Back Blade Plowing

Mister · Dec 15, 2018

You guys need to turn your rear blade around backwards. That way it doesn't dig in to your gravel or dirt roads. I have one that I use that way in tandem with my front mounted plow, and it is amazing. The front blade does most the work, and the rear blade cleans up. I have one mile of roads on my property. Some of it is gravel. The rest is dirt. This combo works very well for me and it doesn't dig up my roads. The rear blade can also be used to back in to spots you want to move snow away from, vs pushing in to, so it can be very convenient.

That's some nice looking property you have there.

Nice looking tractor too.

I have found when I use the front blade to push snow I drop the back blade to pick up what I miss. I angle both blade the same way and from what I can remember from the last snow we had, it worked well

Thanks! I've got 20 acres in Northeastern Washington near the Idaho panhandle and Canada.

Couldn't be happier with this tractor and the plow setup

This is my first winter with the Kubota, and we don't get much snow here. I LIKE snow, and if we are lucky, we get 3 good snows of 3 inches or more. Sometimes we will see 6 inches, but usually a couple of 2-3 inch snows.

Anyway, I have read up from all you Great Lakes guys here, and have cobbled together something that I hope will serve my purpose if I am "lucky" enough to get decent snow this winter! I put a pvc pipe on my 6' back blade. I would rather have had a 5 foot blade for my B2320, but I found this 6' blade pretty cheap.

I had originally planned to take the cutting edge off and replace it with trex or something, but the bolts were pretty rusted and tight, and removing the first one didn't go so well. So, with my limited amount of snow, perhaps this will serve the purpose!

I enjoy reading the boards here and have learned quite a bit. Thanks everyone, and Merry Christmas!

Let us know how it holds up. My experience with PVC tells me it will be brittle at low temps, but who knows in that application? I haven't seen it before.

Give them rusted bolts a liberal squirt of Kroil, let em sit for a bit then give them a sharp hit with a hammer and drift punch. That should help to break them free.
