Truck snowplow on tractor front 3 point

[Agvg]

It has of course abs and ebs, and steerable wheels.

Silly me thinking that you were new to plowing
I think a simple triangular or inverted T would be simple enough to build, catching your 2 lower pins and top link. The bottom obviously being where the push plate that accepts the 2 "ears" on the plow.
Were you thinking of a rigid setup - raising the plow with the 3pt?

I was thinking inverted T Mount made from box tube
Definitely using front 3 point to raise/lower/float and existing front outlets for power angling. I actually have an additional power up/gravity down remote, too.
Rigid top mount or chain better…..


Best of all worlds would be to leave existing mount tabs the way they are so it could be used on tractor and truck.
Im always thinking in Swiss Army Knife mode lol

A small and nice 50km/h trailer, 20T pay load.View attachment 726852

Very nice dump trailer.



My Krone 4x4xc has a steerable axle and brakes.

Nice setup

I've seen a number of YouTube vids of tractors plowing snow in Europe. Considering how fast they're moving, they must have a pretty tall road gear

I do know that some brands/models do have a 'road gear' option, generally in the higher HP range models.

Local friend does rural private plowing and all his Kubotas are highway geared.

I expect most full sized utility tractors have a road gear...30-35 MPH, so they can travel reasonably fast between fields
CUTs, not so much...I think my 4052R tops out at 18 MPH (depends on the tire type and size)

One day it started on a backfire and had three speeds in reverse, one speed forward. (Or were they lying to me?)

I've heard stories from family members who way in the past had customers call in a panic because they did a tune up on their car and they had 3 speeds reverse, one forward. course, in those cases they had accidentally put the plug wires on incorrectly. can't confirm, but i assume it's true. i guess it would crank on the turn from the starter, then the plug firing would take over and it would spin backwards. maybe you could reproduce this on a backfire? i dunno... the cars were 2-strokes.

Road speed really helps when you have to get from one hay field to another with rain coming.
I remember the days of going 20mph between fields and losing precious minutes of baling time.
For snowplowing, it would be same thing.
Time is money.
I am seriously considering getting rid of both my small Kubotas (25mph) for another 30-35MPH tractor.

Found this 10’ Meyer plow and it’s local, but he wants $975. Looks kinda rough.
Might go have a look today. Never was a big Meyer fan, but seller says it does have a good cutting edge and a snow foil.

For those that have and those that are considering a truck plow on a tractor....dont forget a crossover relief to protect the hoses and pair of SA cylinders.

Truck plows seem to be cheap. And all the big players like Boss, Western, Meyer, Fisher, etc, etc are always re-inventing their mounting and thinking they have the next best thing. Landscaper/plowers are always upgrading their equipment. End result is you can usually find plows (blade only) pretty cheap. So if you are handy putting a truck plow on a tractor can be done pretty inexpensively.
