Jarrett,

First off, Welcome to Red Square.

Now to try and answer your question. Go to the FAQ forum and look at the Snow Plow info that is posted there. I think you will find your answer.

Any long frame plow will work, does not even need the angle handle, the 520's with the swept axle all need a ext. kit, it moves the blade about 4" forwards, it is a 3 piece kit rear bracket that hooks the the back of the blade to move the mount location, a center lift relocation mount, and the angle handle that is bent backwards to clean the PTO and makes it easier to reach.

The kits bring more money than the blades do, in the $200-250 range for a complete kit with out the blade so if you find one cheaper buy it.

Heres pictures of my extension kit so you'll know what the extension kit consists of.

This piece is what extends the plow framp forward so when angled the plow blade does not hit the front tires.

This piece goes in the plow frame (where the lift attachment point is) to move the lift point back so it will still mate up with the tractors lift arm.

I also have the lever used to angle the blade which has a 4"bend or offset in it to bring the angle lever back within reach of the operator, and to make sure the lever clears the PTO. Sorry, no pictures of it right now.

I had planned on putting this kit up for sale when winter started showing its ugly face (Octoberish) but send me a message if your interested.

When you look at a snow plow for a forward swept like the  front axle like the 520 hydros have . make sure you get the extension and the lift bar that lines it up to the lift lever and also the angle  handle  and angle rod a lot of the guys sell them with the blade and carriage only  .Good luck
