BFreaky,
I just went threw the whole post. I would like to commend you for your enguinity. You are doing the most with what you have, and this is a good exemple to serve. Thank you for sharing, and diligently posting your projects, and all the good help you bring as well to us all here on T.B.N.
I am a little intrigued by the angle of the trip blade. To me, it looks way too steep(ie:cllose to beeing at a 90deg. angle), as I think it will want to shear anything in its way. The way your tractor 3pt front mount is set-up, in combination with the plow, is there any provision for "float" mode?
I also understand, that for "leveling", your set-up will work well. But again, the angle of attack of the trip edge could benefit better if it was at a gentler angle.
For snow pushing, I will suggest you add removable side plates("ears"), to contain the snow, so you maximize each pass, with verry little spill-over.
So this is my :2cents:insight on a very very good fab project. And like many of us, I will follow your next one!:thumbsup:
Cheers!:drink:!

Well...actually this turned up as a great angle for snow cleaning applications. Dirt moving requires something else, different angles and different bending radius. Here I use a 75 degree angle. Skid shoes maintain the float.

Are you sure that you didn't take the pictures at a factory? ? I'm thinking you are taking some manufacturers credit on this. JokingFinished
But beyond amazing work my friend

I'm just seeing this. Apparently you have skills beyond the normal tractor human. I am curious as to how you rolled the mold board for the plow or did you purchase this part pre made?
