Yes Leejohn: I was able to switch the Lift Links (on both sides) with the anti-sway links and I placed the top link into the lowest of the three available holes and NOW I can lift the blade 18 1/2" from the ground. The only problem I encountered was that the anti-sway links are very close to the rear tires when the Lift Links are in their lowest position. However, even in the lowest position they DO NOT TOUCH the inside of the tires. When I raise the hitch a bit (as when I attach an implement) there is plenty of clearance between the tire and the anti-sway links.
Only other thing I noticed is that there is very little (almost none) side to side movement of the quick hitch and the attachment because the anti-sway links are at their fullest extension. Do you think this will be a problem?
Even at 18 1/2" height I still have more adjustment of the top link if necessary to raise it even higher.
Thanks to you and other members for all your help in getting me over this issue. I am glad I do not have to return the Blade and get a lighter (smaller) one.
