Front mount Blade

Stopped by a used implement sales dealership, purchased a 2 bottom three point hitch plough:

I happened to have a camera. Here's someone's idea on a front mount blade.

Gives an idea on mounting and design:

May assist someone thinking of designing a front mount blade?

Was mounted on a Ferguson:

Remember the blades on the 2 cylinder john deere they ran a cable back to the power lift . If i remember there was one like this setup but they ran a cable back to the three point.
Seen an amish snowplow they took the steering end of a running gear put a wheel where the reach was then took a three point blade and mounted that in front the horses were hooked with one on each side of the reach . gas motor gave him hydraulic lift ,angle and steering. The exhaust pipe was next to the steel seat so maybe heated seat. It surprising the amount of snow They can push but did see one horse get a tore up leg when he pushed to far and the horse stepped in a road culvert
 
I like the idea of being able to angle it, but I would add a center pivot....current setup it needs to be detached from the tractor, and may be hard to re-align it when both sides" pins are out.
 
Looks like it works but if it was mine I'd want to put in something to give side support near the front axle. It looks like a long span of unsupported push bar from the blade to the back of the tractor. In the old V snow plow days my dad had a couple of cross chains on the front axle that would eliminate side sway on the otherwise unsupported push bar.
If you want a strong solid design look at a Leon or Degelman blade. I took an old Leon that orignally had the push bar hanging from the front axle. Which was fine but I decided to copy Degelman's design and have the push bar suspended from the front of the tractor leaving the front axle to pivot independently without affecting the blade tilt. Its crude and cheap but works great.

That tractor is too light in weight to handle an angled blade. If you get very much wet, heavy snow in front of the blade, the tractor will be pushed sideways. Doesn't work with a Farmall H either.
 
Yes but many of us live where there is no heavy wet snow:). I moved from an area that had almost all heavy wet snow to WI where we have very little. I had a front blade on my Deere 2510 and could easily push thru drifts taller than the hood. If I never see a wet snow again I will not care. Tom
 
It ought to have some trip springs on it and use a chain to pick it up. The chain will allow it to float.
 
Needs spring cushioning on the blade. If it runs into an immovable object going very fast, the operator will go flying off the seat. I saw this happen with a skid steer and a solid mounted blade. He was pushing snow off a parking lot and hit a speed bump. Messed the operator up pretty good. I like the beams coming back to the draw bar. Add some weight on the rear and chains and it could push pretty well.
 
Factory blades NO NOT have springs and you are not traveling fast enough to ever need them. Remember you are not traveling even 2 MPH when using one. And that same blade is used to cover tile ditches with dirt. Fact is the blade would not work if you had springs on it. And I do have the factory blade for that tractor about 70 years now. One year a friend tried to blow out my drive with his Suburban with a blade a nd it had springs and would do nothing but fold the blade down.
