Fisher Plow, Kioti Tractor, Twisted Neck

Maineiac · Dec 12, 2005

It's getting to be snow season in Maine and a generous buddy GAVE me an old Fisher plow and frame for my Kioti LB1914. We were able to adapt some 3pt bracket parts and get the thing solidly mounted back there. I must say that except for looking backward, the thing worked perfectly on the seven inch snowfall we had Friday.
My question is whether anyone has had trouble (other than neck trouble) with this set-up. The 3pt hitch is designed to be strong in the pulling direction and I'm assuming it is just as strong pushing. The plow has a spring-loaded cutting edge and also can freely pivot upwards at the pins. Not that I would ever hit anything.....
Any comments or tips will be appreciated. I'll get a photo in here if anyone wants to see the set-up.

The trip edge is definitely an asset to your set up, I have the fisher plow on my truck, I never plan on hitting, but I'm glad to have the trip edge when I do, if you have a chance to post your pics I'd like to see your set up /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif...cag

Have you been reading the other thread that has been going on the past week pertaining to the same thing?

I also have a spare plow and would be very interested in seeing some detailed pictures of your set up.

I hope to get some photos in later today. The set-up is quite simple and, in my humble opinion, rather elegant. I had to scavenge some parts from another 3pt attachment--a rear blade--but I don't use the blade in the winter nor the plow in the summer....usually!

Been there: No, I guess I didn't see those posts. I'll go check, thanks.

Beenthere: Thanks. I don't follow the "General" forum, so I didn't know what you meant. But it's all there, exactly what I'm doing.
My set-up is even simpler than the one detailed there, and it works great. We're getting another 6 or 7 inches today, so I'll be able to try it again. It sounds like it's possible to bend up the 3pt arms, but only if you hit something going a bit fast. I'm pretty slow.....at least that's what my wife thinks!
She does like the nicely plowed driveway, however, and the fact that the whole plow set-up was FREE!

Thanks again.
