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.
On Land Pride RBT series blades, parts are line items. The up grade from manual to hydraulic is minimal. I am pretty sure that he said hydraulic angle "I really want a hydraulic cylinder to change the angle. " Which is why I recommended what I recommended.
As far as getting a std manually adjusted blade and making it hydraulic, can be done, that's for sure, many people have. Really only cost effective if the fabrication can be done at zero labor cost though.
The RBT series blades are great, I have one. Several options for the OP to choose from.
