Loader-Mounted “Tilt Plow” For Compact Tractors

Loader-Mounted “Tilt Plow” For Compact Tractors TRACTORS Loaders This prototype “Tilt Plow” for compact tractors lets you use the tilt function on any front-end loader to change the angle of a front-mounted snowplow “Most compact loader tractors don’t have the hydraulics needed to adjust the angle of a front-mounted plow You have to either get off the tractor and pull a pin to manually reposition the plow or add to the hydraulic system which is very expensive ” says inventor Steven Chalmers Castle Rock Colo “With our patent pending ‘Tilt Plow’ changing the plow angle is as easy as tilting the loader forward and backward You tilt the loader forward to move a control arm to a different control point and tilt it backward to pull on the control point which rotates the plow accordingly ” Chalmers designed the Tilt Plow for his Kioti-40 hp tractor and has tested it on a 6-ft plow Since the Tilt Plow is operated in float mode he equipped the plow with a tail wheel to support the trailing end of the plow The Tilt Plow hooks up to the loader’s quick-tach system It comes with a short steel rod attached to a universal joint and a large horizontal plate with 3 slots that attaches on back of the plow The slots in the plate determine whether the plow angles to the left or right or straight ahead “If you need to lift the loader the plow’s angle will still be maintained ” says Chalmers A secondary benefit of the Tilt Plow is that it acts as its own carriage pivoting on the loader which allows it to follow the contour of the plowing surface better than a rigidly mounted blade Chalmers says the Tilt Plow could also be designed to clamp onto a bucket He is looking for a manufacturer Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Steven Chalmers 4829 N Mesa Drive Castle Rock Colo 80108 ph toll-free 833 278-2787 or 303 981-9879; steven@chalmersinnovations com You can watch a video of the Tilt Plow on YouTube at: https://chalmersinnovations com/pages/tiltplow
