Hello,
Thanks for all the replies, but I still don't understand all of it. A couple of you guys were talking about a lift cylinder....I don't need one since I can use the loader arms to maintain my proper height when plowing. There is a place near me in Shippensburg , Pa. that sells them.....an Amish guy has a business that makes them. I think I need to go there and look at some examples. I have found out that any way you cut it, snow plows aren't cheap. I would like to make my own, but start with a $179.00 quick attach plate and then find a reasonable snow plow....500.00 or so and I still don't have any attachment mechanism made at that point. It might be better in the long run to just get the Amish guy to make one the way I want it. I don't think I need to have hydraulics....just pin the plow at a 20 or 25 degree angle and go from there. It seems like it should be fairly simple, but I'm not sure.
