Snow plowing trick...

I posted this on here a long time ago but since it is snowplowing season I thought I would share this idea with people on here again. When the snow gets a bit deep for the 9n to plow effectively and I can't get the banks cut back on the sides of the driveway without getting sucked into the ditches I clamp a 2x10 that is 10 feet long to my 6 foot scraper blade. I just use 2 C clamps to hold it on and leave 4 foot sticking out to the right. It cuts the banks right down just like a gallion grader and makes my driveway about 16 feet wide. It takes about 2 minutes to put it on or take it back off and does a wonderful job on the driveway. It makes the whole yard a lot flatter too and keeps the blade from digging the grass or the stones in the drive. Try it, you will be impressed. It also actually adds weight to the back and the tractor will pull the entire 10 foot blade very well. Later.

I rigged up something similar on the side of a loader bucket once. Used an old plow moldboard to widen out the banks on the driveway.

That was a couple loader tractors ago, and fortunately we haven't had that much snow again for several years. The way things are going this year, might have to dream something like this up again.

Sure would like to see a picture of what you have set up on the blade.

I should have mentioned that I use a really heavy good old yellow pine 2x10 I found at the lumber yard a few years ago. It was mixed in with the white pine stuff and it is pretty heavy and can take a beating. I go easier with the 9n when I have it on there. Just slide it on the inside of your 6 ft blade and clamp it with deep reach big c clamps on each end to the blade. Leave 4 foot hanging off the right side and it works great! It moves so much more snow so much faster it is unreal. It also works to scrape out the mailbox area on the road where I can't quite get that 6 foot blade to reach. Skims it right out of there. Also floats the drive and yard very nice without digging in. Works great, trust me. You could drill a couple of holes and bolt it on but it is faster to use the two c clamps. Later.

Thank you davpal, that is an idea worth trying. I have been thinking of extending the width of my loader bucket on the front, but your idea will accomplish the same thing on the cheap.

Actually Greg I don't right now. But I could have it that way in 2 minutes! We never had the amount of snow this year to even do that. I have had a few 6 inch snowstorms but it never added up to the real big total amount. I didn't even put chains on this year. I live about 150 miles south of Gaylord and some of the snow keeps missing us. The rain never seems to miss us though! Right now it has just dropped below freezing and the wind is coming from the north at about 25 mph and it is starting to spit snow and ice. I hope we get another little blast of snow for riding snowmobiles. Later.

Have you got it rigged up now? My brother in Gaylord says they are expecting 5-10 inches.

i might try something like that...especially when i'm using a blade that one foot shorter than the width of the tractor! I know what you mean, I get sucked into the stupidest of snow piles on either side of the tractor tire.
