- Here's a walk-around of my homemade snow plow. This was a former truck plow that was fabricated to a skid steer quick attach plate for use on my tractor.

the underslung idea is great.
Thanks!!
Fantastic. I am currently in the process of creating my own and was wondering about the float process. Great video, thank you.
Thanks!! Did the video make sense on how it floats? If not, I’ll try to explain it more.
GREAT job Jared! I bet it will work really nice.
Thanks!! It has so far!
Congratulations Jared. You Sir Have made this "Adaptation "; the RIGHT WAY ! This IS the Way l would Do IT. Everyone else ( although with good intentions) ; just Realy "RIGGED IT". l even commend you on the "acknowledgment " of a "cross-over cushion valveing assembly ". Realy kool skid shoes( kind of look like my fabricated ones).Such a "Excelent Build". Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe snow-dozing. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Nice job!
Thanks!!
Great minds think alike. Thank you sur, this is exactly how I was in visioning setting up my new tractor with my old plow truck plow. You mentioned fusion 360 which leads me to believe you have some engineering background. Fusion 360 is definitely great software; I use it daily.
I have an electro mechanical background as well as IT. I spent several years working on CNC and manual machine tools as well as cranes, HVAC, etc. I took autocad classes in college and played with sketch-up for a while. I started playing with fusion recently though. I’ve only used it to create some items for 3D printing but hope to expand my usage of it. I’d like to eventually get a plasma table and I building a CNC router. Fusion will come in handy for both of those.
As far as the plow, I’m happy with the design. It floats so nicely not having the weight of the loader on it and keeping it underslung so the pivot is close to the plate has proven to be the best setup. It reduces loader flex and keeps the length shorter.
What do you do that has you using fusion?
Great vid, Jarod... Thanks for posting on FB page..
Thank you!!
Originally, I was going to just use the full length of the plow, knowing that would be a lot of leverage on the loader. This makes much more sense. I think we are working with similar plows. Does each hydraulic have only one hose? Mine does. I can't wrap my head around how to make that work, knowing my 3rd function grapple has a check valve. Thank you for taking the time to make a video and share your ideas!
I definitely like this setup.
Yes, one hose per cylinder. Where is your check valve? Right before the couplers?
@@JaredsShop I believe the check valves are where the step up would be and where the 3rd function install was. I could be wrong. I have a Kioti Ck2610 compact.
Hello Jared Great design and well thought out. Would it be possible to ask for a material list you used with steel sizes. Also do you have a pdf or doc file with all the dimensions to make this. I am a shop teach and want to make this a project for my class, as you talked about leverage and why you made the design closer to the tractor loader compared to other DIY designs out there. As we just received our plasma cutter I will have the students make the quick attach plate also as their is a lot of geometry with the angles of all that is needed to make it fit an lock on the loader.
All so after using your plow is there any adjustment or changes you would make.
thank you
With all that crushed rock, have you considered adding a 2.5-3" pipe the length of the cutting edge?
It doesn’t help that much. I have a plow on the front of my RTV 1140CPX and put a pipe on it years ago. Unfortunately, it was a lot of work for almost nothing. It still plows gravel. The pipe would probably work if the ground was frozen but when it’s not, it easily moves loose gravel. When making this plow I knew I’d have to find a different solution. I also considered using casters and may make a set some day to try.
Jared. I like your set up and I’m doing the same thing for my tractor. The one question I have is how you did your hoses for your angle cylinders??
Thank you. Are you asking how I routed them?
If only a plow like that would be reasonable around here. Can't find one under a grand, even old rusty crap.
That setup got to be heavy with all that box steel and a channel welded to the plate before you even hook the plow up. What do you have there 300-400 lbs
It’s probably 250#, give or take. The plate was about 75# and I’d guess there is no more than 175# in extra steel. It’s light enough that I could move it around by myself.
I really like this design. Can you share the size of the square tubes you used?
I will get you the dimensions. I just used what I had.
I was also wondering the dimensions of the tubing that you used, and the dimensions of the channel, fabulous idea I am about to build it myself for my skid steer
Most of the front frame is 2x3 tubing but there are also a couple pieces of 2.5 x 2.5 and 2 x 2. Once again, it was made with what I had laying around.

kinda putting those hydraulic cylinders in harms way underneath aren't you?
I don’t think so. No more harms way than when the plow is on a truck. I didn’t change the location of the cylinders. They’re still behind the plow and protected by the plow. In essence, all I did was put the pivot closer to the loader frame.
If you also asking if the cylinders can impact the frame I built, the answer is no. The A frame of the plow touches. I can actually push down on the frame I built and put it against the A frame and have down pressure for ice and such.
@@JaredsShop was thinking more of the ground itself damaging tubes .. laying on chunk of ice or something by accident.. great job BTW

Thank you!!
Then my first paragraph applies. They’re in the same place as when the plow is mounted to a truck. They aren’t any lower. The plow rides at the same height. I just didn’t want it sticking way out adding additional stresses to the loader frame and making harder for the front tires to get grip when steering.
