FEL Snow Blade Build

[nyen0004]

Hey everyone, I am in the process of building a FEL snow blade. I figured some of you would be interested in the build and the finished product. I will try to take as many pics as possible during my build. I am curently cleaning my laneway with a bucket which kinda sucks but is still fun. Anyway give me your thoughts and suggestions please.:thumbsup:

Making your own blade or converting one?

Take a look at mine here. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/194865-front-mount-snow-blade.html

Making it myself. Looks like you build quite a bit of yours yourself... I try to post pics once I get something worth showing everyone. lol.

The blade will be something like this one. Just down sized a little.

No ability to angle it? Wouldn't you want that for plowing snow?

It would be nice to angle it, but to be able to do that I would have to bring the blade out at least 1 foot infront of the loader arms. Iam a little woried about putting sideways pressure on the arms, I don't want to tweak them. I figured this set-up is not any different then using a bucket, so it should'nt put anymore pressure on the arms the the bucket. What do you think???

You will regret not being able to angle your plow.Set up like that is not that much different than just the bucket.

You definitely want to angle it. It will not stress the loader arms that much. I fear you will regret not doing this from the start.

I guess I could always put sides on it in the future.
