I'm getting ready to set up a plow for my tractor (for the "extra cleanup tasks" when it snows. I do most of my plowing with my F-250). Can anyone recommend (or recommend against) a specific skid steer plate? Northern Tool is inexpensive compared to many, but not sure if it is "strong enough" or not. Curious for the experience of others. Feel free to private message me if you like, especially if you'd rather not post a negative review of a specific plate publicly.

Already planning to add crossover relief, thanks to others for adding that suggestion!

Thanks!

Universal Weld-On Mount, Model# 500395 | Skid-Steers + Attachments | Northern Tool + Equipment

I found the best deal on a SS plate at my local tractor dealer. They had 3 to choose from and no shipping charge.

Wow two were highly critical of the plate...

I would like to know what pressure JD, Meyer's, Western and Curtis use but have been unable to find out (But I have not seriously perused it either-a phone call to one of the company's may yield the answer)

I emailed Curtis about the relief setting on their FEL mount snow plows and they said that the relief block is set at 1500 psi at the factory but are adjustable.

That is great info! Lower that I thought it would be-but a great starting point I think.
