Double Blades Shorten Snowplow Time SNOWBLOWERS Snowblowers 28-6-34 Ted Gaura wanted to reduce snow plowing time. The 2020 Deere he used to clear snow already had a blade on the back. He decided to find an inexpensive way to put one on the front as well.
Gaura bought a used truck plow, and put a piece of poly sheeting over it to ensure that snow wouldn't stick. He also added "wings" to each side.
He made the wings out of a 30-in. dia. piece of steel pipe cut in half. "It was almost a perfect curve for it," he says.
He then bolted the whole thing to the loader by making brackets that bolt onto the bucket then pinned the frame of the truck snow plow into the brackets. "When it's off, it's completely off; there are no brackets left in the bucket," Gaura says.
The hydraulic pump that came with the plow turns the whole thing right and left while the tractor's arms raise and lower it.
He also added a heated cab to the tractor by modifying a 4020 cab to fit.
