BX2230 with 60\" hydraulic angle rear blade

I just finished adding a 2"X8" cylinder to the Woods rear blade.

A close up picture showing the mounts including a second mount to use with the blade reversed.

Re: BX2230 with 60\" hydraulic angle rear blade

Here is a picture with the blade reversed. I installed the blade cylinder mount on the centerline of the blade pivot which allows for a 30 degree pivot in each direction with 4" of the cylinders 8" stroke. I may install brackets on the York rake and use the same cylinder to angle it.

Re: BX2230 with 60\" hydraulic angle rear blade

Great job on that. And yes, duplicate the mountings for your rake!

Does the 2230 come with a remote hydraulic, or did you add it? I want to dig out the mod that ?? did to add one to my 2200 using non-Kubota stuff.

Ron, I added a Kubota two spool valve for the rear remotes about $500 I bought all the hose's and fittings locally. Junkman helped me with information on the installation. The valve is plumbed into backhoe hoses from a BX22/23 that I installed awhile ago. I still need to get a hyd top link when CCM gets them in.

Very nice mod!

It really is an improvement over just being lazy because you can adjust the blade to whatever angle you want rather than being limited to the 2 or 3 angles drilled in the blade mount.
