I installed my 6' plow into the loader this morning

Nice project. It appears from your video that lift is not a problem. I would think if it did create a problem then just a lip welded to the frame of the plow would be all you would need. The front edge of the bucket would just position in the lip and hamper any upward movement. I can relate to the trial run during the winter, though. In the Spring you can apply all that has been learned.

Nice job on hooking up the plow. I'm glad you were able to put that old plow to use.

Hello Charlie,
Great to see your new snow plow in action.
Your made an easy job of attaching it to your bucket. Very simple and effective. A donation sure is a good thing too. I have a friend back East who paid quite a bit for his new snow plow. Yours is in perfect working order.
That video sure makes it look easy and you tractor just rips!

Nice job. I used mine in my FEL last year just using 2 C clamps and 2 ratchet straps about like your setup. Worked like a charm. I rebuilt it this year and made it power angel.

I can't thank you enough Nick for the plow. I have been having a great time with it. I was glad it snowed again last weekend so I could play with it. It is working out great, Thanks Again

I admire your welding and fabrication skills. Great job of recycling!!

I'm amazed you are glad it snowed. I never want to see enough snow where such a plow is needed.

I'm glad I have no need for this particular kind of toy.

Hello Rob, great to hear from you. I was wondering if you were still around in my absence from TBN. You are too kind, my skills are pale compared to yours.

Your home came out beautiful, You and Loretta should be very proud of yourselves. I have actually secured all the funding to put a solar array on my house. I have perfect alignment on my southern exposure. I am waiting out the economy as well as solar development. I see some new options in the very near future. I have a large player in solar near me that I am looking to get involved with.

It is good to see Rob

Hi John, I don't always like the snow, By the end of March I usually have had enough of it. You should hear the silence in a windless snow fall & how clean the world is in a fresh blanket of snow. I love New England, we kind of get the best of both worlds here. It is said here that the day you became an adult is the day snow stopped being fun. I try to still enjoy snow when I can & become a child again for a little while.

Timber, quite some years ago there was a huge hail storm on the ranch. We're talking 4 inch stones which hit the ground and bounced a foot or more. Lasted maybe 15 minutes and when it was over the ground was ankle deep in ice... really! This covered several square miles.

It was summer and soon a fog began to rise from the ice.... the wind died down....talk about spookey.... it went from a completely dark, green sky to sunlight in an hour..... and the SILENCE WAS DEAFENING.....

at least 99% of all birds and insects everywhere had been killed by the hail.... the usual cacophony of summer insect noises and bird song was completely gone ... you don't realize there is all that background noise until there is none. Absolutely none.... I stood and listened..... it was minutes between hearing a single bird sing, or an individual grasshopper make a sound.

That silence was truly awesome
