Can't Lift

[murphy1244]

I can buy a 3578 Land Pride Box Blade but I need to pick it up some how and get it on my Truck. He has a 8n Tractor. Any Idea's? Thanks for Reading.

Snatch block on a stout limb and back truck under it?

What about a BOOM POLE / REAR CRANE? ETA has them to 2,200 pounds capacity.

Tractor Boom Pole, Rear Crane, 3 Point Hitch Mounted

Wow! Just looked it up - 1117 lbs. Only way I can think of is - snatch block up high, cable from rear of tractor thru snatch block, up goes the bb and then you drive under with truck. However, that's probably not the answer because its too easy. You need somebody with fairly large tractor & FEL.

Was going to suggest the boom, but Tractordata.com says 8N 3 pt can lift 800 pounds keep that in mind.

Thanks, I was wondering about that.

Four 4x4's for a ramp up to the truck, cable or chain or rope to snatch block on truck and thence to 8N. Jack the BB up and slide a sheet of 3/4 plywood under it, put another sheet in front up the ramp, drag and cross your fingers.

Or just use a comealong to drag it.

That's how I got my 1300lb planer in a trailer.

Nowhere do I mention getting hurt.

/edit - or use a pallet jack, plywood and comealong to drag it up a 4x4 ramp. That's how I unloaded my heavy equipment.

When I bought my 9' Bush Hog rear blade the seller took it with his tractor to the local dealer he bought it from. They loaded it for me at the dealership no charge. Seller arranged all of this with the dealer. Smooth easy sale for both of us. This was an internet sale, two states away.

 

[murphy1244]

He sold the machine that was using the implement so all he has is a 8n. The ball is in his court as this cuts down on a potential customer

I load/unload a lot of things by backing into a nice deep ditch if available. Then, as suggested drag it or push with 8n up some planks.

They built the great pyramid without an 8n.
You'll figure it out, it's just going to take a while.
Careful someone else doesn't figure it out first and get that blade before you can.
Getting it on a trailer will be a lot easier than getting it on a truck. Do you have a trailer?

I doubt Murphy has 10,000 slaves at his disposal though.

Block & tackle over a sturdy tree branch, lift blade then back up truck. Could even do it by just lifting one end high enough to get it into bed, with tailgate removed, then lift other end and back up....
pics of final solution please.

 

[murphy1244]

I picked up the Box Blade today. Man what a ride. He picked it up with his 8 n and moved it under a tree. Used a chain fall to get it in the truck. Pics tomorrow.

 

[mikehaugen]

cool, congratulations! :thumbsup:

 

[Coyote machine]

Cool. What brand/ size?

 

[Poopdeck Pappy]

Glad you got it figured out before somebody else did. Can't wait to see the pics.

Land Pride 3578 for 500.00 need to get 4 rippers, Where do I get these?

 

[Coyote machine]

Land Pride? Or try googling replacement rippers, I seem to remember someone saying there are places to get them?
Nice find- $500! Wow that's not a lot. Enjoy the new to you toy/tool.

All I can find on Land Prides site is an HRL3578, looks like a retractable rippers model- is that what you bought?

 

[BukitCase]

Here's one of the cheaper sources for rippers -

Box Blade Parts

IF you get rippers that have the "dimpled" method of retaining the teeth, I'd recommend a couple of light tack welds - A whole ripper is easier to find than just a tooth :=) Steve
