Rear Blade Adding Tilt

xr_guys · Nov 1, 2012

Hello Guys,

I need some input how I can customized my three point back blade to have adjustable tilt (manual). Can you guys share some pictures of what you have done. My blade is the Land Pride version for my Kubota BX2660.

Thanks,
Romulo

Does the top link not give you what you're looking for?

Sounds like he wants to made a road grader with a hydraulic two axis tilt.

Most of the time I'll see people run a hydraulic link on the side of the 3-point that's adjustable instead of the screw adjuster. That should give you enough angle for most jobs. More angle than that and typically you're going to end up digging in too hard on that side and bending, breaking, or otherwise causing issues.

You cant get enough adjustment on the sidelink? If not post some pictures of the blade, especially the back and so we can give some ideas.

I would cut the upright pipe out of the back and do a similar setup like the woods rb blades have.

The other option would be find a good deal on a blade with tilt on craigslist.

How much tilt do you need?
Do you have a picture of your 3 point mechanism?
Can you not tweek that, is there an adjustable link you can
turn way up and add tilt?

Here's another dumb question related to this. Using a scraper blade or box scraper which is pulling a loaded implement. Would the draft control keep it at a certain height. I'm thinking it won't because of irregular load on the rear draft spring sensor when the blades unload in low areas while leveling. This is where road graders have the advantage. The blade adjust height as the machine moves down the road, or the operator is watching a inclinometer and making corrections as he/she goes.
