  • Thanks; the blade has adjustable skid plates. They are only 2 1/2 X 3 inches square made out of 5/8 thick plate. I have some pictures posted of the tractor and blade on photobucket. Search " homemade 4x4 tractor" to find my album.

  • That's actually a Snowbear snowplow

  • @maximum1978 No it's not a Snowbear snowplow, it's homemade.

  • Are you using the former power steering pump as your source for hydraulic power?

  • @RustyCarnahan I'm using a belt driven hydraulic pump to operate the blade and a power steering pump for the steering.

  • Totally awesome, not expecting to see this under "home made tractors". Reminds me of a baby log skidder. Anyways I was wondering if you could give me some more info on the blade you built. That things looks like you bought it from western! I really want one for my tractor, but it would cost $3000 alone to buy that blade setup from western.

  • @Starzandstrps I have some pictures posted on photobucket that show some more blade detail. Just search "homemade tractor" and checkout my album. The blade was made mostly from used steel that I already had or from a scrap yard. The 1/8th. inch sheet steel for the blade was sheared and stamped every 1/2 inch to obtain the curve at a metal supply and machine shop.

  • @benjaminwayneb That makes sense. That way you don't need to have a priority valve in there. Good idea!
