Grading New idea for plow blade - what do you think?

[purpony]

thanks all.

I am really not sure the lifting capacity of the bucket. Its somewhere between 900-1100lb. I would need to check the manual or search around this site.

I was going to say the front bucket quick release is an option but after second guessing myself i checked the JD site and it shows both FEL for that machine have the quick release bucket(anyone can correct me if im wrong), however i opted for the 200CX FEL since the frame is also quick release. The 200X FEL is none removable. I believe list price the CX loader is $500 more then the X.

here is a video of how fast i can change between bucket and blade. Once i add the hydraulic tilt it may take another min to hook up.

Like the man said .... "that is slicker than snot". I have always been used to larger equipment (Big CAT and JD end loaders that had quick release buckets on them). I really don't understand (other than corporate cheap a-- tight wads who care more about sales and expense savings than functionality) why more manufacturers offer these things. Your video will be a real eye opener for anyone who has never used one before.

Keep building more things to hook up on it!

BTW I tried looking through the JD web site for the capacities, but the longer I looked, the more of a headache I got. They may build nice tractors and I always thought as myself as both fairly intelligent and computer savvy, but after wandering around their website for a while, all I wanted to do was scream!

i agree, the JD site is horrible and their operators manual is not much better. I just looked through both my manuals on the tractor and FEL and i could not find lift capacity anywhere.

- What is the FEL lift capacity on your 2320? (ish)

The published lift capacity of the 200CX FEL on a 2320 is 899 lbs at the pivot pin to max height and 1129 lbs at the pivot pin to 59"

Great idea, these things are getting like Swiss Army knives, I got some good ideas looking at your work , maybe this will do some thing for you.
I almost finished this today, tried it a little and seems to work great, but after I finished it I started thinking I wonder if anyone makes an adaptor plate to go from I-match to JD front quick tach, I probably could have made one with a little more time and material, would have to start with some kind of box frame like yours, that way I could put any front accessory on the back, yours is the opposite now you can put any rear implement on the front.
I like things that have multipe uses.

thanks for posting, I saw your post about that the other day and made me start thinking, if i welded some brackets on the back of my frame i could put the frame on my 3point and use my forks on the rear as well!
