Read articles →An owner-operator documents a heavy Michigan snowfall (8-18 inch drifts) using a DIY quick-attach plow and rear blade on his L3400. The main value is his detailed explanation of a pivot-point modification he made to the plow, why he did it, how it protects the loader arms, and how adjustable skid shoes let him switch between concrete and gravel. Best for L3400 owners considering a budget plow setup or that specific mod.

The old rigid mount used loader float mode, putting all the weight and force on the loader arms and pins, which was hard on the machine and reduced traction.
Set almost flat with the blade, lowering the loader arms more makes the skid shoes engage and lift the cutting edge off the ground, useful on gravel or uneven driveways.
The rear blade is used almost exclusively in normal 2-6 inch snowstorms for a clean finish, while the front plow handles heavier snow and drifts and cleans up driveway ends.
