Here's a photo of my landscape rake snow plow. It's a closely guarded secret that a rake will often plow better than a blade. Since my part of Ohio doesn't get much snow anyway, the rake is perfect since I already have one and yet don't have a plow blade or snowblower. It's perfect because I can use what I have..

I adapted my quicktch JD loader over to a skid steer mount with an adapter made by an Amish shop. They did a great job and I needed the SSQA for a tree shovel I have. More on that in a minute.

Off the SSQA adaptor I got a 3 point adaptor I need for using a platform on my loader. So it's only natural to use what I already have to hook up my 8 ft rake onto the front of my loader. I won't know until it snows but I think it will work fine since a rake already plows great in the 3 point arrangement. Here are the pics.

All this started because I bought this tree shovel at an auction. It's a SSQA mount and it's something I really need to move small trees and rocks in landscape applications. Anyway, here's a picture of that shovel and it works great.

And while I'm at it. the bracket I made to hold my rake up when not on the tractor. That puppy is heavy and awkward and difficult to hook up by itself. The stand makes it a breeze.

It works great for most snow. Lots of old threads on it.
In fact, when I lived north of Bangor, I plowed lot of fluffier snow with it in 3pt hitch arrangement.

Very observant. That is indeed a rare one bought at auction. I have seen other things with one upside down decal and figured it was either a "second" or a moron on the assembly line. Works the same as with two upright decals so I'm OK with it.
