Legacy pusher project

Recommended Posts

Thought up this mechanism a couple years ago but didn't have a straight blade to try it.Found a blade for the Legacy and went at it.Took a couple weeks to get it built and I tried it out today with a light snow fall.Worked great and cut plowing time in half.

The wings are loosely attached to the crossbar and moved by a short arm and pin that rides in an arced slot in the wing.A spring pulls them forward and down for pushing.A 4" actuator pulls the wings up against the spring for normal angle plowing.

Pushed some snow this morning before daylight.Crappy videos but maybe you can get the idea.I got a little more testy with the wings,ramming into piles and swinging the blade sideways with it on the ground.No problems as they stayed pointed straight ahead.
