Snow FRONT SNOWPLOW?

[pkav32]

Has anyone out there mounted a Boss snowplow to a loader. I have a Boss Sportplow 7 1/2 ft. I lost the truck in an accident so now the plow just sits there. Bought a Frontier SB1164 because I use the loader all winter. Was wondering if anyone made or bought a quick attach for the plow. It obviously has the mount for the truck but I think I could make it work.

Sorry I have a JD 2520 with a H130 loader.

I made a mount for a myers plow once, it worked well. Let the chain make a float and was very happy with it.

Just one question though? Could it possibly be worth more to sell as is as a package and just pick up a Tractor Supply 3 pt rig or Craigs list special to butcher. If it's nice it seems a waste to butcher a serviceable truck blade in some circumstances.
Now if you do decide to weld one of these up do post pictures. I have an old one that I want a SSQD mount on. I sure would rather copy someone elses rig on that than reinvent the wheel. I hate grinding welds.

A 7.5' plow would be too much for a 2520.

Yep, I have. For the last two winters I have been using the electric pump and controls, but last week I plumbed the left/right hydraulic cylinders into my Yanmar LX's hydraulic system so I can control it from the loader stick. The thread is here:

Nice work,:thumbsup:
So now, you have eliminated the electric pump and controls completely....

There are several here that have mounted snow blades to their loader.
I put a skid steer quick attach plate on an old 9' Western truck plow that I have been using for several years.

I still have the Boss lift cylinder plumbed into the original system, but you don't need to use that when the plow is attached to the loader. If you set and leave the lift cylinder in "float" mode with the electronic controls, the plow will hang off the cylinder like a chain. You only have to set the cylinder in float once, then you can unplug the controller and put it way. Another option is to remove that lift cylinder completely and replace it with an actual chain.

Eventually I plan to fab up a frame/sub frame mount for the plow and operate both the side-to-side and lift cylinders with the loader controller. With the loader detached, of course. I'm mostly just interested in doing this just because I have extra Boss bush beam parts from my old plow truck and think it would be an interesting project to try.
