Yesterday's storm gave me the opportunity,to use my new LR/grader-blade combo. MY 7' landscape rake used to be a seasonal implement,but now it will be used year round.The flip down grader blade worked great for cleaning up behind the front blade. I also plow my neighbors drive that is all stone,the grader blade with wheels did no scalping. will post a few pictures.

Nice! You have a tractor and a bulldozer. Now how about some chains?

Are those gage wheels? If so, 2 or 3. Look like a relatively simple setup and a lot better than tearing up surface.

[botaman2]

yes!they are gauge wheels,they work great!

botaman,

I was refering to "Pic 3" and the front blade. But, that rake, blade, and gage wheel setup on the rear looks like it would be hard to beat!

Nice setup Botaman...

I have the 6ft version of that Landpride rake... I like it a lot.

I'm just finishing up building a front mount snowplow like yours.

Can you show me a pic of how you mounted the lift
cylinder to the loader frame??

Was it a solid tab with a hole for the cylinder pin??

a pic of the front of the machine up close would help
me out a lot...

Thanks,
Chris

No! the Meyers snow plow has the standard skid shoes.

Thanks. Wasn't sure from the pic (eyes aren't what they used to be). Sure do like that rake setup though!

I have an old post from earlier this year that has a bunch of pictures on the Meyers plow mods. Do search in the customization forum,words to search for are snowplow L3010,date newer than one year.

I really like your Meyers snowplow modification. I am going to build one myself using yours for inspiration. Mine will have to be different however, as I have an l4330 and things are set up different (ie - no loader brace to attach to underneath or in the front). I have a couple of questions I was hoping you could answer for me. 1. How much space did you leave between the front axle and your two square horizontal frame members - and how did you figure out how much you needed so that the axle would not hit it on uneven ground? 2. How far apart are they?

 

[botaman2]

The distance between the top of 2"sq. tube and the bottom of the axle is 1 1/4". That distance is when all is level. The minimum distance when the front axle is at full travel is 1/2". To get my clearance spec. ,I jacked up the front axle. I then pivoted it thru it's full swing and took measurements. You also asked for the distance between the 2"tube,It is 6"to the inside edge. Hope this info. will help. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
