Rear Blade A hydraulic angling rear blade??

[ledebuhr1]

Is there a company that makes a rear 3-pt blade that is hydraulic angling?? The only ones I can find are for larger tractors. I am looking at getting a Kubota L3430, which is 35hp. I would need a 6ft Cat 1 blade(i think).

Is there any engineering reason that rear blades with hydraulic angling cant be made for smaller trators??

Wouldent they be just like the bigger ones, just scaled down?

I have a Land Pride RB3572 on my 2910 that has hydraulic offset. Here is a link to a thread that has a picture of mine and Boondox’s rear blade. Click Here

I have to go thru this little dance with my
(non-offsetable) backblade: When I change the angle that throws the snow off to the side, the blade doesn't sit flat on the pavement afterward so the tilt link needs to be adjusted as well. This apparently is because the pivot axis is not exactly vertical and its pretty sensitive because when I put on the implement, I try to visually level it. I haven't tried a level yet.

Anyway, with your hydraulically offsetable arrangement, if you were unable to get the offset pivot axis exactly vertical for one reason or another, it seems that the blade wouldn't sit flat after changing the offset. Ronjhall has a hydraulic tilt to deal with it (he filled out his profile...) It would be unfortunate to have the hydraulic offset but still have to get down off the tractor to flatten the blade.

Thanks for your help. That land pride looks like what i want.
So it can adjust tilt and angle? how much Hp do you need to pull it??
Oh, and how much does it cost?

I always thought the Midwest Equipment Series 40 Heavy Duty Rear Blade with the optional Hydraulic Angle always looked nice, but I don't have any first-hand information about this item. Some folks on this forum have espoused the good quality and value of Midwest Equiment items in the past.

I also have a Landpride RB3572, I pull it with a 36 hp tractor. You can adjust the tilt, the offset, and the angle. A new one should run some where around $900.

Thanks for your help, How easy, or hard, is it to adjust the angle or offset while your driving the tractor?? or is this something your do while not moving??

Check out Tufline for that blade--I think the 6 ft rated at 45 HP will work fine--Ken Sweet

I have been happy with bison.

This bison is to heavy for your tractor. It comes ready to go for hydraulic cylinders, just remove the pins and add the cylinders and plumbing.

I am not sure what they offer in the shorter lengths.
