I want to upgrade my 5' rear scraper to a 7' hydraulic blade. So far, I only see the hydraulic option on the LandPride RBT3584. It's very nice, but I'm hoping to find other (cheaper) options. Everything else I've seen has only manual adjustment and I really want a hydraulic cylinder to change the angle.
My tractor is a Kubota GL 4240 which I plan to use for snow removal this winter.

Thanks for any ideas of where to look,
Tom

Woods is another option, though it won't be any cheaper. I don't think "low cost" and "hydraulic" can both describe the same rear blade.

Here's one for sale in my area. Wish it was mine. Have no idea if price is good

IF there is a manually adjustable with a ratchet, just replace the ratchet with a cylinder? If you are comfortable welding, you could add eyelets for the cylinder as well.

What I think you are thinking about is the more economical off set models, and even then the way that those are set up, you only have offset to one side or change the hydraulic or ratchet to the other side.

I have never seen a ratchet system for angling the blade left-right. :confused:

I thought i was looking at some woods? or bushhog? blades that you could order with any of the adjustments as ratchets up to all 3? then you could add cylinders or switch them as conditions warranted? Maybe i'm hallucinating to?

Edit: It was landpride. RBT40 Series Rear Blades | Land Pride They have two adjustments that could be swapped from manual to hydraulic.

I was under the impression that the OP wanted hydraulic angle, I referenced the most economical hydraulic angling blade that I know of. If he wanted to go all hydraulic in the future, then the RBT3584 would be the blade for him. And all 3 functions, angle, offset and tilt can be hydraulic or manualy actuated on all of the RBT series blades 35-60 series.

He wanted hydraulics cheaply. Hydraulics do not equal cheap. But doing the upgrades in steps makes the pain easier sometimes. I was more or less getting at possibly buying a non-hydraulic blade and adding eyelets for the cylinders or buying a ratchet adjustable blade and swapping out the ratchets for cylinders when needed could be an option.
