Finally get to add pics to this awesome thread. Over the summer I found a sweet deal on a JD Blade for the 4100,, complete set up...It did awesome for our first snow a few weeks ago.. so much so a neighbor
who handles the property management of the local food lion about a 1/4 mile away asked if I would be interested in trying the parking, he wasn't happy with the current crew ( small Bob Cat with bucket and slick tires, Red belly with a box blade with width that didnt reach the inside of the back tires ) so I said I would give it a shot. I'd seen the crew before and noted they wasted a lot of time retracing their path due to snow roll of the edge of box blade and and bucket.. so my first thought was I need containment wings...but I need them to be detachable as well not cause a cost burden...TO THE SCRAP BIN!! digging around rewarded me with sturdy square tubing and a couple of 550 armor blades.. and here is the result. I am in serious thought of using my DIY quick attach plate for the FEL so I can mount the blade and push the snow up into piles.. appreciate any input ( side note the image with the green skate wheels.. I get asked a lot to spread gravel for people in their drives.. that was my solution after noting the john deer depth bars wore down real fast )
