Snow blade on a single axle tractor with your own hands

Tools

Without a special tool, the processing of metal can become quite difficult. In the handyman’s workshop, the following tools and devices should be prepared:

• Welding machine. Craftsmen often use small transformer or inverter units, which allow mobile work. Remember about the safety when working with welding.
• Angle grinder, commonly referred to as an angle grinder. Remember to protect flammable materials from sparks that can fly up to fifteen meters at work.
• Drill or torch with a set of metal drills of various diameters. Holes for bolt and pin connections will be needed.
• Clamps and clamps can be useful when working without a helper.

Attaching the dozer blade

To mount the grader you need to use brackets mounted on the frame of the power pack in use. Additionally, the blade is attached to the motor grader with two rods that when idle, make it possible to relieve the arms of the motor grader. Blade, made of 850x100x3 mm steel plate, is attached to the lower horizontal edge of the grader with bolts.

Now, after the blade is ready, you need to install it and you can start clearing snow drifts, removing debris or leveling the ground on your site. Blade for a power tiller with his own hands, it is a versatile equipment, with which you can perform a variety of works. Self-made will give the opportunity to get a multifunctional device adapted specifically to your needs.In order to ensure that the power tiller can last as long as possible and resist corrosion, it should be treated with a special primer or protective paint. The rubber band, fixed on the working edge of the shovel should protrude beyond the steel plate.

How to make a self-made mouldboard (shovel) for a single axle tractor

In Russia there are such winters that very often owners of private households are faced with the problem of removing large amounts of snow. Traditionally, this problem was solved with the help of ordinary shovels and various attachments. Now that many farms have at least motor blocks, which can be equipped with various types of attachments, cleaning snow, garbage and other work has become much easier.

You can, of course, buy such equipment in specialized stores, but often the owners of small agricultural machinery prefer to make it with their own hands. There’s more, that there is a lot of different information and drawings on this topic on the Internet. It allows not only to make the equipment with the necessary parameters, but also to save a lot of money.

Using a snowblower

Such a tool as a snowplow, which is coupled with a power tiller, is designed for clearing snow, trash, transferring soil from one end of the plot to the other, etc. п.

Such a tool can be used in different directions and places. For example, for the needs on a personal plot, in the field, for any economic activity.

Such a shovel greatly simplifies the process of cleaning something due to the large working surface.

The whole system looks as follows:

Such structures have a variety of modifications, which have common features. Basically, it is both the principle of operation and design of the device itself. Today the purchase of such a device is not some luxury. This is a common everyday technique of dacha owners for personal needs. With their help, you can easily clean up at the cottage, remove trash and snow, level the site, etc. п.

Self-made mouldboards

Now many people prefer to live in their own homes, and, accordingly, the surrounding area takes up more space. Motocultivators, power tillers and mini-tractors are purchased to work on the homestead.

In winter, snow removal turns into a competition of who wins. And owners who own motorized vehicles prefer to remove snow with it. Attachments on a single axle tractor are not cheap, so craftsmen prefer to make it themselves.

Widespread single–axle tractor of domestic production “Neva”. It has a regular place for attaching devices and rubber wheels, which are adapted for driving on loose snow. Most homemade shovels were made for the Neva.

On the Internet you can find many descriptions and drawings of shovels for power tillers with their own hands. But before making it, you should familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the shovels. The composition of the product:

Turning the shovel to the side allows you to remove snow mass while driving. Going to sites for amateur craftsmen, you can find a lot of information on how to make a mouldboard for a power tiller with your own hands.

Shovel from a cylinder

One of the handy materials for making the moldboard is a gas cylinder. Its height is just over a meter, and the recommended width of the shovel is 1000 mm. The work on the manufacture proceeds in the following sequence:

• Excess pressure from the cylinder, if any.
• Cut on both sides of the cover so that the width turned out to be equal to a meter.
• Cut the resulting pipe lengthwise into two halves
• Using a welder, connect the two halves together so that the height of the blade is approximately 700 mm.
• Bracket for mounting is made as follows. From a thick metal cut out a braid. Drill several holes in it, so as to turn the shovel in different directions. Weld a piece of pipe to the bracket.
• The resulting device is welded to the shovel at the height of the bracket on the power tiller.
• Installation is made by means of a thick pin.

The thickness of the cylinder is sufficient and no reinforcement is required. But you can equip the lower part with a thick rubber, which will remove loose snow and not spoil the compacted road. To do this, you need to take a rigid rubber from a rotary conveyor.

The width of the rubber blade is 100-150 mm. Drill holes in the mouldboard with an electric drill to fix the rubber. To reliably fix the blade needed metal strip 900h100h3 mm. Drill holes in the strip and in the blade, previously marking the moldboard. Bolt in place.

Sheet steel moldboard

Some craftsmen prefer to use new material rather than used elements. This is how you can make a homemade moldboard shovel from a 3 mm thick steel plate. For reinforcing take steel strip at least 5mm thick.

The material is cut according to the drawings. The blade of the shovel itself has four parts: the front, the bottom and the two sides. Welded structure needs to be reinforced. To do this, elements cut out of five bars are welded in a vertical direction.

Next, the swivel mechanism is made. It is an ear with a hole for the axle. The ear is welded to the angle, which is attached to the blade. The axle is fastened to one end of the pipe, and the other end is fixed to the power tiller. The required angle of rotation is fixed with a pin (dowel).

