I sat on pins and needles all day waiting the for TRACTOR police to come and take me away for leading you astray. The BEAST looks good. What I have found when plowing snow is the angle of the blade to the forward travel of the tractor. When you get the blade loaded the back of the tractor likes to move slightly sideways, a slight reduction in angle will straighten out the tractor. This brings in the next rule which was stated many times DO NOT change the angle under MAX tip load. You now have the power to bend your rear tube. If you leave your cylinder locked under max load you have it triangled in and that is the strongest that you can make it. Think about adding a stiff support to the other side, running from the left lower pin bracket to the head pin at the back. We all make that mistake when going along and we are having too much fun and we jam the lever forward under max load. If you look at the old beast of the blade I am using the people before me bent it and added 1/2 "x 2" flat bar because the Factory supports were bending. I think it was used on a much larger tractor because it had a tough live before me.
Slow moving ( SIREN ) the TRACTOR police just went by my house.
Don't breaker the new toy because the warranty just expired.

The top of my blade had a few "waves" in it when I got it, the previous owner had welded the cylinder pivot to the blade itself, not the collar. I added a brace to the collar and no problems with bending it since.
