Glad I could help. :Thmup:
I've got about $15 tied up in gas getting the sheet (sheet was free) and called in a favor on the box brake. A good tinner with equipment could probably make it feasible but I wouldn't.
Hopefully you'll have your ends soon. It's tempting to put steel ends on but I think you'll just end up busting the shock itself or breaking the male studs off.
Yes, the 855d will definitely run out of horsepower before it will run out of traction. I have a front mounted winch and thought about going with a winch operated blade but went the Boss route...
I've got $3250 in the Boss v plow, 3 plow shoes, smarthitch kit, gallon of oil, and shipping. Played with it a little and will make some more adjustments yet. I took the middle shoe out. Being a...

The toughest part was bending the 3 sided front and the corners. If you don't radius the corners, you'll waste a lot of useable space. The galvanizing is corroded and a little rusty on the bottom. I...

The above is a link to ball sockets from McMaster Carr. They carry them in steel but plastic may be better as a fail point. When mine broke, the bed...

Got it bent up and riveted today. I'll probably get some trim to put around the edge.

I've had trouble accessing the forum on my iPhone/iPad for a few weeks and can't get it on my desktop much either. I'm now on it with 4g iPhone service but couldn't get it on wifi. I have no trouble...
I've got the tin cut. I'll bend it up tomorrow. The 2 spots where the 3 front tabs meet will be a week spot as the layout doesn't give much meat for tabs.

Here's my 361 with 25" bar in mine. I only carry my ms200t in mine. I certainly wouldn't want to go off roading at 40 mph with it in there though.

I bought mine at menards on clearance for around $40. It's worth that much at least.
I have the Kolpin chainsaw clamp on mine. It'd depend on how you mount it. With the saw verticle, it would hold a great deal.
We got about an inch today so not even enough to worry about putting it on yet. The whole state of Indiana can thank me for all the snow we won't get now that I bought a nice plow.

I bought the following from this place. https://www.redsgarage.com/
Boss V Plow for 2011 855D
Smarthitch kit
3 plow shoes
Leg strap for controller
Gallon of oil
for $3250 shipped from New...
I just bought and installed the front hood rack on my 855. Tomorrow, I'm picking up a 5'x2' piece of galvanized sheet metal. The plan is to bend it into a nice box to fit inside the rack so I can...
PM me your mailing address and I'll send you a couple of them. I had the same thing happen to mine. I don't remember how I found my way to the cylinder manufacturer but it's AVM Industries. I...
Now you'll just have to put some exhaust stacks at the front of your bed.
The grapple bucket is great. I don't have to fight the bar bind that way either. I bought my tractor used with all kinds of attachments with it. One of the things I got was pallet forks. When I...
It's nice having equipment to do the job. I pick up the logs with the grapple. Gets the logs waist high and my bar out of the dirt.

Actually, I don't burn wood. I put in a geothermal instead. I had just over 100 trees logged 2 years ago and I've been cleaning up the tops little by little. I've burnt a metric butt load of wood in...
