Frame Mounted Plow, anyone have one/tried one?

So he's running 2 batteries, but the stock alternator? It appears Kubota understands all of those luxuries with the cab use electricity. He has a 60A alternator compared to the 45A standard on an open chassis. He might even have an 80A alternator if he opted for that option.

I wouldn't be so concerned if the alternator wasn't $450! I need to look more closely at the alternator. I wonder if a normal alternator from a truck available at the local autoparts store would fit as an upgrade?

I've done it to all my machines, including the JCB I now have. Google "3G alt upgrades" these older Ford alts put out 130 amps and very little mods are needed. Its like night and day with this upgrade.

Thanks for the 'digging service'.

What size plow is reasonable for my L45?

The plow in the pics is 8.5 feet and is honestly even a bit much for my 2500HD diesel sometimes to push up my hills.

What ever you can find. Some tires chains will make a huge difference in pushing power. I ran a 7 footer on a b7510 after I cut it down from 8 or 8.5 for getting around better.
