Dozer blade

[Wisfarmer82]

Hi guys,
Can anybody tell me who made this plow set up and how
well it works for plowing snow. Thanks,Jon

Welcome to the forum Jon.
I do not know who made that plow setup, but someone will.
It looks like it has both up and down pressure.
That's a big plus for grading dirt, but a float position works
better for plowing snow and not tearing up your driveway and/or
tractor when you hit something frozen.
Some models can be modified by adding a chain between the
cylinder and the blade to lift it.
That way it doesn't push down, it just adds slack to the chain.

Here is a Dearborn Model 19-80 hydraulic set up on a 1955 Ford 860....it works great for snow.

I believe this frame was original equipment for the 100 and 1000 Series Fords.

Never seen one like it. I doubt it's original Ford - Might be home built. Royse is right; down pressure is ok for dirt but not for snow.
Someone's battery is low.

Looks like the blade I have on my 631 works good for plowing snow without down pressure

8nr--wi where does that plow system you have mount underneath? Are them plows hard to come by?
Thanks,Jon

4-bolts as shown in this diagram.....they show up around our area 3-4 times a year...my frame came from MN. My blade from WI.

Where you located?

8nr-wi do you have any pics you could send me of the mounting underneath I would like to built one.
Thanks,Jon

That is a dearborn plow and mount.
The round tubes on the under tractor part of the frame tells it was for the hundred and 4 cylinder early thousand series. The 3 cylinder frames use a Channel iron frame under the tractor. The front mounting plate was also different but could be modified.
If the plow has trip springs it was classified as a snow plow. Solid mount with no springs was a dozer. The trip springs and mount could be bought seperately and added.
The lift only gravity down with float vs. hydraulic lift and lower with down preasure would be chosen by the way the hydraulic control valve was set us and could be changed as desired.

RWK, are you referring to the original poster's picture, or the other ones?
I can't see all that detail in the original picture.
I have a similar dozer blade here in my back yard.
As you can see, mine does not have trip springs.
But it does not look like the OP's mounting bracket either.

If it ever stops raining on a weekend, I will crawl under mine and take a few pics....it mounts right up to existing holes on the tractor.

Ok that sounds good I appreciate that. Thanks,Jon

Royse, I think yours is a home / shop made
unit based on the Dearborn design but has
some differences. The box frame on the
blade is definitely not Dearborn. If yours has
a chain in the lift that also rules out Dearborn.
Hope this helps.

Same blade with a newer frame work. This is my 3910, best thing for snow was putting on the front blade. 3910 has hyd up down and float.
