Rear Blade kick stand suggestions

[scottrh]

I have a new KK RB-84-QAT blade [1] and want to put a kick stand on this. Any suggestions on ease of use and simplicity? I can weld, etc. S.

Maybe a swivel trailer jack from Harbor Freight. $10 when they are on sale. :thumbsup:

My Leon rear blade just has one that swings down and pins up or down. Even better might be a cheap trailer jack welded on using the weld on mounting ring.

It would seem a block of wood or two screwed together would fit nicely under the 3pt hitch frame. If you park it in the same place all the time, that would seem easy.

That's what I use, and it's a PITA. I'm in the process of changing it out, I like the idea of the trailer jack, especially the pivoting one.

thanks. I think some wood and blocks are out. Boat trailer jack would work and cheap. My old Frontier blade had a cool round leg that had two holes and slide up and down with a pin through it. that was simple, small and easy too. S.

I had same issue. Made a stand out of a piece of square stock with a flat foot welded to the bottom. Slides up and down through a slightly bigger sleeve I made from a piece of square stock welded to the neck of the blade. Drilled holes through the sleeve and two positions on the leg so it can be pinned both up and down. Simple, clean, and effective.

Well if I was using wood, I would make something that would stay put on the attachment, like by cutting a U (or nailing together a couple blocks to make a U) spaced to go around an arm or something.

I could also see a small pin-on trailer jack working well. Weld the collar onto the attachment and pull the pin and jack when using, and pin it back on when storing. nspec's idea seems pretty simple too.
