Tony- Are you getting used to the V-plow on FEL? Pretty great, eh?

Loving it! A few minutes behind the wheel and the Wing movement becomes intuitive. I love the fact that I had the extra hydraulics up front already so it was plug and play. Did the driveway twice so I was pushing a light 18" at a time. In fact, in one section of driveway , a short run, I put the plow in Reverse 'V' and basically snow box the snow out of the entire area. I'm glad I went with the 'V'. In fact after the driveway was cleaned up I drove to virgin 36" snow and played a bit. With the plow angled, It would not push well at all and it was turning the front of the tractor a bit. With the plow in 'V' I was able to drive straight thru. Then back up and take smaller bites wit the plow angled in one direction. I have a heavier tractor then the neighbors so after they couldn't push the snow back enough. I helped them out. Yes, thanks for the input in the past
A few PICS one is just angled and pushing back a little snow. second; with the plow in scoop mode to pile some off the road. The last is in 'V' mode and plowing the second 18" of snow.

Two Aux hydraulics? One for the Blower pump and one to rotate the Shoot. Or are you running the Blower with the Rear PTO?

Whoops never mind,I just came across your answer

I sure would like a V-plow for what I plow. I do 1/4 mile driveway and other paths, a straight plow is fine there, but the large open areas a V-plow would be a better snow pusher. Nice set up.

I really can't wait to take the darn plow off, but then there is mud season, and a heavy tractor will just sink.
Tonight I took the chains off my little Max28, so I can do some tractor work with that, and not tear the place up.

Why not 90km/h, with the ability to crab steer, 4wheel steer, and regular (front wheel) steer? Available hydrostatic transmission that seamlessly switches to the regular box at 50km/h, you can lockout the suspension for loader work, central tire inflation, front/rear/middle PTO, front/rear hydro, onboard air, VarioPilot (drive from either side of the cab to see the implement best)...too much tech for me but neat to look at if we are dreaming.

I hate to ask what one of those would cost with a few Attachments.

theres a rear mount hydraulic tank and pump. The system comes with a mountable control for rotation and deflection. Does not use tractors hydraulics. The rear system boosts hydraulics to 3,000 psi at 15 gpm flow. And protects tractor hydraulics from heat

Yup Mud Season. The past few years I have been working the property in order to get a house on it. And the last few Springs I have ripped the place up terribly. When the house is finally all built, I can stay off the Fields with the big tractor until things dry out. I hope!

It sounds like I have about the same Plow area as you. It's nice to run the plow in a reverse 'V' and push snow out away from an area. Some areas are narrow and plowing snow to the side would not last long work as the season progresses.

Self contained... I never saw that before. Very interesting.

Great photos! Knowing the height of your blade (31") puts that in perspective!

Our "new" (to us) L5740 gets to wear the V-plow for the first time. Hoping we get some snow tomorrow night so I can do some important "product testing".

That looks like it will be fun to run. Did it replace your MX5100?
