BX25 Snow pusher

Just some pics of a snow pusher that I had made for my bx25. Made it heavy duty so I could use it for dirt also. I just copied off of the one's they use to clear the parking lots at the malls.

Looks nice, weld me up a couple.

Looks good! I'm curious where you got those right angle magnet clamps? And do you like em or are they just ok?

Do you have any pics of it on the tractor? How wide did you go?

I'll post some more picks when I get back home. I think I only went 6" wider on either side of the bucket if I remember. Those were picks from last year when I first built it.

I had $117 worth of steel from the scrap yard for that an had steel left over. If it wasn't so match to ship I would build you one for cost of materials/paint as I like fabricating things. It keeps me from getting board.

They talked me into getting 2 when I bought my Lincoln powermig 255c and then found 3 on Craig's list for $200 an a long drive an the rest trolling eBay . Apparently people don't know that they cost $187.15 each at cyberweld website. They are awesome an hold up to 150lbs. An you can turn then on an off.

Am I correct in that you cut partially thru the plate in order to then bend it to desired angle? followed by welds?
If so cool, I also do that when the material is stiffer than I can handle otherwise.
In fact that is a very good tip for many DIY guys.

At worst I grab 2 pipe wrenches and an angle (for backer) and fold 4-5 ft of flat stock.

Also made plow skids by cutting 1/2 way thru 1/2" stock, bent in vice and then welded back the gap to strengthen the skids. Worked fine.

Yes I cut 2/3rds of the way through then put the bucket on it an used a big crescent wrench to bend it up. Then back step welded it to keep it from warping from to much heat.

Thanks so much for the magnet info, ill keep my eyes open for em. It certainly is satisfying to take a few pieces of steel and turn into something useful.
