Hi,
I am looking to get some ideas and recommendations from those that have some knowledge/experience with adding a plow to a tractor.
I have a 9 foot fisher plow which I want to build a QA setup for my Kioti DK35SE. Here are a couple ideas I have....
1.) Build a QA in such a way that it still utilizes the chain for floating. Then use front/rear hydraulic kit for plow hydraulics. This way I would not have any down pressure which isn't important but would be nice for areas such as back dragging in front of my garage doors.
2.) Build the QA so it is solid the triangular portion of the plow frame. This way I would have to use the float action of the FEL arms when plowing. Still utilizing the front/rear hydraulic kit for plow hydraulics. This way I would get the down pressure for those special areas.
Couple questions I can think of right off....
Will the second option take more wait of the front tires causing difficult steering?
Is anyone using the front/rear hydraulic kit for a plow? Do I need a bypass valve of some sort or can I get away with just plugging directly to the rams?
Is anyone using a 9 foot plow? I see many manufacturers selling up to 7 foot plows but no 8 or 9 that I can find. Does anyone think it is because it is to much for a tractor of this size? The 9 is all I have
Thanks for any ideas or recommendations you guys have.
