Remove plow from loader and mount on tractor

[ishiboo]

If the loader valve is integrated with the loader (like on my LA650/L3650), it's probably easier to use a new power beyond spool valve for the plow. If it's integrated with the tractor like the newer Kubotas are, then you can easily use the loader valve.

Holly Cow!!!!! ASGAR is a genius!!!! I have the same plow and I would love to attach it to my 750. I just wish I had a welder or better yet, knew how to weld.

Today is a good time to go buy a welder and start throwing sparks! I use the loader control valve for my plow and its a little jerky but I basically just bought couplers and extended hoses and hooked it up. Never has given me problems. Its not a difficult project to tackle. Most metal suppliers cut your pieces to your spec. Then you can have it welded together after some careful measurements and just drill your holes. I highly encourage anyone to attempt it if they have any hand tool abilities.

I have had both and much prefer the FEL mounted plow.I would suppose it depends on the size of your tractor.The smaller tractors would probably get pushed around by a FEL mounted plow.Mine at 7000lbs does not have this problem.I like the ability to quick change to a bucket and to pile the snow high.As long as your trip springs are in working order I don't see how you could tweak the FEL.

I can quickly change back to the loader as well. Pop 4 quick connects, pull two pins and back away. Pull one more pin and the lift mast slides out easily. Pull over to the loader and hook up as normally. Not very difficult. I actually prefer using the little tractor for plowing snow as it is much more manuverable and the HST is wonderful for quick manuvering. Once I put front tire chains on I can push snow with the 7.5' plow till its rolling over the top with no issues. The bigger tractor is reserved for the HD tasks and not plowing snow. Although the heated cab on the bigger tractor would be nicer on the cold days. I currently clear a parking lot but have no need to stack snow 10ft high. If you have to stack it that high, maybe a snow pusher makes more sense for your use? Any time I have resorted to using a bucket I was extremely dissappointed in the efficiency of moving snow.

If I have to change my plow back to the bucket it is not for snow removal generally.This winter because of the ice storm the only way I could open my road was with the bucket/tooth-bar.Four inch thick slabs of ice,layer of snow and another inch and half of ice.Impossible to plow or blow.My bucket is equipped with a thumb for wood gathering purposes in winter.
