Grading FEL straight blade?

[5030]

soarkrebel:

I had a tractor a few years ago, an IH diesel 2wd utility tractor that would do about 26 mph in high gear. That is really cookin' with no suspension on a dirt road.

Most folks here don't need to travel any distances with their tractors. I do. As I stated above, my hayfields aren't contiguous with each other so I must travel on roads between them. Maximum travel speed is a consideration for me.

I probably run the 5030, 20 miles on roads each season. That's why I got R4's instead of R1's. The R4's ride a little smoother and wear far better on pavement than true bar tread tires.

Pushing snow with a straight blade can be frustrating. The snow just spills out to the sides.
How about a snow pusher? I see them being used at malls to move snow. I saw a model built specifically for compact tractors. I think it was an RSC Sno-Pro.

/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Is correct! i think i can do without that at that price.
I think i could build one but i just have to many other projects going or that i want to do. i could use a rock rake or spring toothed harrow before a fel straight blade but i could sure find some use for one.

5030 i think my L3000dt only goes about 12 mph in high 4th gear. i think thats what the book said. my grandpas old ford 3600 would move pretty good but your right no suspension on a bumpy road is rough. i remember we were taught to stand up and let our legs act as shocks . i don't really do that to much anymore . kind of dangerous.
