60'' snow blade ?

[deans]

I have just finished installing a 5' snow blade on the front of my Yanmar 155D , no snow yet and wonder if it might be to big for this tractor. Any thoughts, anyway Merry Christmas to all. deans

I don't know anything about snow, but if the blade is angled to move snow to the side, I would imagine the actually cutting width is only 3 1/2 or 4 feet. The YM155 came with a 38" or 48" bucket on its loader, so I don't see how it would be much different. It seems decently matched to me, in my desert rat's conception of how plowing snow would work! :laughing: Do you have any pictures? Did you fabricate the whole thing?

I have the Yanmar YFD-155 front dozer blade for the YM 155 and its blade is 4 foot wide. A 5 foot blade on a YM 155 still should easily push snow with tire chains.

With your blade angled, properly ballasted, and maybe even some snow chains I would say that you'd have plenty of power.

I to have a Doser/snowblade on my ym165d,which is the newer red version off your ym155.It's a 4 foot blade,but dose well.We just had a foot of snow here in Colorado,and I had no problem pushing this snow.I do have chains,I use to have calcium chloride in the rear tires but caused to much corrosion,and leaked.I have a 3 point weight on the rear now.

Did you manufacture that yourself, or did you buy it somewhere? Hoping the latter.. please let us know. Looking for a front blade.

sorry that I did'nt get back right away I was working.The snow plow was manufactured for yanmar .I'm the second owner,my neighbor bought it new in the early 1980's,it's a YFDH-155 dozer on a ym165d.This has hydraulic left & right and up/down.This year I installed quick disconnects on the hyd. so I can drop the plow Pete
