Would you show more pictures of how your plow is mounted in your bucket? The way I did mine didn't work out well, so I used the bucket almost exclusively this winter. TIA.

Could you elaborate some for us. Maybe we can sort out why it didnt go well for you.
Speaking from my experience. I mounted mine in the bucket and used the original mounting bracket that would have been on the pickup truck. and a chain to lift was attached to the top bucket hook. It was way out there. and I had to use allot of ballast. It worked but wasnt as good as I had wanted it.
the next year i got a adapter to take the bucket off and then mount other equipment on the loader.when I made the plate to mount the plow(fisher) I set it back under the plate and that brought the blade back considerably.
.Looking forward to why yours didnt go well..

I bolted frame to bucket,than plow frame slides between ears and pin,front of plate guide also less stress on plow frame when plow 45 degress.
Pull 2 pins plow free from bucket.

Finally caved in and bought a used Woods snow blower...an SS74.
These were taken just after clearing a couple 3-4 foot tall piles of frozen snow. Works good but casting frozen snow is a slow job...just got to let the blower do it's job and not force it.

I don't know about the rest of you but even with all the seat time and fun I have had plowing snow this winter enough is enough I'm ready for warm weather.

It beats mowing lawn and swatting mosquitoes.
Keep it coming is fine with me.

Looks like you have surprise for old man winter next time he decide to pay you visit Roy.
Cab? Plastic clear shield? Warmer suit or planning something else from the cold blow.

Hi Greg,
The warning light still goes on the plate on the ROPS. It (the light) is on a shelf right behind where I was standing when I took the pictures (when it's not on the tractor).
Happy? Yeah, I'd say so...
Might not get much use this year since Spring is coming in a few weeks...but one never knows. I would like to see one more 6-10 inch accumulation this year to really see how this thing works. I bought it now because we were supposed to get another storm...that storm is hitting PA and MD rather then the New England area (tonight into Monday).

now that you bought it...youll never see a lick of snaw again haha
Since last night, weve got 5" of new snow on ground. Supposed to keep falling till 10AM tomorrow. My question is...whan should i plow. Its been coming down steadily all day. hate to wait too long and get it too deep.....takes so much more time to move. But if i plow too soon, ill have to do it again..
Oh well, guess ill go watch TV instead

After this winter, that might be almost worth it!
I go out when it hits about 6-7 inches. It's easier on the equipment, IMHO.

Congrats Roy, now you belong to the 3 point snow blowers club,lol,lol. I'm glad you bought it so now we won't have anymore large snow storms this year right, so I can take my blower off?
