I have a commercial snowplowing business and bought my tractor with plowing in mind and also being able to use the FEL for snow removal. I took one of my older 8' Fisher blades with a foil on top and converted it to fit the tractor. Here is how i did it and made it work. First, I cut all the pistons and frame work off so that I just had the blade to deal with. I then had a fabricator duplicate my quick disconect setup that is on my bucket and carry it over onto the plow blade. I dont have all the extra weight and the plow is much closer to the tractor which helps with balance. I can go from bucket to plow in about 30 seconds. I then had sides welded on the plow to make it a pusher blade. It worked absolutely flawless all winter long. I put 145 hrs on this setup this winter just plowing !! It cost me about 300.00 to do this setup. You dont have any capabilities of a 4 way plow, but I prefer the push snow this way as you take a full 8' of snow as opposed to angling the snow and doubling your pile every few runs

Feel free to contact me for any more info

[QUOTE=kthompson;152868] Otis,What type of growth will you be cutting? small trees, heavy brush, rough grass, mostly or totally grass without brush or large clumping grass? Then, what do will you use those areas for? already realize you are not expecting golf course finish. [/QUOTE]

Two different situations. One , Ill be mowing two lawns and I will also be knocking overgrowth down and mowing it afterwards trying to get it to resemble a lawn. No small trees or anything like that
