Hi there.
This year I'm stuck with FEL Bucket and Back-Blade for snow removal, but for next year I want to have the Backblade mounted on the FEL with a tilt funtion to allow me to shove the snow off to one side.
I just want to confirm one thing..
Most snowplows have a "trip" to protect the FEL when the plough snags on an unforseen obstacle... But I'm not sure I'll be needing one, and this is why.. I just want to make sure I'm thinking along the right lines.
1. I'll be using this on our driveway (dirt track about 150m in length) and there are no obstacles that could ever get in the way.
2. There are shallow ditches to either side of the drive: this means I'm going to be moving slowly - just incase snow-load becomes too much and I end up scooting off to one side.
3. I'll be running the blade on the slider-plates to ensure the bottom edge won't catch on the ground... I don't want to be removing my gravel/dirt.
So... in my mind, I have the perfect scenario for "not" tripping a plough.. besides, the usage is more as a pusher than a plough, and I aim to compliment it with a snow-blower.
Does that sound reasonable?
Cheers,
