Yes build or buy a ssqa to 3 pt adapter. I built one and use it for all types of stuff.

Exactly! So just a SSQA blank, some tabs with holes, and some pins (if I want to keep it simple)?

Not a back blade, but a box blade, pictures to give you design ideas for an adapter.

I bought a SSQA to 3 point adapter with extra rollback angle built in.

Years ago when I bought my tractor I bought a Land Pride 6 foot rear blade for clearing snow. But I quickly got tired of craning my neck looking back. So I cut the head off the attachment and welded a "socket" onto a cross member that attached to my loader arms as you can see in the picture. On the 3 point section I welded another socket for when I really wanted to use it as a back blade.

The biggest problem with that set-up is no trip springs or anyway to give if (when) you hit a solid object.

There aren’t any on the bucket either. How fast do you think he’ll be going?
