SSQA snowplow mount

[chuck172]

on my DK45 i contacted Kioti directly and asked about front chains. they told me there is no problem on the DK series. not sure how that relates to the CK series

I thought I read somewhere that front chains were not permissible on the ck35, I could be wrong, can't find anything in the OM. I'm asking in the Kioti forum.

I used this old Arctic snow blade that was on my truck for 16 years and adapted to our then Kubota 4240. That was back in 2008 and now it's used on our 5740 and it's used commercially all it's life. Very happy with it and never had an issue.

Don't you only use yours on blacktop?

Having lateral float, a spring trip edge and a cross over relief valve will pretty much eliminate any damage to the loader or blade. I have a 1/4 mile gravel drive and 300 feet of blacktop by the house and it works great, as long as you don't plow when it's a soupy mess. If you have a lot of freeze thaw cycles it can drive you nuts. Around here it freezes in November and stays that way until April. This year I think it was May.......:laughing:

No. About 30% of private driveways that I do are gravel or crushed stone covered.

google "fel twisted arms -fell site:www.tractorbynet.com" without quotes
searchs for FEL TWISTED ARMS removes anything with -fell, and just searches TBN.

Out of all this I saw where one loader on plowsite was bent by a snow pusher. Snow pushers are solid mounted and no trip springs like a snow plow.
The next site a members claims he bent his loader arms 40 years ago with a snowplow when he hit a bolder.

When I googled the tractor by net twisted Fel arm thing I did not see any of the loaders mentioned being twisted due to using a snow plow. NONE