3 mm is a small thickness, so reinforcement is required. Cut out a 850x100x3 strip from a 3 mm sheet. You can fasten it with bolt joint, but you will have to drill or weld the strip first.

As you can see, to carry out the work you will need:

• working material;
• angle grinder with disks;
• An electric drill with drills;
• bolts with nuts;
• A welding machine with electrodes;
• wrenches;
• round or profiled pipe.

If you have certain skills, the work does not cause difficulties. And the resulting structure can be used not only in winter, but also in summer. Level the site after construction work, level the place for a children’s sandbox and more. It is for you to decide which design to choose.

Gas bottle dozer blade. how to make it yourself

The method of making a snowplow from a barrel has been known for quite a long time. It allows you to make an efficient and shockproof snowblower, able to cope not only with fresh snow, but also with snowdrifts up to 1 m high.

To assemble a rotary snowplow for a power tiller, you will need to prepare materials and equipment in advance.

• An old iron barrel, about 200 liters in volume;
• steel strip, size 85 x 10 cm and a thickness of at least 3 mm;
• Drills for working with metal;
• pliers and wrenches;
• a piece of thick steel plate;
• Electric drill and welding machine;
• a piece of thick rubber.

For the work will also necessarily need a detailed diagram. It should indicate the dimensions of the parts used and the sequence of their installation in the overall design.

The further order of assembly is as follows:

• Using an angle grinder with a used barrel to cut the top cover and bottom. The resulting cylinder should be cut into 3 equal longitudinal pieces;
• Two of the three pieces should be welded together along the existing contour. The remaining piece will need to be cut with an angle grinder into equal strips. in the future they will be used as stiffeners. Two of these strips should be welded to the sides of the shovel to be made, and all the other strips should be evenly distributed along its entire length;
• Next, in the lower part of the blade you need to install a blade for clearing snow. It can be made from a steel strip, size 8510 cm. It is necessary to drill three holes in the blade. Diameter of each of them should be about 6 mm, and the distance between them. about 20 cm. The blade must be attached to the working edge of the blade by means of suitable bolts;
• The next step is to assemble a mount for the blade. To do this, a piece of pipe needs to be welded to the central part of the finished blade;
• Then it will be necessary to make a holder, which should have an L-shape. The short part of this element is mounted in the swivel semicircle. The second side of the holder should be installed on the frame of the engine of the motoblock;
• The height of the mouldboard can always be adjusted with the two bolts used, which are screwed into the recesses provided in the square tube. The tube should be welded to the drawbar of the power tiller and put it on the used L-shaped holder. Making snowplough from the iron barrel clearly demonstrates video.

With self-made snow thrower from the barrel snow cleaning will be much easier and faster. Homemade device easily cope with the clearing of icy snow and drifts of wet frozen masses.

attachment of the dozer blade to Niva

Now, that would be to fix the blade on the car, and while securing spars of VAZ 2121 from destruction, I used a torque rod from a copeck, this one, sawed it in half, and inserted into a pipe 40×40 mm, bent it a little hammer and welded.

It turned out like this, in the photo it is already the repair of the moldboard, so one tube was replaced by a round one (2), and welded to the broken square tube, which was originally. The tube (1) remains as it was originally. In the photo the blade is reversed.

How the rotary snow thrower behaves when coupled to the ATV

Dump for snowWARN. I’ll note immediately, the quality of performance is quite good, thoughtful design. The width allows for quality work in a short time. Reliable adjustment and control mechanisms. Accordingly, a good quality product cannot be without a good price. I will note the high cost, the snowplow of this brand has a limited number of copies, due to delivery from America.

The snow shovel is also of high quality. High-quality painting. will protect against corrosion. Quite good accessibility. The difference from the American counterpart. the affordable price. They are much cheaper. Due to what, in my opinion, it is worth to pay attention to this model.

Sledge shovel for your power tiller with your own hands

The size of our shovel blade for power tiller will be 850h220h450mm. The blade itself is made of 2-3 mm thick steel sheet. The uprights, located on the inside, are made of 3-4 mm thick sheet metal and serve as stiffeners.

They are drilled on the spot holes to mount the blade to the boom, taking into account the strict vertical position of the blade in relation to the front of the tiller.

• 1. moldboard sheet (tin);
• 2. rack 4 pieces (stiffeners);
• 3. bottom moldboard sheet (tin plate);
• 4. knife;
• 5. eye bolt.

The bracket for attaching the dozer blade is installed on the tines of the power tiller, to which the base of the front tilt support of the power tiller is also attached, the same M10 bolts are used. With the brackets bolts M8 with wing nuts are fastened booms length 520 mm, which are attached to the moldboard stiffeners.

In the internal ribs of the stiffener (rack htolshchinoy 3-4 mm) drilled holes to connect the blade with the rods so that the blade is located in a vertical position in relation to the power tiller. the blade is additionally secured to the power tiller with two adjusting rods: when not in use, they allow the arms to be unloaded. A 3x100x850mm blade is bolted to the bottom of the blade.

The bottom of the moldboard is lined with tin to prevent it from digging into the ground. the bottom width (depth) can be smaller than shown in the drawing. With a blade height of 450mm and a depth of 220mm, it is more like a bucket.

Taking these recommendations as a basis and experimenting with dimensions will help to make a shovel-dump for different power tillers: Neva, Salyut, etc. Then snow removal with a snow blower will be easy and pleasant for you.
