[jimbob200521]

Did some more browsing guys and found a simple solution for "wings" on another site. Thoughts?

The pre-mentioned 54" blade went to a new owner, along with the 149 that pushed it!!

I only hooked up the Gravely blade because I got it with another machine,,,,

We want snow! We want snow!!

The one in post 9 by jimbob is somewhat similar to what im doing..its in early stages as i ended up putting the plow on the case to clear snow this year, but the angles running parallel with the blade (on the blade) make the pivot point, for the wings one facing up, one facing down, about 2" apart, to except the 2" square tubing on the wings...was going to put a bolt in it or a pin for the pivot, and was either going to do a threaded rod and nuts, or just drill a series of holes in a plate on the top side, or going through a little slot in the blade more towards the center to change the angle with a pin, from the back side of the blade....wish i had some pics, alot easier than it sounds, and will get some, just be a while as the chopped up honda plow is at my dads shop on the arlington prairie, but ill work on it....

I did this in the Fall and since this winter was kind of a dud, I couldn't give any feedback on it, until now. We had about 24" of lighter snow the other week and we just got 8" of very wet heavy stuff today. I am very happy with the wings. When the blade is straight it really does hold a lot before it starts to creep out the sides. Basically acts like a Pusher. With this wet stuff it really held a lot in front before it started coming out. With the Plow angled slightly and one wing off, I do not get slide over on the 'wrong' side, it feeds it out as it should. This is what I was hoping to accomplish. I think this is what you wanted to accomplish as well. So I'm happy. The wings come off easily by pulling two "R" clips. I can take off one side or the other depending on the angle. I had some "C" channel that I cut down for the wings.Added 3/8" rod to the Channel.
I welded 1/2 pipe nipples to the plow.

To me, the 42" blades are only suitable for straight blade pushes.

They are good (the 42") for clearing sidewalks if you live in the 'burbs. That being said, one could just angle the 54"............
