[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 20252, member: 307"] I use a 8 ft straight blade with hyd angle. I put forward swept wings on it making it 10' wide overall. The wings angle forward at 30 degrees, which still allows angle plowing but when the blade is straight it will carry twice the volume as a straight blade. The wings have rubber cutting edges that can compress so the trip function on the blade will still work. Sort of the best of both worlds imo. Also say your pllowing a flat drive way and the ground in front begine to fall on the right hand side the plows center pivot point should allow the blade to follow the ground while the loader is still back on the flat area. My old meyers was worn enough to allow this to happen, Erskine blades are built to allow this movement. I had a 8' snow bucket but did not like it because the outside corners were always digging in because it was locked solid to the loader boom. A pusher would be the same. However if your areas are relatively flat this may not concern you If you want a pusher be sure your plowing area has vary few obstacles that could hook the pusher and snub you up. For my yard I consider the trip a must. If you convert a truck plow you will need a flow restrictor in the hyd lines unless your 853 has proportional flow or the angle will be way to fast. I'd try to chose a more heavy duty blade and only have to convert it once.
