My point is and has been, you can not take advantage of the extreme tilt of having the 2 side links.I know that I could not and I have a 75hp, 12,000lb tractor with 1000lb+ implements and work in what most guys on TBN would consider "dream soil".
Do you live (work your tractor) where things are quite flat? My driveways have compound curves to them and the combination of float on one tilt cylinder and positioning of the other tilt cylinder makes snow plowing much easier than it might be otherwise. Has nothing to do with HP available...or HP needed, since in this case the HP is not much but the placement of the blade is critical for good snow removal.
Your logic, if applied in the other direction would lead to the question: Why have a hydraulic tilt cylinder to begin with? A mechanically operated lift arm is all that is needed! One can do everything with the adjustable mechanical lift rod that can be done with a hydraulic cylinder, right? (Whatever works for each of us...)
However, I will keep my dual cylinders...and smile every time I make an adjustment and think of the time I saved by not having to jump off the tractor and manually make adjustments. Plus I can fine tune adjustments on the fly, another plus...
