FEL mounted plows?

[bandaidmd]

Are FEL mounted plows really ok to use?
I was under the impression that lateral loads such as what a angled plow would generate are to be avoided on a FEL.
Has anyone ever had a issue with this?
What size would be suitable for my B2620 kubota (26hp 4x4).

I have a JD2320 (24hp 4x4) and made the blade in the pics for my loader. The blade is 6 feet wide and 24" tall. I decided not to make it angle to avoid destroying my loader as on these smaller tractors they are not the strongest. I also didn't make it with trip springs to keep the build simple. I figured as long as I'm somewhat careful I shouldn't brake or bend nothing.

I use a converted truck plow on my FEL,eight ft.It does have trip springs and can be angled.No problems on my tractor.I am the only operator.

I use my TC30 to plow with. Works fine. I consider it my economy model! Options would be heated cab, bigger tractor, bigger plow, angling plow, etc.! But it does just fine for me. A snowblower on the front would work as well! Here is a pic I posted before. Trip springs are nice if you have frozen uneven ground to plow. I have two springs on the plow (plow hinges) at the top that work against the chain hook on my FEL.

I have FEL mounted plow for few years now and no issues.

I think it would depend on how strong the loader assembly on the tractor is. My DK45 is very stout up front. Ive used a loader mounted plow now for 2 seasons, and it has had no issues. Works great

I just ordered an 8' Land Pride snow plow for my 5740.. Will report back after a couple seasons

I have been plowing snow with an angled Fel mounted plow for 8 or 10 years now.
I run a 9' converted truck plow with power angle on my 35 HP tractor.
No problems so far.
I do recommend trip springs on the snow plow.

I put a 60" W.R.Long front blade on my b2620 TLB and it works great. Here is a pic of it on the tractor cal2620.

Let us know what you think when you get that plow. There's been little user feedback on that unit.
