Grading Does anyone know which hydraulic lines to use with front blade on B3030 see picture

WaxMan · Nov 11, 2008

I have a B2791 front hitch for the B2765A front snow blade, I do not have installation instructions yet from the dealer.
Can anybody tell me the correct hook up of the hydraulic lines for each cylinder according to this picture?
I would say one cylinder would be hooked up to the red and blue and the other one to white and yellow is this correct? and what will happen if hooked up wrong Thanks for any infor.

I would just trace the lines to the loader and use the two that run your lift cylinders to lift the blade and use the two other lines that dump your bucket as the tilt left and right for your blade. I am not sure what would happen if you crossed the circuits as in one line for lift and one for bucket. But if you trace the lines this shouldn't be an issue. Worse thing that could happen by doing it this way would be you may get them backwards as in up will be down and left may be right on the stick. If it is just switch the lines and it will work fine.
Clear as mud? Hope this helps.

Bottom left controls DOWN on blade lift (Goes to TOP of lift cylinder)

Top left is UP for lift (goes to BOTTOM of lift cylinder)

Right side do blade angle (red and blue), i do not have the blade, so its a 50/50 crap shoot. Plug them in and simply swap them if pushing joystick left makes the blade turn right.

Edit: The positions are as you look at your picture, NOT as you are sitting on the tractor

I did hook it up as you said, works correctly.
Right now I just have the mount installed I bought a b2791 mount the dealer had for awhile that was new but outside and a little rusted. I sent it out to have it powder coated which I picked up Monday. Real nice job, clean, tough, hard finish better then factory paint that chips off.
The blade is ordered and should be in by next week.
