Reversible Snow Scoop Fits Front-End Loader

Reversible Snow Scoop Fits Front-End Loader TRACTORS Loaders 25-1-10 Don Campbell lives in an area of Northern Michigan that gets a lot of snow every year. He does commercial snow removal for local residents and businesses. One of his snow movers is a Deere 5400 with a snowblower on the 3-pt. hitch. "I also wanted something to mount on the front end to move large amounts of snow backwards or forward," says Campbell, who came up with the idea of a snowblade with reversible wings. The main blade is 1/4-in. steel. The wings are also 1/4-in. thick, mounted on hinges made from 6-in. long pieces of 1/2-in. dia. pipe with 1/2-in. dia. steel rod slipped through. To reverse the wings, Campbell simply pulls one pin on each side and swings them forward or back. "I can move large amounts of snow in either direction," says Campbell, who welded quick-tach brackets to the back of the blade for easy mounting and dismounting.
