Perfect! :thumbsup: Thanks for the help guys. I'll make up extended sides/skids and post some pictures when done. Also I'll see if I can make it in such a way the bucket rides in the dump position to act more like a pusher and not need dumping.
I wouldn't plow with the bucket in the dump position. It would be much more likely to damage a cylinder or loader arms if you catch on something. Keep the bucket edge lifted a little and keep it in float mode and you should be fine. Either way, relatively slow and easy minimizes any damages should you catch something hard or solid.
