Yep the aluminum is braised as well. About that video, how about you send me some snow first :D

Re: PROTECH Snow plow for the 966

So you used a Duraflex welding rod & acetylene torch to braze?

That probably work pretty good in the dirt too, eh?

Re: PROTECH Snow plow for the 966

Ayoub. Nice job. I see the real ones all over the place, Exact match! Thanks for the props for some of the materials. All we need is some snow now... Then we can meet at that Home Depot and move some snow with our box plows. Love the welds!!
Thanks,
Eddie

Yep you're correct Joe on the braising, this thing is solid. It will push dirt, sand , rocks or whatever.

Here is a little Video I did by my self. Was freezing cold :(

Re: PROTECH Snow plow for the 966

Cool video. The box blade looks great on the loader.

One thing I learned a long time ago is if you leave the model out in the cold a little while before running it, the tires will get cold and the snow wont stick to them. This helps a lot with traction especially in wet snow like you had. I always keep the batteries inside in the warm to keep up thier performance. Not sure what the cold would do to the hydraulics though so maybe this is not a good idea.

I needed to stick the bucket in the snow to cool it down and scoop a clean path to set the loader down on just for the initial starting push to get more traction. Oh well good points for next time when I plan ahead :cop:

Re: PROTECH Snow plow for the 966
