Recommendations wanted - 9 foot plow project

[DK35vince]

That's just about it but my barrel has 800 lbs and the tires are filled. I did weld a bar through the barrel in case I want to add some barbell weights to either side. But I believe what I have is perfect with this plow. I have been plowing through 5+ feet of snow 100' out in horse fields without issues. I have to do the normal lift up and over about half way out but I would still have to do that with the bucket as well. The plow is just much wider and quicker. I am still waiting for some wet snow though to get a true picture of what it will do. But in now way have I been abusing the tractor at all.

It will work fine.
I've been running a 9' snow plow on my DK 35 for several years now. No problem..

Your tractor does better than my 10k tractor with rear chains and a 7' bucket. I had a hard time the other day plowing thru 12-18" of untouched snow since december

Snow that hasnt been touched for 2 months isnt the easiest thing to plow. Sunlight hitting it and a few warm days turn it into hard icy snow that is loke concrete

We have about 24" of snow up in the maple bush this year, all very fine corn snow. No crust at any depth so I have been opening up our trails for sap by plowing and snow bucket. I can drive the tractor thru it instead of packing it down with skidoo or ATV with tracks. On level ground I have no problem pushing a 7' blade thru it with my 4300 and chains on all four....
