Snowplow mount direct to tractor

Hay Dude · Mar 31, 2013

Anyone mount a plow direct to frame, just like on a truck (not on loader arms)?
Found nice 9' used blizzard plow with wings. Might go well on one of my kubota m's.

I had a sub-frame mounted snow plow on a L3130 Kubota.Probably the best for the tractor,but lift height is compromised and you lose the use of the FEL.My current set up is a eight ft. FEL mounted on a L4240 but I only have one tractor.

Many here have plows attached with a quick hitch and not on the loader arms. Here is a Kubota BX thread with plow / quick hitch pictures.

Looking for bigger tractor mounts or pictures. Found a guy in MI that does nice looking work.

I have western plow mounted on my Branson 2400H. I used the Western quick hitch mount from a Jeep and mounted this to the tractor frame. I can pull two pins, disconnect the hydraulic lines and install the FEL in ten minutes or less. Yes you are limited in lift height on the plow but it for me that is not an issue since if I need to push the piles back I just install the FEL.

I have no pictures of this on the Branson. Took the plow off a couple of weeks ago to mount the MMM so I could do some spring work on it.

I dropped two plates from the frame to pick up tubing arms that reach forward to pick up the A-frame points. I use a short cylinder to raise and push down the plow blade. The loader hydraulics provide swing and lift.
