Snow plow wings?

[moe1965 744]

Hello all I was thinking of adding wings to my snow blade. I'm assuming that is what the two slots on both sides of the blade are for.  Any of you  have them added to there plow blade.   I think they would be a big help.  Any thoughts......

I have the ones in the thread linked below that were made by @JoeM

 

I've purchased brackets and Hardware but have not mounted them yet.

My intention is to put them on a 48 inch plow. I'll be keeping it straightforward all the time. No side tilt. I believe this should give me what is effectively a small version of a parking lot scoop type plow.

The slotted holes on the back lower edge of tech blade are for skids...

@moe1965  think I would personally , add a couple of , spring loaded slider cups to the outer bottom of  plow blade , look up related , quad accessories , similar could adapt . another thing to think about is the added tremendous side , angular force on that set up , your push point would be  feet away from its strength , have personally mineral oiled my plow blade  faces , for very easy slide off , they have an oiled patina slide point that makes quick work of plowing issues, like free HP ! another thing I do , is to bACK PLOW , my goal , giving me an easier go to point , zero rust on blade , the release is always clean / slick , also plow with the sun , moving it to a known melting spot , lets me easily , let the sun turn it into a slidable storm drain melt finish . those  plows really respond to a detailed squeeze lever , tune up , typically sloppy , rusty . the plow quadrant compression spring  drives the entire set up ! swings / moves with little effort . like to  set it up on milk crates , verify your  work / function , then install on tractor , swings with ease , pete

I really wish I could do more stuff, more often.... But most days my body is just too damn tired to move.
