There is a "hack" (on the tube) for plowing gravel driveways without scraping up all the gravel. Black plastic pipe bolted to the bottom of the blade. It's round so it should slide over the gravel where the blade would cut into the driveway. Just a thought. Dave

[@mrwinston_thepug]

its his driveway. He didnt make the video has a "How To". unfollow the channel and go back to your hole ,Troll !

[@twiztedreef]

That works ok on flat ground. But it leaves to much that just turns to ice on any kind of hill. Best thing to do is make your piles so that they aren’t in the yard and you put the gravel back on the drive when it thaws.

[@Chris_at_Home]

We just pack the first snow storm and then plow after that because we have snow on the ground from the beginning of November till the end of March. I plowed yesterday and will probably have to do it again in a few days.

[@MrPhils1958]

Replacing the missing foot would help too

Paul clean the front on the snow plow, and give it a good paint job. The snow will slide right off. Once you get the hydraulics plumbed you will really like it. Great video.

[@JT_70]

Paint? That might ruin the Rat Rod look.

[@jmit5650]

Just on the face of the blade. I know they don’t want to tarnish their image. But the snow will roll off the plow and not just push the way it is now.

[@daleisaacs7562]

just apply car wax to it. save the rat rod look and the snow won't stick to the wax.

[@RLee-zs1ds]

We live in Canada where I am driving on snow for 5 to 6 months a year, but now I have a local farmer clear the 1km private road and driveway. I love when we get a good dump of snow, a long walk with the dogs, a warm fire in the living room, hot coffee and a nice quiet day. One year we got 4m (13 feet) of snow, which was a bit much, the kids were climbing up the snow drifts and stepping on to the roof. Good memories.

[@thebrowns5337]

Enjoy it. We never really see much in the UK these days. Not in the Midlands anyway. Used to get full on drifts some years. Now we get sleet/slush at best.

[@Marty54GMC]

I plowed snow for numerous years when I lived in Fairbanks Alaska. Just me, my 1975 Chevy truck with a 9' plow, it was like therapy. Was always happy to see snow in the forecast. My route took about 14 hours. Moved to Washington State, now I have to walk behind my snowblower, can't justify a truck and plow in the development. 🌨🌨🌨

Works great. I have to say I prefer being in my pickup with the heater, radio and a cup of coffee, but it saved you finding a pump to nail it to one of those square bodies you have around.

[@Chris_at_Home]

11 years ago I found an old 84 square body with a nice Fisher plow for $3,000. The only maintenance I’ve done is oil changes, an alternator belt and a front axle u joint. I used it yesterday and will be using it again in a few days.

[@unknownsoul13]

Power steering pump will work on a truck snowplow, that's all my old square body had for years.

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

Same here. Much nicer to sit inside with coffee, heat and defrost when plowing snow. On my 1960's PowerWagon that they called the Beast the radio was more of a visual accessory that you could only hear when the engine was off since the big block V8 and factory straight through exhaust would drown out any radio (available back then) or conversation for that matter. I would have just left the plow factory and mounted the standard snow plow spring latches on the John Deer quick connects so I'd have the option to hook that up to what looks like a standard Western Plow Frame on any pickup truck and use the chain to suspend it. That way it pivots on the pins and floats as it should lowering the chance of flipping the blade on the overloads. Personally I prefer the heavier duty and more adjustable Fisher design with just the scraping edge that flips back to the fold over Western design that flips the whole blade flat when it overloads. Had to rescue too many with the Western plows who overloaded the blade and in a heartbeat ended up high centered on the snow load left when the blade flipped over and the front wheels of the truck ran up and over the banking. On a lot like Pauls though a Butterfly plow blade might be the best of both worlds due to its ability to turn into a standard V, straight/L/R angled, reverse V, right angle or left angle plow. Get a hard facing rod to treat 6 to 12 inches along the bottom of the scraper from each edge towards the center of the blade before it starts to wear and it will last a lot longer. Then every now and then just touch it up before any substantial wear occurs and life is good. Best!

I'm SOOOO glad I don't live in the snow!!! Was stationed in Brunswick, Maine for a year and a half. Snow and ice caused me to wreck my beautiful little '69 912. Black ice - 35 miles per hour - slid sideways into a 4 foot diameter oak tree - right behind the drivers side C pillar - bent the car in half! One day got up early to shovel about three inches of snow off the driveway - I had OD duty that day. Just as I got through, the city snow plow came through and piled up a three foot high by 5 foot wide pile at the entrance to my driveway, Thank you very much, NOT!!! Now it doesn't snow very much here in South West, GEORGIA, thank you so very much more!!

