Its just homemade from an old rear blade I had laying around..
I'm hoping to find a used pickup plow with power angle at a good price I can fix up and modify to fit sometime in the future..

Vince, I have a 6 1/2 foot blade with the rams that I'm working on to mount on my fel arms. I don't have a QA. I need to make the entire bracket to fit the fel arm pins.
My main question is how are you going to power your power angle? I have the rear remotes and was going to run lines forward with another set of QDs. I didn't want to cut into the rear lines with a tee. I was going to just have a set of matching QDs that I could remove when I needed the rear remotes for something else. I was thinking of two short rubber hydraulic hoses attached to steel lines running forward.
Someone here, had Rick Wallace make lines for them if I remember correctly but I can't remember who.
I hope we get a strong NWest wind and send some of this snow your way, although it does make it nice for skiing and snowmobiling.

I think I will use a setup similar to what would be used on a loader to control a grapple.
An electric solinoid/diverter valve setup on the loader.
I,m no hydraulic expert, so I will need to look into it farther when the time comes and figure out how to make it work..

Thanks Vince. I didn't know that there was such a setup like that. I've never seen a grapple, other than pictures, to figure out how it works. That would be a better idea than mine.
I'll try to push the snow your way. We have enough for a while to play in.

Yup, that's my goal for the future as well. I saw an old Fisher beside the road for $69 and almost stopped. May have to go back there, looked like everything was there 'cept what would have been left on the truck.

hello all.....
no snow to speak of in NH (YET!!!!) i know we will get our share.... i just hope it's not in june....
wanted to share a fairly low cost plow setup that i just came accross from Northern Tool..... it's a clamp on (to FEL) snow plow blade that comes in 5' 6' & 7' models.....
i'm not sklled in fabrication like Vince and the others, and i'm getting a little tired of backing up to plow with the rear blade, so this might be the way to go....
here's the info -
Paynes 72in. Clamp-on Push Blade – Model# PFPB72
Clamp blade onto a bucket and use it to push dirt, gravel and debris, or use it for snow removal. Works with tractors and skid loaders. U.S.A.

It's my goal in the coming year to buy a welder and learn how to use it. I hope then to make my own pallet forks and also buy a snow plow and weld it onto a quick attach plate. I have the hydraulic hoses running to the front for my grapple so I should also be able to angle it with my grapple cylinder. I admire the folks on this site who can do their own welding and make it look professional.

OZ,
Do it, i picked up an almost new Millermatic 210 on Craigslist for $800. A Mig w/gas is a relativly easy set up to learn wth(even i can do it!). I bought the GMAW book at the Miller dealer and it covers just about everything you will need to know. You will never regret having a welder around

Oleozz, Do you have any info on how your grapple control works or can you point me to a site where I can learn?
A welder is a nice thing to have. The cost for it is made back with the things you do for yourself. Until you get the hang of it, I wouldn't build anything that is crucial. Your first welds aren't usually the strongest. Get a few pieces of scrap steel to practice on. If you know anybody that welds, have them give you a few pointers and maybe run a few beads with them. The book is good but a little personal coaching can do wonders.
