Jan 2025 Update
Big news! I was on the waiting list with 500 other exhibitors to be at the National Farm Machinery Show and was one of 30 to get accepted! The show is huge with 800 exhibitors and 300,000 attendees over the 4 days.
Production on the first units will begin next week.

As I have only built a prototype, I can't speak to the cost difference between a standard, manual adjust blade and the TiltPlow. Of course the TiltPlow will be more expensive but shouldn't add too much. The real savings is not having to plumb hydraulics to the front of the tractor.
I guess I...
Hi Fallon,
It does have vertical float in two ways. First, the loader is operated in float mode, so that lets the TiltPlow move up and down relative to the tractor. The second way it floats is in the fact that it is its own carriage and it connected to the loader by a single pivot point. The...
I have updated my TiltPlow design and would like to hear your thoughts on it. The TiltPlow allows the operator to change the blade angle, without the expense of plow hydraulics.
Hydraulic control of the blade angle is a luxury, but if you want to save some money, the TiltPlow is ideal.
The...
Hello,
I have a patent pending design for changing the angle of a snow blade by tilting the FEL. You can see it here: TiltPlow – chalmersinnovations.com
I am looking for feedback as I look to market the design.
This design lets you sit on the tractor and utilize the tilt function of your...
I'm having trouble with the bucket curl on my DK40 / KL1470 and am nearly certain the issue is with the Prince Hydraulics valve.
History: I was using the FEL to move some large rocks and the bucket up curl stopped working.
Details:
1) I also have noticed that slowly moving the curl...
I believe I have solved the problem. I popped the suspect plug out of the body of the valve and found it held a spring and a small tapered head thingy. The good news is that the plug has an o-ring, and that o-ring was indeed damaged for both valves.
The whole assembly is just held by the...
I bought a used DK40 a year ago and shortly thereafter installed the hydraulic blocks for remote hydraulics. It is a factory part and everything installed perfectly.
Unfortunately that top of that block is now leaking. The block I installed is a pair of valves with rigid lines to the back of...
Hello,
Any idea what this electrical connector goes to? It is near the 3 point hitch on my DK40.
I just bought the 10 year old tractor used a month or so ago. Only had 336 hours on it!
