Rear Blade Adding hydraulic angle to rear blade

[BIG DOOLEY]

Nice job, Tom! Looks like an OEM product, which is supposed to be a compliment.. the cycle time is fairly quick, but not too fast either. Nice balance between speed and precision. You used a 3" cylinder, right? I think your hydraulic flow must be somewhere close to my Kubota, the cylinder movement speed is about the same or slightly quicker.

Thanks Sean.
Yes 3" cylinder and the stroke is 12".
The rpm's were about 2000 in the video. Cranked up to 3000 the blade moves slightly quicker.
Not having to get off the tractor to adjust is very nice.
Have a great weekend

I used a 3 x 10 cylinder on mine and I get a bit less angle than you did, if you need snow to try it out I can let you have some free of charge! Mine'll get some use tomorrow when it warms up and the wind goes down.

Thanks.
The grass blades are still showing thru the snow.
Any unwanted snow woud be great.
Have a great weekend guys.

Real nice, I'm eyeballing ideas for a similar build with a landscape rake. I really like how you are able to keep the ability to turn the bade around and also use it manually if needed.

Outstanding!

It works very nice and was a fun little project.
