Snow snow plow fel attachment

[nolan1]

Has anybody tried one of these snowplows that bolt on to your fel bucket? They look like a good idea to me but are they dependable?

Saw somewhat the same setup,had couple concerns.

Screw clamps grips staying tight when back draging snow.
Plow attachment was solid..no floating..didn't want to keep rising/lowing plow,so I made my own setup.

I looked at that same model plow too. Same concerns as Thomas. My biggest one though was the $900+ price. Can't see spending that for something that sits idle for nine months unless you are going to push dirt. I ended up adapting a 6' ATV blade to my bucket. Basically you can just bolt the ATV mount to the under side of the bucket, rig something to control the vertical movement and you are good to go. I probably did more than was necessary and now hindsight has kicked in and I am asking why I bothered bracing this and that. Oh well it works great and I only have $150 in the whole deal. I found that there were a number of used ATV plows around. Most looked barely used. I think people might buy these ATV package deals and then find out the engines are too small for successful plowing and end up selling the plow?

Any type of spring trip setup? With that much HP/weight if you catch a curb or something solid something might break or bend....

The one I looked at had no trip. I think those blades are actually sliding back blades with a different mounting arrangement and a considerably higher price than the back blade would be?
