Bucket-to-snow-plow conversion?

[dariusr]

I am considering the same thing using a Gravely blade as well. I am wanting to make a 2" reciever to Gravely 4 bolt set up that would allow me to use it on the 3 pt in the reciever for the cultivator.

I saw someones modificaton that installed a 2" reciever bolted to the inside bottom of the loader bucket. If I could rig that, and add the Gravely 2" reciever to 4 bolt set up, I could use the Gravely front blade.

At least those are my intentions.

Very creative!

Simply amazing the talents and vision that so many of the people have on this forum. Congrats on a fine piece of work.

The only drawback I found, was that my blade is not spring loaded, so I have to be extra careful when plowing. I've hit a couple hidden objects, so far no damage. On the other end of the tractor, I have a 54" snow blower. I do most of my work with the blade, and when the windrow gets too big, I hit it with the snow blower.

I think you will find that a 4' blade will be to small for your tractor, My 4110 measures 4' wide, as should your 4010. When you angle the blade , you will not clear a path wider the your tractor.
The JD blade is 54", but most people think 60" would be ideal.

Good luck.

This is what I use for plowing snow.

It uses what I call the JD Quick Attach system with bracket and pin, the strap is not used and it is mounted on a tube frame.

The blade angle is hydraulic from the bucket tilt and the blade is spring loaded.

I have an old 6' plow from a pick-up that I have been saving (for about 20 years) that I have been tempted to add to the FEL but I worry about the side forces involved on the loader frame. I have a 5' TPH blower and a "snow-bucket" extension for the FEL so I don't really need the plough BUT the idea is a cool project-I just don't want to bend the FEL. I do intend to call my dealer about those mounting loops tomorrow though as it takes my a lot of oxy/acet to bend them myself. Pat /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
