I don't know, but from what I see, it looks like snow can get in between those joist's...
Those support beam's....whats underneath them?

I just started the building this weekend. There痴 no roof yet, maybe next weekend I can get the roof done. The support beams are 6x6 post with concrete pillars under them. They were exposed, but I brought a bunch of fill in and crushed rock to level off the area. The wood is not touching the ground.

The secret is not to plow but rather to compact it and make a 'base'.
Other option is to install skids or skis on the plow so as to leave enough to create a base and then to drive and compact it.
Up here (Quebec) it was so cold that our ground is now frozen so no more problems.

Would that do much in wet sticky snow? It seems like it might compact it some but probably just make slush out of it.

That’s the factory snow sport mount which they want over $400 for the angle version.
This is what I have to work with
just the blade. 
That’s kinda the design I was thinking of and have a buddy (journeyman iron worker) build it. That poorly drawn pic will be off the horizontal bar of the push mount. Amazon.com: CURT 4912 Raw Steel Receiver Tubing: Automotive

As far as how to attach it to the FEL, I was gonna use my pallet fork back plate, I also want to add a bale spear to the back plate at the same time.

Think it’s doable? Combination plow/bale spear/ pallet forks, I would only have to store the forks or plow/ receiver mount in the off seasons.
Was also gonna have him weld on some D rings to the tractor for anchor points for transportation.

They were well before my time Creamer, I suspect they didn't worry about a slushy snow and I'm under the impression that they were a "northern" cold climate item where we get very little natural shush (that's not from salt). :confused3:
