of the JD.
It also has a defroster vent that you install in the dash panel. It was pretty cold this morning but had no trouble keeping the glass clear of frost.

-8 Here at around 10 this morning. It's up to about 5 though. Small ammount of snow is all on the ground.

I thought about getting one of the curtis heaters and then just running as a hand warmer or something. Wish I had a cab.

Thanks Terry
That is my 4410 JD. It kind of gets neglected this time of year since I have the cab on the xuv. The xuv is quicker at moving snow than the tractor with box blade and front end loader. I think I could take the xuv to town and make some money plowing snow.

It is 13.6 here as I type this and I have no plans to go outside until it gets back up into the 20's.

That is a nice plow setup. If you don't mind could you tell me who made the plow and how much it cost? Thanks

Thanks Robert
It is an American Eagle, about 700.00 dollars,I wanted to get the JD plow but it was about double the money, for as much as I use it I couldn't justify the price difference.
That price included the winch.

MM: What is the website for that plow? I already have a winch. Do they sell only the blade and pivot hinges? Can you post a pix of the pivots where they attach to the Gator? That setup looks very slick using the winch to lift the blade. If the blade did bump something, the slack in the cable would allow the blade to jump up and then drop back down.

We got 2-3" of very wet snow here in western NC this week. I made a makeshift plow out of some scrap lumber and bolted it to the front of my tractor FEL. It worked OK, but the design would need to be improved if I used it on a regular basis. If I could make a plow for the gator, it would be better. No one is prepared for snow here because it happens so rarely. I plowed our 1.5 mile dirt road for all the neighbors. The main reason was to keep as much melting water off the road as possible for mud prevention reasons.

Is that blade heavy enough to grade a road or is it just for pushing snow?
