grader blade on FEL for snow removal?

Does anyone use a skid steer 3-pt. adapter plate & a grader blade to move snow?

My only concern would be no trip springs.

Me too Thomas, that would be a big concern for me, but if you think about it, the loader and bucket does not have trip springs.

Not a good idea,as stated no trip springs.They work fine in the back because you have no down pressure on the three point.Also not a good idea to "push" if on the back,they are made to pull.

I would think the loader bucket pushes on the same pins and arms, not much difference I'd say.

Go to front loader blade to see mine. I hope I'm right, time will tell. So far it is great and much faster with the blade instead of the bucket. I purchased a rear mount blower this year to accommodate the actual snow removal where necessary. You cannot push back as well with a blade. I rarely got stuck when I had the bucket on.
