Default Snow Plow Wings?
I got the opportunity to do a little snow plowing this winter as we don't get a lot of snow here in Oklahoma. I had an idea while out plowing yesterday. Plowing works very well when I angle the blade & roll the snow to grass but when I have to push it an end it seems like I spend a lot of time picking up the overflow trails.
Has anyone ever rigged up wings on a snow plow? I think the blowers have something like this on them.
I may try to come up with a plan for this so any input would be great.

You could split your blade in half and engineer a V-plow. When I plow sidewalks that are narrow, I HAVE TO angle my blade or else I end up with a lot of pieces of other people's yards in front of my blade at the end because their sidewalks are so narrow.

The idea I came up with is pretty simple. I was gonna use the top brace on the back of the blade & attach bushings on both sides then either one solid shaft all the way across or two separate shafts (one on each end) to attach the wings to. This way I could swing the arms up out of the way. I was thinking about using 1/8 or 3/16 sheet metal for the wings & 1/2X1/2 angle to frame around the wings for strength.

You could even copy the Pro Wings that are popular on pickup snow plows.

Same here. I'd love to V plow the sidewalk, it'd make it easier. That being said, I would rather not have a sidewalk going through my front lawn all together.

There are some posts on here where that's been done. As I remember, one had wings on both sides and one had a wing on the right side.

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.
