11/11/2023 0 Comments Mini dozer snow plowThe Bobcat is very light on the front end. I have DOM and stressproof for the pivots and plenty of 2x3x1/8" or 1x2x1/8" or 1x3x1/8" tubing for the frame. I have 3/16" steel for the moldboard (?) and 3/8"x3" grader blade for the cutting edge. Bolting will require design considerations to be made concerning the bottom edge. Welding is faster/easier, but I will have to cut it off when replacement time comes. Maybe copy an atv blade? My neighbor has one.Ĭan't decide whether to bolt or weld the cutting edge on. I don't know how much of a curve to give it. I am having trouble deciding how tall to make it. I want to mount tines/scarifiers across the top so when you put the blade face down the points are in the dirt. I do however want to have it adjustable forward and back to change the digging angle of the blade without changing the height (I want the arms to be all the way down with all four tires on the ground). I decided not to make it pivot side to side because I think it would just push the Bobcat sideways. I'm thinking 36-38" with bolt on wings for snow use. I don't want to make the blade too wide because I'm not sure the Bobcat could push it through hard dirt or a pile. I measured by laying 2x4s up against the tires and then measuring between them. So I should end up with 35 3/4" finished width. I am almost done with my 3/4" wheel spacers. My bobcat is currently 34 1/4" wide outside the tires. I managed to trade some work for materials and would like to start my dozer blade for my Bobcat M-371 this weekend.
