What do you get when you cross a grader, a Farmall, and a PO Jeep?

OUTSTANDING...........

I like it when people "think outside of the box"............ so to speak.

I've seen jeep parts used in lots of ways, but that is a first. You have to wonder if the guy had the tractor and jeep setting side-by-side and came up with the idea.

Thanks for posting.

I wish I could find a mid-mount grader attachment for my JD 2520.

Mid Mount seems like it would work sooooo much better than a rear blade.

Thanks for posting. BTW, the link that you posted has been flagged for removal by Craigslist. I couldn't gain access.

Well, I guess if the rollover doesn't kill you the carbon monoxide probably will.

That is cool. The mid mount blades do work the best. I guess the cab is pretty spacious.

Road graders benefit from have a very large spacing between the axles to damper unevenness soils/gravel. It is similar to the difference in ride between an extended cab pickup and a jeep wrangler. That tractor wheelbase will prove pretty difficult to get fine grading results. Looks cool though!

You're right. A tractor will never be as smooth as a long road grader, but it will still be smother than anything mounted on the front or back.

Front or rear implements dig in or rise up when your tractor goes up or down and angle. Mid mounted blades always take the average of the front and back axles, so it tends to even things out more. Also, I'm thinking that you'd be able to maintain better down-force with a blade mounted in the middle.

Of course you could also look (or make) at the drawbar/hitch pulled graders with a long spine and two rear wheels with the blade positioned midway back with both angle and depth adjustments...















This one is the only one i have saved on my Tablet, but I have seen bunches of others.
My only problem with them is lack of requisite $$$$$$ to buy one...
