Hi guy’s
I was hoping some one knows how the hydraulics on the Mine plow of a BMP look.
I have DML’s BMP-2 but it doesn’t say hoe it should go.
Can some one help me??

TIA

Sorry man,
I've wondered the same thing, but haven't ever found any inages of the plow/rake even mounted on a -2 much less detail pics of the hydraulics.

I've almost got myself convinced that with the help of a friend who runs plows (snow) and has a large 'hobby'tractor' with attachments we can figure out how it ought to work and fudge it a bit.

(does the slang phrase 'fudge it' translate well? I'd hate to be insulting someone.. here it is used to mean "to fake it or make it up")

I have a book that has some excellent shots of a -2 with the plow attached. Let me look thru it today at work and see what I can come up with. "Q"

I guess I spoke too soon. I could have sworn that my book had a good 6 or so pictures of a -2E clearly showing the plow attachment and lines. However when I went back thru it, I came up empty handed. I will continue to search though. Sorry for the confusion. "Q"
