Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Blade Wing?

[RNeumann]

I have a CUT with a box scraper that stays on all the time and a FEL with SSQA. In the winter I attach a snow blade that has hydraulic angle. The setup has treated me very well!

What I’d like to add is a “wing” or something similar to either the box scraper or front blade that would add 18” or so to one side to knock back the windrow that builds up along the driveway. I won’t be doing heavy pushing or scraping- just setting the wing say 6” off the ground and easing things back.

Has anyone done this and or have photos? Does anyone have ideas? I do realize rear blades can be offset to do this- that isn’t in the plans.

Thx

Their’s always a faster gun! Perfect. I can probably mount that on the box scraper and run in reverse - I want to throw it away from the driveway, not onto the driveway.

Maybe old snow plow somehow fasten to box blade,you can fold wing down than lower box blade for action???

A TBN member named “Beenthere” built a wing for his JD that does exactly what you are looking for.
If you type “plow wing” in the google custom search box top right corner the thread is about the forth one down.

Pushing snow around here is just a losing proposition. If there is Ice undernieth I already have difficulty steering with an angled blade. And usually there are freeze/thaw cycles that make the windrows tough as icebergs!

Devin,
A neighbor of mine was able to purchase a bolt on wing for his front blade. He uses it on one side only to push back his berms. Try contacting Boundry Tractor I think he got his from CDA Tractor.

I built removable wings for my bucket so as to make a pusher blade out of it.

It has been working pretty good. I am amazed out how much snow you can push with it.

Probably could do similar on your box scraper.

I’ve looked and didn’t find it. I’m on an iPad using Tapatalk so it looks different. When I’m at a computer I’ll look again. Thx for the info!

How thick is the steel and how long are the wings? That looks like something I could make- not the same style but a similar design.

RN, here you go. Not sure if you want to get into all Beenthere built, but a very impressive project to look at. I've been dreaming about something similar ever since I saw this.http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/john-deere-owning-operating/159770-wing-plow.html

Thx and WOW! That’s a nice (and memorable) setup. The trailer hitch up front is genius! If I end up making something with shape it will be time for a little press.

The plate is 3/16" and the angle 3/16" X 2" X 2".

The wings started out 30" long and are cut to fit the back contour of the bucket. The finished wing protrudes out 20" past the cutting lip of the bucket and the out board end of each wing has a shoe on it.

Works really well. Can't believe how much snow you can push and gather with this setup.

I called and left a message a week or so ago and haven’t heard back.

I tried a few of my local tractor stores and they all recommended a welding shop. I guess I’ll be making something. When I get it done I’ll post here.

I've often thought about a wing but now with a better back blade I could swing that off to the side, and I still don't. I end up using the front blade to roll the deep berms when needed. I drive the tractor centered on the berm of snow rolling it farther away from the drive. I keep the blade raised about 6 inches and keep the tractor moving a decent speed, and the momentum rolls that hard packed icy snow way off to the side. A few years ago we had much more snow than normal, and I had several parallel windrows of snow pushed off to the side. I moved them farther and farther off the drive as I needed more room. The more you work snow, the less bulk there is as it crumbles and crystalizes.

My buddy has a DIY similar setup & Loves it. (he is all flat with lots of space)
My thoughts are that the idea is A-OK but on flat areas with lots of place to push that snow.
If U are restricted and or hilly best is to blow it as far away as possible.
