Fired Road contractor. Build it myself?

   / Fired Road contractor. Build it myself? #211  
Following this thread with much interest. You guys have it sussed. After having a chat with Egon, and a few days thought, I'm on the lookout for a broken plow/plough as I want to use the steering system as well, on my build. So it will always be centred to the headstock, even with it offset to the side- will be both heavy duty and half built already. Plus I will utilise the plough beam to mount the wheel from the headstock, not the blade's beam.
Just a thought.
(Only have a 6' blade on 8'6" wide tractor)
Surely there's some lying around.

That is a beauty!

Seem's there are many folks out there with gauge wheels and showing their setups. Lots of nice setup's that make me envious. If I' go to the other computer I could show some pictures of why. Give me a little time.

OK, some pictures.
The first is my back blade with one gauge wheel showing. It's not in a working position. The second and third show a before and after grading for boat house pad and ramp going to lake. Tractor is a Kubota B7100 HST.

(sorry about the size of the last one, I went back and reduced it)

I like the spillage wing at the tip of the blade.
ALL rear blades need those,,, I hate when that material overflows off the end of the blade.

I think you can get it out with a crowbar,,, :thumbsup:

The danged thing popped up and got stuck. Seemed to work better so I just left it there!
