Can I Use Meyer HomePlow Snow Plow On Compact Tractor With 2" Receiver Up Front?

Question:

Do you have anything that’ll fit a compact tractor with a 2-inch receiver up front?

Hey Frank. If your tractor has a true 2" Class III front receiver and a 12-volt power source, the HomePlow # ME28FR would fit. It’s light, all-steel, and auto-angling, so it’ll clear drives easily.

Just note that Meyer rates these plows for 1/2-ton or smaller vehicles, and offroad utility vehicles. Since you have a tractor, it technically is not rated to work with it. While it will still function and be fine mechanically, you'd be on your own as far as warranty goes since it's not rated for tractor use. That being said, check that your receiver height is between 10"–13" for the best blade angle.

We do have a couple ScoopDogg branded plows specifically for small tractors, but they don't install onto a 2" receiver. Just let me know if you want to go that route and we can look at options.

Are you usually plowing packed snow or light powder?

I did this with a John Deere 1025r. I bought a cheep meters home plow and removed the hydraulic pump, using the hydraulics on my 1025r tractor. I used a 2” receiver manufactured for the 1025r. I plan to cut it down some, maybe to 66”

@Tom That's awesome that you were able to make the Meyers plow work with the factory hydraulics on the John Deere 1025r. I imagine that took a bit of fabrication, unless it all just happened to hook up the same way?
