Speedco snow bank pusher

[Jw5875]

Well built this out of parts and pieces over the holiday's. Old Speedco quick hitch that I bought from TSC and really never used. It sat in the "Un-used "pile for several years, was going to sell it on CL or whatever.
Several beverages made the old mind creative so I put the machines in the shop to use!!!
Build me a front mount 3pt.
Now this is for pushing the snow banks back and not to use for regular plowing ---- Yeh no springs, overload loader arms blah blah blah
I measured the bucket bracket width and the pin spacing on the brackets.
Everything was made to fit on the ATI adapter I have.
Basics are:
Speedco hitch
3" C-channel
3/8" steel plate
1" cold rolled RB
1" black pipe for bushings
Tig, mig, stick welder
Lathe
Milling Machine
"Beverage"!!!!!!!!

Hope pics show!!

Nice:thumbsup:

nice build!

Cool.
Thats a lot of leverage on the FEL, so be careful.

 

[matoyan]

great idea

I have the same thoughts going thru my little head. Just hitting one solid object could ruin your day & tractor, but if you can be really careful, these have there place.

There is a reason front plows have trip springs.

Is there a way to go from one picture to another?

Is there a way to go from one picture to another?

I open each picture in a new tab.

I just use my loader bucket to push/remove the banks.

With pictures like these I right click and open each picture in a new tab. Then I can go back and forth looking at pictures. I'm using Google Chrome for a browser.

Jw585, do you wish you would have added more rollback?

Most of the builds on here have more angle, needed for some 3 point attachments.

My store bought 3 point adapter has a lot of extra angle built in:

This fork frame has extra:

Xfaxman,

I just built it from my head to use up parts/pieces etc. for the blade to push snow banks back. Well so far NW Pa. has not had a lot of snow
and I have not had a chance to try it to push snow banks. I did some small pushing of leaves/brush though.

I will have to see if I will use it with other implements to see if I need more roll back. (Perhaps the rake?)

Thanks for the Idea
