Snow plow on FEL

[Thomas]

Works great on my little Deere 850

Nice setup.

Each to their own. Not to belabor this, but the 4060 does 20 mph and there is a definite difference in how the snow rolls off of the blade at a higher speed. I use a direct mount, with a 9 foot commercial blade, which is no different than a truck mount. I have been pushing snow with one type of rig or another since I was 16 (I'm 71) and have never had an issue caused by speed when plowing.

Yes, as said a direct mount not a loader mounted blade.
Try doing speed with a loader mounted blade and you will tear things up even with trip springs.
I'm impressed that you can do 20 mph with 9 ft blade, that is very good for only 40HP.

So am I. I have 2 iimes that and it would be foolish to run at 20. I'd probably wind up in the ditch.

I just bought a 6 1/2’ plow from Minnesota Implements waiting for the first snow to try it out. It has a float feature, and sets really close to the front of the loader. It’s also got a feature that keeps you from damaging your tractor if you hit something

Most plows do. Called trip over springs.

7' SSQA plow

That is one heavily built plow.

Believe me it will not do more than 5 to 10 going up hill, but most of the street I do is either straight up or down hill so I can get it rolling going back down. I make one swipe in the middle of the road going uphill and then a pass downhill, turn around and clean up the side I hit going downhill which is fast since I'm not really moving much snow, and make the final pass going downhill on the other side of the street. It's a private gated road so I don't have to worry about going against traffic.

I use high range and very rarely place it in 4wd.

The real key is to not let the storm get ahead of your efforts to clear it. I usually get out every 4 inches or so which actually saves time since I can do the 30' wide street in short order. If I screw up and let it get ahead of me I end up struggling uphill which slows me down considerably.
