I'm thinking about buying a "Snow-bear" plow, designed to go onto the front of a pick up. I want to put it onto the FEL of my B7800. Seems to attach with a 2" receiver, which I have on my bucket. Has anyone done this, or have any tips or advise?
With the price of those, why don't you just get one made for the tractor?I'm thinking about buying a "Snow-bear" plow, designed to go onto the front of a pick up.

It's used, and a smokin' deal.With the price of those, why don't you just get one made for the tractor?
It will be primarily on pavement, but some well packed and level gravel as well. I'm not too concerned about leaving a small skiff of snow on the gravel. Sounds like I'm going to want chains as well.Are you plowing in gravel or pavement? My Naibor ditched his bucket for a plow this year but since he has a driveway that is gravel and isn’t always level he tends to either dig in either in the middle, or on one of the sides, or it just misses a few inches of snow all togeher on the sides or the middle.. he has tried to adjust the skids many times but with a driveway As un-level as his it’s kind of a loosing battle..
That being said plows deffienlty have their advantages, angling the blade is one of the biggest advantages and they do work fantastic on pavement and level ground.
If you have a nice level gravel driveway then I’m sure it would be fine, or if your on pavement then it should work excellent.
Just figured I’d throw it out there.

I always keep the backhoe or the box blade on. Usually the BH.You also need ballast in the rear or filled tires to keep all that front end weight from loosing up the rear wheels.
