I have a Meyer snow plow. I bought a mounting plate. I have been lookieg at some on ebay to gt some Ideas on bracing. The one I like the most is the ones that a guy that goes by[ markssupply88]Its basically like a trailer tounge coming off the bottom of the tach plateTo the pivot point on the blade. That part I already have.,then two braces coming from the top of the tach plate down to about 6 inches behind the pivot pin on the blade.I dont have concerns about that being bullett proof.My concern is that the pivot point on the blade is strong enough to take the down pressure that a skid steer can apply . I know you wouldnt apply any more pressure than nessesary in plowing.But it seems it would have to be strong enough to take the weight of the front of the skid steer wether its applied intentionally or not. I have seen chains as a top link. then you only have gravity as down presure. I know the blade will flex forward with to much pressure when traveling.
How are they making them strong enough? Or an I under estimating the leverage that is applied there?I thought I saw a thread on this subject. cant remember any solution. I thought about some kind of heavy duty spring loaded top link. If this subject has been covered send me there Thanks Mike
