New Snow Plow

[71bronco]

I want show off my new plow that I bought off Craigslist last night. It,s a Meyers 6 1/2 foot with a manual angle(no front remotes yet) on a SSQA plate.I've been looking to build my own but I found this for $600 so I went for it. Hope I didn't do to bad.
Also went to an aution and picked up a boom pole for $12.50 and 2 ratchet binders for $8. I want to adapt the boom pole to the loader.How'd I do?

Yea, looks great.

I would like to chang the subject a bit. What is the difference between a snow plow and a "pusher"?
Seems like they both move snow off your drive way.

Good find I have a similar setup. I picked up an old meyers plow last year that had loader mounts that I had to cut off and got a skid steer Q/A plate welded to it this summer. I have about $600 into mine with the plow itself, plate, paint, etc. My only issue is the width, as angled it will not cover the tracks of my L3240. Will be giving mine a lot of use this year instead of the bucket which is what I had been using.

That is a good deal. I bought a $100 rusted up POS off Craigs List. Its a Meyer 7' plow. Time I replace the mole board, sand blasting, paint, new cylinders, QA plate, ect I had right at $600 in it and maybe 50 hours of hard work. Heating, grinding, welding, sanding, ect.

You did good.

I got my replacement cylinders on the net for $100. They are Power Fist brand and a direct generic replacement. I had about $150 in the 1/4" hoses to run from the cylinders to my rear remotes. I think they were 18' each.

No hydraulics for me yet so I'll just manually angle the blade at least for this year. I used an 8n with a beat up backblade (see picture) for the last 15 yrs or so. So this combo should definatly should be an improvement.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Not too bad considering its good condition.

I have a meyer 7.5 plow I have been trying to sell for several weeks. It isnt in quite as good of shape, but still good. I wish I could get $600. I am only asking $500 and keep taking calls of people asking if I have the mount or pump:mur: DUH, read the ad. PLOW BLADE ONLY:confused2:

Looks good, you could have that power angle for just a little extra money.

Just need the cylinders some hose and hook it up to your curl circuit QDs, since you don't need the curl cylinders with the chain set up.

This will give you a idea what I went though rebuilding my plow. You did real good.
