Snowplow Mounts On Loader Bucket

Snowplow mounts on loader bucket TRACTORS Loaders 9-2-27 You'll like this new loader-mounted snowplow blade that attaches and detaches in seconds to any tractor bucket. Inventor-manufacturer Bill Guest, Torrington, Conn., says the new loader blade has lots of advantages over 3-pt: mounted blades. "It makes it easier for the operator to see where he's going and there's more reach for pushing snow over embankments or pushing up into piles. It also lets you travel faster and have better control." The heavy-duty plow is built to construction industry standards since Guest offers the blade as an accessory for large construction loader tractors. A 10-ft. Guest plow blade, for example, weighs about 1,000 lbs. versus 500 to 600 lbs. for a conventional pickup-mounted plow. The new plow has a hardened cutting edge that's also spring-loaded so it'll bend back up to 60? if it hits an obstacle. Guest says it bends back just enough to slip over obstacles without losing its load of snow. The blade attaches to a loader with two hand-tightened clamps that lock in place with two pins. The blade pivots back and forth 30? to either side. Blades come in 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10-ft. models ranging in price from $950 to $2,650. The 8-ft. model is designed to fit a bucket about 52 in. in width. The clamps themselves are available separately to fit to existing blades. They sell for $660 to $790 per pair.
