Ok I’ve got a homemade push tube plow setup on my bike. Seems to me that the blade is too close to the bike. I Need someone to post common measurements front bumper to plow face or something common like inches between blade n tire at angled position……..
My options are to cut n sleeve the push tubes to extend them out. ORRRRR cut the mounting plate tabs that hang down and reweld them X amount of inches forward. This woukd be the more difficult of the 2 due to the plow plate narrowing towards the front.
Also as the pic shows I’m not getting the amount of lift I’d like to see. (9.5" ground to cutting edge) I know moving the plow forward will naturally give me more lift but I’m looking for more. I think my tubes should have a slight bend at the red arrows to create more lift.
Opinions??
How many degrees would work? ( I straightened the tubes because the welds broke free and they were bent wayyyy over.)
