Kioti DK5010 with KL5510 Loader & 72" Bucket. Kawasaki Mule Pro MX SE with 66" snow plow.
The widest point on my 50 hp Kioti tractor is about 63" at the rear tires. I am considering a 6' or 7' plow. The max angle the plow goes to is 30 degrees. What do you recommend and why? May order one tomorrow (Thursday 11/10).

Thanks for your assistance!!!

I’d say 7 foot. I own a much smaller tractor, a JD 2025r. I don’t use a front blade but I do use a rear blade for snow removal and it’s 6 foot. It’s the perfect size for my tractor. This leads me to believe a 7 footer would be good for you.

Seems with that width of tractor, you'd have to got with 7ft. :unsure:

7 foot...once you angle the blade, you'll lose the width you will plow.
6 foot would probably result in a width less than the maximum width of your tractor

Why a plow instead of a snow blower for your conditions???????
You can get really hung up and start ditch diving with a plow before you realize if the ground is soft.
The other thing is if you are going to mount it in the bucket you can really do some damage to your
loader frame.

I have a snowblower already. It has its uses but also want an attachment that is quicker to get the job done as well.

Since we got a 6ft blade on our 6x6, we pretty much quite the blowing business. And we really do receive snow here.

As Roy wrote.
I like least 8" be on rear tire angle plowing around corners.

I agree with other's going with the 7' over the 6'. It is nice having some space between the tread and the berm of snow so you don't get sucked in. Will it be a rear blade or front plow?
