What is involved in setting up the FEL to have a snowblade like the one in your picture? Is it then easy to switch between the FEL bucket, the snowblade, the forks/C class hitch, etc? Do you know if something similar could be done on a Kubota LA402 or LA403 FEL?
Kenneth, I *like* no snow too, our contracts are a standby fee, plus an amount per hour when there is work to do. In fact a lot of the winter work is not even dependant on a snowfall. After a good wind, or a freeze / thaw / freeze cycle we have to go out to clear and sand / salt the sidewlks too.
GMiller, there is very little involved in doing it. You need a way to mount it, in my case a multi-purpose utility frame. They *can* be mounted inside the bucket, but it adds a lot more weight to the front of the machine, you want the weight at the back. The only other thing you need is a pair of hydraulic lines to give you power angling on the blade. If you do not have hydraulic remotes you can make up a rigid bar to lock the bucket curl cylinders in place, and then install quick-disconnet fittings by putting T-fittings inline with that circuit.
The smaller machine and loader would be no problem at all, you would just need to scale down the blade that's all. I'm sure a 6' light duty blade from a small 4x4 like a Jeep TJ would work just fine.
