Bucket Mount Snow Plow

thats quite genius!!!! love the idea, I built one similar just it pins onto my home built fork frame.... like the bucket mount idea even more!!

That's a clever idea, but I don't see the fascination with two cutting edges. It appears that the bucket edge would be easy to drag while plowing forward and scoop up snow between the blade and bucket.

As NIW said, the SSQA plate is a pretty handy way to go. Back dragging isn't a problem. The plow blade normally floats and presses down with its own weight (suspended with chain like on a pickup truck).

Using the SSQA plate allows the plow frame to be scooted back. That reduces the overall length of the equipment and gives the plow less leverage to act as a rudder.

Snow plows as normally mounted on trucks have no means of down pressure and do pretty well. I can add weight to the SSQA-mounted blade if necessary by putting the loader in float. If I'd encounter some really tenacious stuff, I can put the weight of the front half of my L4240 on the edge of the plow blade.

Here's a good thread on SSQA mounts:

That looks like an old Myers plow I had one on my 74 Jeep truck, damn thing weighed a ton

Darn nice idea, beats tying it down with chains or straps. I didn't get a QA for some basic reasons, loss of loader capacity, cost, and I really don't need it for anything else. I do agree that those old vehicle plows are heavy, I put a 6' on the BX last season and cut it down to 5' this summer to shed some static weight. I've given some thought to a bucket mount blade but haven't gone that route yet as I'm not sure I'd like the additional overall length of the unit but I like the idea of not having to drop the loader.
