Thanks, it was stupidly simple, the way I did the lower mount frame, don't know why JD doesn't offer something like it. then anyone could mount a truck plow to frame.
The only frame mount plow they have for this model requires removal of loader mounts.
Using the loader stick for 4-way plow function is beautiful and natural.
JB,
Have to ask. Have you got hung up on the plow frame,,Yet? Now that is a good time, not that I know
The answer is yes, just once, but that was only when I pushed to far just fooling around for a photo op. The snow was soft half way up the pile and front wheels droped in. tried digging it out but ended up pulling it out easily with my truck.
The whole plow A-frame was hung up, my undercarriage frame stays on all year even with loader and does not hang down lower than axle so no problem yet with that.
JB.

Cool, I love an honest person. I don't know how many times I've got myself hung but I bet my wife could tell you exactly how many.

Glad to see the working pics. I can confirm how much fun it is to have such a frame mount system.
I've yet to find a need to put the loader/bucket back on to move snow that the front blade can't move.
That pile you climbed up on could be moved bit by bit and shoved further back into the trees with the blade straight - - easily.
Now, add a wing plow for the ultimate in moving snow back further. If you are looking for something more to do.

Some of mine are in inside corners so I may need the loader to move some of it, no problem, just have to dig the loader out from under the snow.

Believe me I was thinking about that wing of yours (I think that was you that had the video last year) when I was plowing a longer stretch of my drive. But in my case except this year I don't think I could justify the need, but I was thinking about it.
Never thought I could justify a 3pt blower, but i'm thinking about that as well.

No problem,
I will have to measure that for you, the cylinder came from Tractor supply, I remember that.
If you don't hear back from me in a day or so bump the thread again to remind me.
You could use my numbers as a starting point, but I just got the cylinder and started laying it out on a bench to see how long the parts needed to be.
