Hi,
I'm looking at getting a L3200. Commericial tractor snow blades are $$$ so I was hoping to make one as I did for my BX. A few questions...
1) If I get the QA do I want to keep the curl hyrdos hooked up when I plow? Will this make it harder to plow (especially if I'm on gravel 50% of the time)? On my BX I disconnected the curl and used the valve to power the blade hydro. I mounted a chain to the plow which connected to the loader beam and the weight of the plow kept it on the ground. Otherwise I would need to install a remote hydro.
2) If I build my own off an old truck plow would the QA make it harder to fabricate? I've attached a picture of a Curtis pin on (non QA) plow. I can't tell from the picture, but I'm assuming this needs a remote hyrdo for the plow?
3) Is 7.5 ft too big for this tractor? I'm planning on loaded turf tires. I've never needed chains while plowing my driveway with my BX, but now I will be plowing a 800ft dirt road.
4) Any reasonably priced commericial tractor blades out there?
Thanks!
