Snow Blade quick detach snowblade question

avatar · Nov 16, 2011

I have a used 8ft. western snowplow that I would like to be able to hook it up with my quick detach on my 47 hp. ls tractor. I was thinking of making a quick detach bracket and weilding it on the plow or can you purchase one? At this point I am going to manually angle the plow as needed and maybe run the hydro hoses to a cylinder next year. Any insight would be great

Many of use have built QA for our tractors.I assume you are talking to the FEL.
My tractor has a SS(Skid Steer) QA mount,I just purchased a bare SS plate and adapted the snow plow to it.My tractor is a Kubota;John Deere uses a different system.
There are a lot of good builds on this site,look them all over.My tractor is 44 hp and handles the eight ft.plow no problem.

There are many places that sell QA plates. I have ordered a few items from KFI manufacturing and they also make the QA plates. Here is a listing for one on ebay.

KFI seems to have the best price, I couldn't even build a QA plate for $120!

I'll be ordering a few this week because I just purchased a Kubota QA adapter off Ebay for $200

I just did a build on a 9' Western snow plow.
I have a few pictures posted in the Kioti owning/operating section under "Getting ready for snow". (sorry I don't know how to link to a post)
I got a very nice heavy duty made 5/16" QA plate from E-bay for around $133 including shipping. (Seller on E-bay was "atvxpress")
Can't build my own much cheaper than that.
