    Snow plow setup

    Yea I looked at making a steel box to bolt to the frame tabs and using rebard and then pouring concrete in it but it was going to be 300+ for all the steel and concrete. So the cology block will woirk for the price and even has the rebar hook so I can get it off when not needed. I mean I might...

    Update : Got a good price on some ecology blocks today from a place here in town. 4ft long, 2ft wide and 2 ft tall and weight 2,850lbs each. I will be just adding the one infront of my gooseneck hitch but I might have to add a cross frame in the open area. I would like to add another either on...

    Snow plow setup

    Mine came off an M211 so It mounted right up to my M-61. just had to drill the holes in the front frame. The only thing I had to get was some longer rear support plates from 2' to 3' plates to mount to the frame. I have to get my winch mounted with a steel plate mounted to operate the plow. Ive...

    Snow plow setup

    I am near Kalispell. My plow actually came from the Georgetown Lake FD. There are chains posted on here in the classified sections. You will have to make some sort of rear weight system for the axles to even have some traction on your rear even with chains. I have some extra 14.00s if your...

    Snow plow setup

    Yea it gets to be pretty bad up here. One issue with it is that alot of the roads where i live are only 10ft or 11ft wide in someplaces(old logging roads) anyways. And as for the plow. Yes I want to plow some people from alberta off the road a few times even in the middle of the summer :D

    Snow plow setup

    anything over 10ft 6inches wide in montana requires oversized load signs front and rear. with revolving lights. even applies to snow plows. The permit go over 8ft 6inches wide is $75 a year as well. So you have to buy the permit no matter what. I guess you could always paint OVERSIZED load onto...

    Snow plow setup

    Did a little work today and got the pusher mount bolted to the bumper with 6 grade 8 1/2" bolts on each side. I moved the eyelet mounting bracket over about 1" to the inside. and resecured it with 2 1/2" bolts. So the roller is now attached. Will be working on mounting the winch tomorrow or...

    Snow plow setup

    a few more pics of everything. I will have the pusher bumper done tomorrow and then ill be working on adding the 12k ramsey electric winch. I think I made quite a steal on this plow since the guy went down to $250 for the whole thing. the blade is 10' wide and 3'2" tall.

    Snow plow setup

    Got the plow back to my place today and is one heavy system. It came apart into 5 big sections and 2 flat plates for mounting to the frame. I did some work today on it and got the pusher and vehicle mounting part measured out and did some cutting to get it mounted on the truck was pretty...

    Snow plow setup

    I am going tomorrow to pickup a snow plow system, blade, mount, pusher bars,bumper, and pto winch. It is on an REO at the moment and it is pretty ragged out that the truck only would be good for a scrapyard. It is a 10ft wide plow. They used it around this lake in SW Montana to plow the roads...
