Brought this in.

From outside. The snow plow for the MF 12 loader tractor. May put it on in the next few days. Been gunna take it in the last week or so before it gets covered in snow and ice. So it’s in now. Let it dry out for a bit. Mostly made of wood. The main frame and most of the wood is original from when I made it 33 years or so ago. I made it for my chev s10 truck. Then I scaled it down to fit on my toro lawn tractor I bought in 1992. It’s been on 3 more different tractors since. I added some 2x4 and the crazy carpet, to make it sort of curved. Was just a flat blade. Crazy carpet is great, nothing sticks.

That’s what kids use to slide down snow banks with Doug. Maybe called something else in your area. I think they were marketed that way with that name. Once you got on one of those and started down hill, you don’t stop until the hill runs out, and you could end up in any direction, while sliding down, and that’s why the name, crazy carpet.

Spoiled kids nowadays---LOL! We had to settle for an old pickup or car hood that would slice and gouge the riders when it would hit a tree or fence!

My kids had one or two of those don't recall them being called that but just looked them up called a Flexible Flyer Flying Carpet around here now

Robot or human?

One thing is for sure. Snow slides right off.

Our best was the drain pan out of a discarded refrigerator. Very fast no steering.
They made cars out of steel in them days. It took 4 of us half an hour to get the hood back up the hill.

I used to ride a scoop shovel down the snow banks. They don't steer very well either.

You should try 5-6 kids on a old satellite dish

We used a nice hunk of cardboard box in the day it worked pretty good, also had a big round old Coke-a-cola metal sign the 3 kids would get in had a rope tied to it and a snowmobile and away we'd go the dog even got in on the fun, found out years later that the coke sign was probably worth more than the snowmobile

Yeah Roger, those Coca Cola big red "button" signs have really gotten to be expensive collector items!

Are you planning to attach the blade "to" the bucket or "in place " of the bucket. Swivel ????

 

[Propane1]

Take the bucket off Bill. Put Plow on. It does not angle. It is hinged and spring loaded so it will trip, if it hits something.

Snap a picture or two of the back side mounting. Always interesting to see other ideas.

 

[Propane1]

Just some old brackets off of something Bill. Drilled holes in them to mount to loader. Two pins that hold the bucket on, hold the Plow on. The elbows are stops. They hit against the loader frame. Springs hook on plow and hook to frame of loader. The metal in the middle on the back of Plow is previous hook up to another tractor.

I may come up with a blade to attach to the bucket when I get a loader tractor. Level ground around here is at a premium and necessary to get bucket and loader lined up without some good lifting.

Simple but well thought out.. And better yet it works...
I like your trip set up...better than busting something or your knees when you hit something. I tried a solid mount plow once and was constantly bending up..

Below are a few pictures of my set-up on my loader. Obviously much different than Noels loader but I think its nice to see how others work to fabricate to what they have. The plow was a 50" ATV plow that I extended to 60". Most everything from the plow/frame part back I had to make ( minus pump/ cylinders). Works good now but was a lot reinventing things as you use it and see what works and what doesn't.
