you would do just as good with the bucket as with that blade w/o any trip springs.

Sarge,

I bought a Paynes clamp on plow when I first bought my tractor. The plow works great on pavement. Not so good on gravel or rough terrain. I very quickly sold it as I learned the importance of a trip spring. I was plowing fairly slow and I caought a 1 inch stump at the edge of the driveway with the blade. It stopped the tractor and sent me into the steering wheel.

My suggestion is the Curtis Front End Loader plow. I pop out the pins for my bucket, and mount the plow. It has 5 trip springs. I found mine on craigslist used for $900.

I built one for my small loader years ago and had terrible luck with it, Mine however was a QA setup that replaced the bucket. They stick out to far, and you loose steering ability whenever a load is in front of the blade because of where the hinge point of the loader is. It's like this: The plow meets resistance but the rear wheels keep driving forward...the first thing that happens is the front wheels come off the ground. Try it for yourself, go drive into a dirt pile-what happens to the front wheels?

The lack of trip springs is a concern also on that model you linked, plus I'd bet you'd bend up the floor of the bucket with that.

I'm going to echo KennyD's post. I made on that bolted to my loader. Put on a urethane blade, thought I was all set but it was too heavy for the front wheels to turn. I have much better success with a 7 ft backblade that has skid shoes. you can adjust to just barely touch if you don't want to scrape the asphalt and it windrows up to about a 10 inch snowfall with no problem
