Snow plow adapted to the FEL

[Builder]

Thank you my friend. I dont blame you for taking the easy way out. I would have went that way as well but I already had the plow and might not have got much for it if I sold it. It works well and is set up the way I like it and if some breaks I can repair it easy enough.
That a grat looking machine you have there. I bet you like that blade. I like the fact the snow don't stick to it. Does yours ave the skid steer hook up? I was looking at one from Arctic a few years ago for a skid steer but it didn't have a linear movment in it so I backed away.

I'd love to build a protective unit for your unit. That would be such an interesting job. A few weeks ago I was chatting to a implement builder in Quebec. They are a large company and they asked me if I'd be interested in working for them. Although I was humbled that they asked me i would have had to move to Quebec ad that wasn't going to happen. Not while I still had a pulse anyway :laughing:

Here's the blade I was looking at a few years back. Thanks again for your kind comments on my work.



Arctic Snowplows - Heavy Duty Skid Steer Trip Edge Poly [HDSSTE-P]

I ordered their 8' skid steer version. The quality is pretty high. So far so good. The galvanized finish is really sweet. I wouldn't do it any other way.

On the forrestry unit: My idea is a protective "halo" that encircles the plastic lid on the cab and the lights, then a flip down mesh wired front & rear windshield protector that flips up and lays on top of the cab lid when not in use.

Looks do-able. I just don't have the time. I'd like to do it in aluminum to get rid of top-heavy weight and any type of future repainting.

Let me know when you're ready to build prototype. I think they'd sell well, right here on TBN.

Man that would be an interesting build. I'd enjoy that. If I had a unit in my yard to use for fit and finish I'd do it. Aluminum is the way to go. The tip up/down window guards sound very doable. I don't know about you but the way my builds go I start off with a basic design and get all kinds of ideas as I get along with the project.
If I see your kind of tractor at my dealer I might be able to borrow it for a few days
To bad you wern't next door. Your tractor would have it on this week. I'd never try and sell anything on here. I had one member give me a hard time because I was posting photos of my tractor with my company's name and phone number on it. I can't imagine what he'd say if he thought I might sell something on here.

I have a good idea what he would say; but a nice big cup of STFU seems to keep him fat, dumb, quiet, and happy. Well I'm sure he's already fat and dumb, so adding quiet and happy is doubling his value.

OH come Matt. Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think of him.

Unfortunately, it always one or a few losers who ruin it for everyone.
What does hands-on experience matter when you can quote specs from the comfort of your computer? :laughing:

Unreal that someone did that to you. I come to this website to read what maybe 10 of the thousands write here. You, Lone Cowboy, FWJ, are 3 of those few. It's a shame blowhards like that discourage the few like you who really know something from wanting to offer products, services, ideas.

If I do I'll fail my anger management class. :laughing:

Thanks my friend for the nice comments. It's never nice when someone goes in attack mode putting down your machine and the lettering that's on it. He even went to far as to put down some of the tooling I use.

The lettering is on the tractor for one reason only and that's to advertise locally. I truly doubt that someone in Upstate NY is going to see the number on the machine and call Newfoundland to get there driveway cleared :laughing:

When I post my work on here it's never to brag or boast. It's never to promote a product because all my mods are mostly "one offs". I post this stuff to share my thoughts and ideas with all the great members that's on here. I'll admit sometimes my ideas are over the top but I post them anyway as I did when I posted the custom cup holder.

This is without a doubt the best tractor site on the net and I'm not letting one guy rune it for me and it was only one guy since 2008 when I joined that treated me like that. Maybe he got issues none of us are aware of. I always say "Live, Learn and forgive". I really appreciate your comments. Thanks again!

If I do I'll fail my anger management class. :laughing:

Oh man you were holding back! Stay in class :laughing:

Thanks Paul. Words to live by! :thumbsup:

I can't imagine any any issues with you profiting from participation in the site

Is there a rule against it?

Great plow by the way

Thanks Joel. The closest I've ever come to advertising was posting a photo of my tractor with the company name and number on it. It was never my intention to advertise in any way on here and it's really been only one member accused me of it. No where on any of my posts will anyone see any of my work for sale. Not even a hint of it.
That all being said, what keeps this site going is the paid advertising you see on here. That's the income that keeps the site up and running and I understand that very well.

The only time I've done any work for members on here was a few times I knew the member was having a rough time and asked them to send me the part and to be totally honest I didn't even charge them. One member I even paid the shipping back to him. We all need a helping hand at times in our lives.

Thanks for commenting and I'm glad to hear you like the plow :thumbsup:
