Here is my low cost snow plow. I took an old 6 foot Western snow plow ($100), welded up a bracket and mounted it to the frame of the loader (after I removed the loader). Rather than running the hydraulics off the tractor, I used the plow mounted hydraulic pump and simply wired in a control switch running to the battery. The plow works great and is not so far out in front like the loader mounted plows. Does everything I need to do.
