Snow Attachments Snow Plow or Snow Pusher???

[bpattie]

you asked- you shall receive. FYI - this is a very old pic that many tbn'ers proabably saw already. Its halfway covered with snow from being used.

Anyway- I still have it and its just sitting waiting to be used again or taken apart for firewood. It didnt take me long to make it, probably a few hours and some screws.

very ingenious RadioMan. and if it didn't work all that well it is still pretty inexpensive to construct. long time ago when I actually had a concrete driveway I used a scrape piece of maybe 4X3 1/2 inch plywood as a snow pusher for those little 2 inch snowfalls. made quick work of cleaning the short drive. I had to keep it pretty clean as it was on the North side of house and had a pretty good incline. so it didn't melt well and if iced up made it a little harder to get up the drive.

I vote for plow. Pushers are really designed for parking lots where you don't want to create ridges behind parked cars.

Made this one for the BX2360 this summer will see snow not to far down the road now. Also made the tph plow, both will do the 900' drive.

Looks to me like you cut a 45 gallon drum in half to make your snowblade....very good idea....Ampa.........

I have the option of building either and wanted to solicit some opinions. I kive in VT, where we get decent snowfall every year. I have a Kioti DK40se with a quick attach bucket. I have a rear remote, which I guess I could use for some sort of angle possibility for a plow, but likely I would build it with a manual angle.

Any thoughts?

Without knowing how your driveway is layed out and your plowing pattern it is hard to make a suggestion.

I suggest a plow. The trip springs give extra protection and angling is better than no angling.

I used a pusher box on my Case backhoe in big corp center parking lots, that's where the pusher box really shines. They're great for stacking snow.

How about a pusher with trip springs?

Never saw one. Does it have a relief valve?

 

[Duffster]

Never saw one.

Not in your 25 years of experience.

Doesn't need one, duh!

It was a JOKE made about your relief valve obsession. DUH

Nope. Everyone I ever used just replaced my backhoe FEL bucket or clipped on the front of my backhoe FEL bucket.

Maybe one exists, but I've never seen or used one.

Maybe one exists, .

Yup, just one.
