Smile Snow blade Wings?

I am looking to add a wing to my snow blade to keep the snow from rolling out when I have the blade angled. I been thru the search section for wings on a snow blade. but could not find what I am looking for. Does anyone have any pictures or input on how they mounted a wing to their snow blade? Any ideas/suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you for time.

Hey dbuck, how are you!!?? Well i am doing this right now with an old case plow and the wings are from and old honda blade that i got for free....i just used some small pcs of 1.5"x1.5" angle welded to the plow for "tabs" with holes to gather bolts....the hardest part is how to cut the wings....theyre flat on one side, the outside, but actually round on the other...they will sit and adjust from about 5-15° and make the 44" blade into about a 52" blade with the angle on the ends its awesome for cleanup....the 2" tabs are all that is done to mod the plow, the rest is in the "wing" ill try to get you some pics, its at the shop though.....for now i guess...this is what i used as a rough sketch....

I went to a 54" blade and that cured the problem. Even at the sharpest angle, I don't run over the discharge.

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

The wing is a great idea!!

Eons ago, I had a 54" blade on a 149, it seemed to be too much for the engine when pushing up hill,,,

I now use a 48" blade. 48" seems about right,



48" does a nice job of keeping you from running over snow with the blade angled,,,,



A wing that hinged out of the way, or quickly installed with a simple pin would be nice.
If I had such a wing, I would use it on light snow, or the last "cleanup" pass,,,,,

This is a great topic I hope turns into some good ideas. I've toyed with this thought before over the summer but it ended in "I'd rather be mowing ". I have a 54" blade and I WISH I had some way to (even with a couple nuts and bolts) add some kind of side or "wing" to the sides of the blade. Too many times I have to make multiple passes to clean up overspill in driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, etc.

My best thought is to use something I already have that would have the added benefit of being breakaway. I've got a large section of 3/4" horse stall mat laying around. If I could somehow cut and attach some sections to the end of the blade, that would allow me to catch that overspill but still be flexible enough to "breakaway" if I hit something buried in the snow. My only problem is how do I attach these wings to the end of the blade? Any ideas?

Edit: CAD; nice pics, but if a 54" blade was too big, the solution is simple; bigger tractor!! You have a Super, don't ya?

Did a little digging and found some ideas from "other tractor sites" (names won't be mentioned ).

There is a product made by ProVantage that adds scoop wings onto their product, but others have had good luck installing them on other brands/colors of blades. I bet these would work on our blades, but who's willing to be the test dummy

If it was me I'd check with your local welding shop and see if they couldn't roll a piece of steel to the same shape as the existing blade and weld it to your blade if all you want to do is make it wider. 6" on each side would give you a 54" blade.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
