Don't think it is likely that you are overbuilding it. There is a lot of force on a snow plow. Having said that the set up we have seems to work really well also. The old tractors were built very rugged. You would probably have to make a bracket with a pivot that mounts where the draw bar bolts up. Regardless, your up travel will be limited in the front by the tie rods. Thank you for watching!
thank you so much for this update! would it be better to support the plow from the rear axle? or am I over building it? thanks again!
