Tiny tractor utv snow plow conversion.

[jjeff]

Recently bought and assembled a cheap Chinese 70" utv plow I'm planning to weld to a blank 1/4" qa front loader plate which I'll use on my 21hp subcompact tractor up north. Currently have it set up to be 71" wide majority of plowing is me keeping it angled. For clean up I usually straighten it out. Figure as of now I'll cut the plow tubes around where qa plate sits on them in pictures I can still manually angle plow to its max either way and it won't stick way out on qa plate. After this ill weld a pipe to cutting edge, possibly use heavier duty trip springs than What came with plow I have laying around collecting dust and possibly have to chain the front tractor tires. Tractors front tires are so tiny atv vbar chains will fit it lol Now questions seeing as loader attachment arms are completely hydraulically adjustable ie raising lowering ,curling plow, and float. is it going to matter much where I weld plow arms to qa plate? Low, high, or in the middle of qa plate? I kind of lucked out I'll be cutting plow arms very near a cross support plate on plow arms and it will still allow complete max angling of plow. Look forward to suggestions and insight. All welding will probably be done with 7018 rod they are by far produce the strongest welds I've ever done and I'll probably run some 8018 beads for hard facing pipe.
