JD BACKHOE SNOW BLADE

lenray · Feb 11, 2021

I have a JD 410C 4X4 Backhoe with a cab and heat. I was wondering how a snow plow off a pickup truck would work on this tractor----I want to leave the front bucket on the tractor and bolt the A FRAME to the back inside of the bucket. What do you fellas think about this hookup???? Would the bucket cause me problems???

Would work fine, have seen a lot stuff like that. We even had a large snow plow from our trucks mounted in a payloader bucket.

I think the leaving the bucket on will make difficult to see what you are doing with the blade at times. It's very doable though. If you do it, get the biggest plow you can find. That machine will handle a 10 foot plow easily. Be sure to mount the A frame far enough to the front of the bucket so that when you angle the blade it will not hit the corner of your bucket.

I have a straight JD 410 2 wheel drive. It plays with two feet of snow with the regular 7 foot bucket.

Get a 10' snowpusher blade for it like they use for parking lots.

Pushing snow or dirt is a lot faster than loading the bucket and dumping it. I just let the bucket fill up and never dump it. Unless you want a wider blade why go to all that trouble? I do lots of work by the hour. I love it when someone wants to tell me how to do the work. They want me to fill the bucket and dump it in the trench. What they don't know is that way takes three times as much time as dozing the trench, but I'm happy to make three times as much money! Try it once!

I have a 12' snow pusher for my 2WD Ford 655A TLB. It's a lot for it, but I love it. I have chains rigged so it's about a 5 minute hook up. The pusher has large skids so I don't gouge. And the edge is adjustable to scrape however you want. There's enough slop where you drive into it with the bucket, that it floats nicely. When the snow gets real heavy, and/or I need to scrape up hard packed snow, I just take it off.

I put a 3 point set up on my front bucket so I could move bales too. If your bucket has a cutter bar on the front then it has bolt holes in place. Take a piece of 3/8" or 1/2" by 3" flat bar about 4 or 5 foot long so you can get a few bolts holes to line up. Then weld a couple pad eyes on the flat bar for the 3 point pins and a couple pad eyes on top of the bucket to put a top link pin in there. To mount the bottom of the 3 point bale spear I spread the pad eyes wider than normal so I could slide one side in, remove the bolted pin from the other side, slide the pin in and then screw the nut back tite. Might be a better way with a quick hitch setup for the pins but that is how I did it. The flat bar sits back far enough that it doesn't interfere with moving dirt and the pad eyes don't affect anything either. Leave it on all the time. If I remember, I can get a pic tomorrow if you want one. Come to think of it, I never welded the pad eyes on top, just used a chain.

Here is my case with an old heavy highway plow my dad got at an auction in the 70s.
