Questions about hyd angle front plow

   / Questions about hyd angle front plow #21  
I have a B3030 quick hitch but the BX quick hitch is similar.

Yes, the Kubota Quick Hitch is a small subframe that hooks to the front of the tractor frame and is pinned up underneath the tractor. It is somewhat heavy but it does not take more than 5 or 10 minutes to put onto or take off the tractor. It has 2 hydraulic hoses on it which go to one lift cylinder which is used to raise and lower any quick hitch connected device (blower, blade or broom). I have the front blade and it worked very well last winter for me.

FYI,
Norm

I have both the Kubota blade and the thrower for my BX23 as I do a relatively small amount of snow removal commercially as well as for myself. Both work very well with the blade more suitable, IMO, for rough service due to the KISS principle. Slush is the nemisis of the thrower although I've found if you slow down and apply full throttle things usually are Ok. The blade works fine regardless of snow conditions but has the usual "blade problem" of after awhile you can run out of places to stack snow. The blade is built very well.

Heads-up: When I received my blade, I had to assemble the critter. Make sure you have some hydraulic hose thread sealer such as Loctite #545 if your dealer doesn't assemble it for you. Also...after you connect the blade's hydraulic cylinder and use it for a bit make sure you're tractor's hyd fluid level is Ok.

Have fun. The blade is pretty cool.

Is it Hydraulic or manual angle?
I got a price of $1400 for a new Manual angle blade.
Do you have any idea what a new Hydraulic angle blade cost?
I'm also checking into a used Hydraulic angle blade.

Mine has hydraulic angle adjustment.
I don't know what a new hyd blade costs. I purchased mine 18-24 months ago and it was $1100. That was typical at that point in time from what I gathered (I was seeing that same sorta price on eBay, etc.) I already had the subframe for my thrower....so that is not included in the above price.

The used front blade for a bx1500
that is coming in would require a valve switch which will make the cost a
bit higher and likely unfeasible.:confused:

Does anybody know what this guy's talking about here.
