boss v plow on skid steer

[digdoug2001]

hello all. I have a boss rt1 v plow that I am planning on adapting to my skid steer. was wondering if anyone has done this conversion and could lend me some ideas or pictures. I thought about building my adapter similar to the boss model 90 v plow and just cut off the back half of the quick tach plate on the plow and weld directly to quick tach plate for skidf steer. or another idea was to weld the original hitch, the side that attached to pickup to my quick tach plate. I was fortunate to get all the wiring, pump, relays and valve body with the plow when I bought it. all ideas or help is appreciated

Seeing as no body else has commented, I will:
Looking at some pictures online, mounting should be pretty straight forward. You may even be able to tap into the hydraulics to remove the pump and power it off your skidsteer's hydraulics.
Let us know how you make out. Post some pictures if you can.
Cheers - SR

have it all done now. will post pics soon. will get it painted this spring. eliminated the hydraulic pump and used just the spool valve body coupled to skid loader hydraulics. cost me about $300 to convert it. that's including plate and misc steel and 2 hydraulic lines

Thanks SkidRoe!! I always try to overbuild, if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it once. Save on downtime and repairs. Identify and eliminate possible weak points.
