Are you tired of shoveling snow by hand every winter? Building a snow blade for your quad can save you time and effort when it comes to snow removal. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of constructing your own snow blade for a quad. Let’s get started!

Materials You’ll Need

  • Steel sheet (at least ¼ inch thick)
  • Angle iron
  • Welding machine
  • Paint or spray-on bedliner
  • Drill
  • Bolts and nuts
  • Measuring tape
  • Circular saw or plasma cutter
  • Marker or chalk

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Steel Sheet

Start by measuring the width of your quad’s front wheels. This will determine how wide your snow blade should be. Add a few inches on each side for better snow coverage. Use a circular saw or plasma cutter to cut the steel sheet to the desired dimensions.

Step 2: Prepare the Angle Iron

Cut two pieces of angle iron that will serve as the mounting brackets for your snow blade. These brackets should be slightly longer than the width of the steel sheet. Use a marker or chalk to mark where the brackets will be welded onto the sheet.

Step 3: Weld the Mounting Brackets

Use a welding machine to attach the angle iron brackets to the steel sheet. Be sure to weld them securely, as they will bear the weight and force of the snow blade during use.

Step 4: Paint or Apply Bedliner

Protect your snow blade from rust and corrosion by applying a coat of paint or spray-on bedliner. This will also give it a more finished appearance. Let it dry and cure properly before moving on to the next step.

Step 5: Attach the Snow Blade to Your Quad

Using a drill, make holes on your quad’s front frame where the snow blade will be mounted. Line up the holes with the brackets on the snow blade and secure them in place using bolts and nuts.

Step 6: Test and Adjust

Take your quad and newly built snow blade for a test drive. Make adjustments as necessary to ensure proper functionality and that the blade is scraping the snow effectively. You may need to fine-tune the angle of the blade or its height to achieve the desired results.

Building a snow blade for your quad can be a rewarding DIY project that saves you time and effort during the winter season. With just a few materials and some basic welding skills, you can create a custom snow blade that fits your needs perfectly.
