has anyone "made"their own plow.if so,got any pics?thanx

 

I don't have any pics, but I used an old garden tractor plow. The one I used was one that had a single channel that went from the blade mount to under the back end of the tractor. Tyhe channel is "U" shaped. I cut the end off and welded on a heavy square tube and cut out some tabs to fit the cycle country plow mount. I got the steel for free and the plow for free. I paid $40 for the mount, a couple of dollars for a HD eye bolt to lift it with and a winch and home made mount. Total: under $200. I have plowed with it last two years, the last one a lot of snow, w/o problems. I have bent the ends a little bit (I don't have any skids on it) from hitting sidewalks with the blade angled.

I made one using a plastic 55 gallon barrel(cut into arced sections) for the blade. It is 2 plastic layers thick with a steel ware bar bolted to the bottom edge. There is no need for trip springs because if it snags, the plastics will give and snap right back to shape. The frame is made of standard 3/4" pipe and fittings attached to brackets that extend down from my foot peg mounts. Mine swivels right, left, and straight. (This took the most work) I have been using it for 5 years and have had on 4 different machine. Very easy to modify the mounts for different machines. Other nice featute is that it is pretty lite so does not sag the front end when not in use. I add a sand weight when I plow.