[@andrewedwards5889]

I've done this exact thing a few times. I'm not one to critique. When I do them. I find for me it's better to hinge the plow frame at the base run a stinger at the top with a chain down to the frame. That'll allow the blade to float

[@48VAC]

Nice job. on the plow. Only thing different I'd have done is made the plow float. Hinge the bottom connection and use chains. Makes a difference on a loader unless you are running it in float mode. Otherwise you dig too much gravel.

[@gailtaylor1636]

Saved me some typing. Maybe his hyd controls will have a float function?

[@Muledeere]

Those tractors have a float position on the hydraulics of the loader

[@gailtaylor1636]

@@Muledeere Good to know.

[@stevenhall1239]

​@@Muledeereyeah what he said.....

[@48VAC]

LIke I said in my original post, Unless he is running in float mode. I ran a setup very similar. But even in float mode the issue with it being rigid is that you are constantly having to adjust the tilt of the blade(bucket) according to ground conditions. Where as if it is hinged, it will do a much better job without gouging in. Been there, done that. Great reuse of a blade and still MUCH MUCH better than that box blade. Personally, I use a bucket on the front and a snow blower on the 3-point, but we get much more snow that I'm sure Paul gets.

[@lylevansickle4993]

You sould put a piece of rubber sandwiched in between the cutting edge and leave it about 2 inches and it works great for plowing, and it doesn’t make so much noise. It will not damage your concrete.

hey Paul if you put a steel pipe over the cutting edge on your plow you will not take all your gravel of your driveway. Seen it on another youtub video. Did it to mine works great

[@dsmreloader7552]

Or use a rubber tractor track instead of the steel blade

[@scrubbyoaks1528]

We use strips of that radial rubber old mining belt and sandwich it between the blade and plow. It takes a bit to wear it down but it’s easier on cement and the wet snow we get here I utah it squeegees really nice. If you do it only allow 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to hang free. It’s awesome for four wheeler snow plows to because when you hit the lips on a sidewalk it will give a little. Better than going over the handle bars.

[@stevehaken]

Yep, the awning needs to be extended. The awning you first installed is working great!

[@aaronsbarker]

I have wanted to do that on our tractor for a while... but i was going to put the lift bracket as close to the angle pivot as the geometry of the angle would allow... it would bring the blade closer to the tractor, make it easier to lift and allow for bracing to the front and rear.

Snow plows are handy and pretty awesome. We lived 1/4 mile from the main road in the mountains of NC when I was a teenager. Every year we plowed the road numerous times, and every spring we had to add new gravel. So, Paul, be prepared to haul in some new stone when spring arrives.

[@martykitson3442]

Yeah moving snow with that bucket is like shoveling a load of manure out the truck with a garden trowel, that will be even more efficient when you sort the hydraulics out👍👍 Edit spelling

[@davidcolantuoni9165]

Guys, I've done this a half dozen times. #1 plow should have been pivoted at bottom bar mount to tractor. And chained hard to top bar of tractor . This will let the blade float like it was on a truck. #2 if you do #1 you don't need a third function hydraulic just use the existing buck rotate control on the plow power angle. The plow rotate will lock hard when you use the hose quick connectors. Set the chain on blade and lift with the FEL . Believe me the chain float works so much better the the heavy FEL fload

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Shawn a tip for cutting, This also applies to welding, put yourself into a very comfortable position. Then with your torch move as far away from that position as you can comfortably. And make your pass slowly back into your most comfortable position. It’s supposed to help with planning and keeping steady. Cheers 🍻

[@burtcmcalpine]

So I watch all of your videos most are great, but this one I think you need to think about a redo. Here is why you should have used the chain on top and let the bottom pivot like it did on the truck. That is how mine is setup and it floats well. Your setup you will have to move the controls a lot to keep ground contact. It also would let it jump if you hung a curb. If you hang your it is likely to tweak the loader frame. I would consider reworking to to let it pivot and use the a chain on the top, so it can float. I have bent a load frame, huge pain to get it back right.

[@charleswelch249]

That's a great improvement for you guys. You put it to the test with that wet heavy snow and didn't break anything. Now you can send Hunter to plow driveways and make his payroll back for you 😂😂.

[@jeffproctor1690]

The best gravel friendly blade squegee I ever used was simply made out of old bias ply tire tread. Cut sidewalls off and split tire. It should give you a 6-8" wide strip 6 feet long. sandwich this between the front of blade and a continuous piece of 4"x1/4" flat stock on front of blade with about 2" hanging below the blade. This adds enough flex so the rubber wont dig but its strong enough to work snow. Also can get 2 uses out of tire by flipping it when worn down. Drill and bolt together sandwich every 8-10 inches and you are golden!
