Loader Snowplowing with a loader mounted blade

[Thomas]

No problems,just go slow until you get the feel of it and make sure trip springs in good working condition.

Plowed snow for many years as a teenager with a Ford 2N and a Superior loader with a 6 foot fixed dozer blade, no spring trip or angle capabilities, just a pair of skid shoes and loaded R1's with chains...virtually unstoppable.

Take it easy, mark or remove any obstacles, and you'll do just fine. I made some really large snow piles to play on with that rig!

After 15 years I retired my 3PH snow blower and bought a Quick Attach snow blade with hydraulic Angeling
I cut half an hour off my usual snow removal time with the blade and more if you consider the time to attach the blower and PTO shaft.
No issues with FEL damage but as been stated, careful operation and knowing where the obstacles are is paramount.

I've been using my 9' blade on my road for 9 years without FEL issues. 1/2 mile long and 150' elevation gain. 200-400 inches of snow per season. I have even used the blade to grade road base at times under the right conditions.
