Custom Skid Steer Plow Build for Bobcat MT85

[@viktorpolovyy2059]

Need to see this in action, great job

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Watch our recent video. There is a little footage of the plow in that video.

[@adamdivine]

This is great. I'd like to see more videos over it if you are still using it. How does it perform, and what is the deepest its pushed?

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Works great! We have used it in the big skid too. Most it’s pushed is like 6” but it’s been great since we built it

[@mattslandscaping4246]

Awesome video you guys are exactly like me if you can't buy it you make it

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

That’s right! We always find a way 👍🏼

[@mattslandscaping4246]

@@nickenslandscapingexcavating I fix my stuff all the time or modify stuff to make it work for me👍

Same here nasty storm coming party time 😀😀😀💰💰💰💰💰

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Looks like another one on the way! 🙂

[@ricepadi29]

Hell ya nice job.

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Thanks man 👍🏼

[@mikesautomaintenance5780]

Looks sweet man I would also weld up some tops on the square tubing that runs up and down so nothing can get straight down in there and rut it out faster

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Thanks man! I agree, we need to get those covered up 👍🏼

[@franciscoramirez5362]

Great work! What will you be using that machine for? Thanks for sharing!

This will be for sidewalks at our big commercial properties

[@barneslawntree4877]

Are steel cutting edges a bad idea for residential driveways? Is a poly edge the best option?

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

It’s not a bad idea but poly edges are usually more popular for driveways.

[@VigilantRocks]

Where did you get the hydraulic lines? Thanks!!

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

We got them at a local shop that makes them. A lot of places make hydraulic lines. You will need to get the fittings from your dealer. Your dealer can also make custom lines. They will just need to know what size thread the cylinder is

[@RiverValleyLandscaping]

I would have mounted a chain for lifting instead of rigid mounting it with the square tube. And then have a pin connection like a normal plow allowing it to have some float so you don’t have to keep adjusting the loader arms to keep the plow on the ground. This would also allow the tracks to keep full ground pressure for traction while pushing.

[@MattyDardani]

I actually did that with a skid steer plow turns out it was a bad idea for me because when you stack or hop curbs it bounces and that bouncing made the skid steer quick attach plate bent just enough where we couldn’t put any other attachments on the machine.

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Like ER we tried this before and it was not enough down pressure and eventually led to things bending. The new design worked great last storm. A little learning curve but after a couple minutes we were rocking and rolling.

[@treadlightlyservicesllc.1930]

You're going to want to take those Factory Tracks off there if you're going to plow snow with the mini. The original bobcat C pattern tracks are trash for falling snow you need the multibar Bobcat Style.

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Learned that last storm. Definitely on our list for upgrades going into next winter.

[@thewhiteknight02]

Gonna leave it big or cut down for walks?

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Leaving it big for now. It worked out great last storm 👍🏼

[@blacksmokematters4521]

Maybe we will finally get some snow next week

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Finally got some! Hopefully some more this week! Ice at least

[@williamb5449]

Broke ground on your house by now?

[@nickenslandscapingexcavating]

Yessir! Hopefully posting an update soon 👍🏼
