SSQA plow

[chuck172]

I'm looking for an old plow to weld on a ssqa plate and mount to the loader arms. How will the hydraulics work? Do I just connect the loader curl lines to the plow angle cylinders?
Would I be better off using the rear remotes?
I have a Kioti ck35.

I have pondered this for my tractor, and figured I would use my rear svc. to power the angle. If you disconnected the curl cylinders, there would be nothing holding them in position. The only thing keeping me from building a pusher as you're inquiring about is I'm not certain how well the loader would handle the offset push of an angled plow...they're not really meant or built for a lot of side force to begin with, and the added angle that force will be coming in from kind of has me concerned. Wouldn't want to break my loader arms or worse, one of the castings on my rig just to find out either. If I do it, it'll probably be with a set of Q.A. plates welded directly to the plow blade with wings welded on the sides to capture the spill, as the bigger(and also more expensive) factory built snow pushers have. If you do it, post pics of the results. Good luck!!!

I ran a pair of lines to one of my rear remotes. I have an SSQA V-plow that uses a sequencing valve to obtain V, left, right, and scoop positions with just one remote, and it is still possible to set any intermediate position (straight, slight angle, etc.) Pretty slick.

Also, there have been numerous threads covering the concern about stress on the loader arms from plowing. Nobody seems to have damaged their tractor snow plowing with an SSQA plow.

From past threads I was really under the impression that this type of setup simply uses the loader curl circuit to angle the plow. Raising and lowereing, with float is already piped to the loader arms.

I believe your right.

I'm just curious how the plow would be prevented from rolling forward under it's own weight with the curl cylinders disconnected...

What if you connect the loader curl cylinders to the snowplow angle cylinders to control them? That's how I thought everyone does itl

What keeps the carriage assembly at the end of the arms from rolling then? That's the job of the curl cylinders. If they're not connected to the carriage assembly and the loader arm, what is to stop the whole assy. from rolling forward?

I'd like to know the answer too! Maybe others will chime in!
