    Big red now has a winch and adjustable angle plow for icefest!!

    Has some scrap steel laying around, a few beers and some time today. Finished up the winch earlier in the week. I decided to attempt to make the plow adjustable angle without getting off the wheeler. Took some welding cutting, cutting back off and some more welding and beer but I was happy with the end result. Added some new springs, 2 vertical steel rods to stack weights on as well. Works nice with the new winh and battery. Kept the old left side manual lift rod all in tact just in case. All ready for Icefest Raffa.....

    Where are you adding the weights?
    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    I have a 46" blade on my BR, and haven't needed any weight added to the blade or machine, but thought about strapping a sandbag to the rear rack. The chains would be nice, but don't want to chew up my asphalt....
