- 1984 Kubota B7200D (Sold 2015,) 2005 L39 Kubota, 2006 RTV 900 1997 Komatsu PC75UU2E w/ Thumb & Blade, 2013 Mahindra Max28XL Shuttle
I snow plow with an L39 with an 8' Fisher commercial plow on the loader.
The tractor with ballast and plow and other ballast weighs about 8,300 lbs. I have double HD chains on the rear, so mostly I plow in 2WD.
The tractor for it's weight is underpowered, even with the fuel turned up a bit, so I'm not looking for pushing traction. It will push a huge amount of snow.
My problem is steering, especially with the plow at full angel, as the wheelbase is short, and the R4's have little grip.
I wonder if these would work on the front for steering without beating up the front axle?

Anyone have experience with these or have any good ideas?
Thanks
