3pt Hitch On An F350 4WD Pickup Truck With Fisher Snowplow Frame

I can't believe you said that!!
That's the primary reasoning I wanted a 3pt on the back too...lol
Now at least I know it's not just another far out idea of mine...Thanks!

Thinking that a few parking lot jobs would go quickly with double plows on and bring in a few bucks for building more projects.

As for the hydraulics...
It could run off the same pump...volume doesn't have to be doubled since only one direction can be used at a time
Probably best to have separate valves and controls, otherwise a switching valve would have to be installed and switched each time....what a pain that'd be!
Fittings & hoses long enough to reach the back end can be had on the auction site fairly cheaply.

Probably the best way is to simply buy an entire setup off an old truck (Or whole dead truck) and simply buy the two long hoses needed. Get's you a spare pump, push beam and set of push plates for other uses too!
Maybe $200.00 total if very lucky...upwards from there if not.

They make rear snow plow/box things to use in unison with front plow. for getting in front of garages etc, I think they slide in receiver hitch.

Couldn't find a picture of what I was talking about.

I also picked up a snow plow blade at the scrap yard that came down on a northern parts truck for 20 bucks. Its been abused a bit, I put it back to put a spare quick tach I have on it for my skid steer just incase we have a snow over 3 inches. No one else here has a plow but the city has one for the roads. They arent allowed to plow the private stores. For a seperate pump on a plow howbout use an old Power steering pump to run the extra attachment.
My dump truck the plow frame came off of is an 87 Ford 350 4x4 with a 6.9. Its got a transplanted 97 cab on it. I bought it for a job and had to take the plow sub frame off over night. I torched the mounts that the truck spring hangers bolted through instead of having to pull it all off. I m thining about building a 2 wheel trailer lie I mentioned before to make my tool bar/ carrier for maintaining a mile long logging road with a friends old power wagon.

I thought I was going to get rich designing a rear receiver mounted 3 point hitch, and have someone manufacture them. Then you could use an inexpensive back blade to move snow. All the folks with a rear receiver and 4wd would be the market.

But after I got into it I found the hydraulics (purchased new, retail) was looking expensive. And then I found out there was already a supplier of receiver mounted plows.

I gave up my idea of being rich.

Well, I doubt very seriously if anyone would get rich off this front 3 point hitch either.

I'm sure there's some idiot's out there that'd pay big money, but anyone having an existing old style plow system simply needs about 6 feet of flat stock and a drill. Tilt piston is optional.

Of course, there are always those who are unsure of how to go about it or unable to think for themselves....Maybe I'll sell plans...lol
