Points: 0 |  54" Deere Plow on a Kubota BX
I recently finished up this project in time for winter. I found a 54" Deere front Plow assembly off of a 316 or 318 series tractor and adapted it as a front plow on my BX2350.
Background: I could have gotten the Kubota factory plow, but when you factor the Kubota front hitch and then add the plow to it, it's getting pretty expensive. So I kept watching Craig's and Flea-bay and finally, luckily spied an ad for a Deere tractor, not running, but the guy mentioned having a blade he would sell separately.
Long story short, I got a 54" with Hydraulic Lift, but not Power angle kit.
The grapple helped with unloading:  |

I did a total disassemble, wire wheel, and paint job.
I scarfed up 2 NOS hydraulic cylinders and made pwoer angle brackets. (A and B in the pic.)  |

KennyD chastised me for painting a Deere implement orange, but we both finally came to terms with it, no blood was shed.  |

Next came the fun part, making an adapter assembly which would firmly bolt onto the BX frame to accept the Deere implement pins.   |

Ordered a 3' wide piece of 5160 Carbon spring steel, and made a Carbon steel cutting edge to replace the 2 piece edge that was original.
Later (not pictured) I added a 4" wide piece of rubber belt material as a squeegie.  |

The 54" blade is really the minimum amount I can use. A 60" would be more like it.
The upside to the 54" blade is that i can plow our front cobblestone walk to our front door. it's about 100 feet long, and 5 feet wide, so, shovelling isn't like a 5 minute job.
So, while I would love to have the 5 foot blade width, at least the 54" does give some added bonus doing the front walk.
I am thinking about some Quick Attach extensions for each side of the blade, something that could be rigged to slide into a piece of channel and fastened with a pin or two. That way I could use the width on the driveway, then disconnect the extensions for sidewalk duty.
Anyone have any thoughts??? |

Nice work, looks well done! I agree, a little more width would be an advantage and the tractor wouldn't even notice. |
