Good job.

Got the frame, ribs welded to the back, sides cut out and one welded on.

Are you going to use this contraption on the end of a set of loader arms or what? I like it so far... looks useful.

 

[massey184ferguson]

Yes top holes are for the hydraulic dump cylinders, bottom holes for the loader arms

I built one like that a couple of years ago. I ran a brace from each side at an angle back to the face of the blade. I also made the skids on the bottom of the sides adjustable so I could start the season out with the bit off the ground to leave some snow to pack down. Problem is my farmyard is gravel, and the grassy areas to the sides have undulations. Well, there WERE some undulations, but the bit took care of a lot of them and I ended up moving rock and sod to clean up in spring. This year I'm in the process of cutting a 3/4" slot lengthwise in a piece of 2" pipe to fit ovet the bit. Securing with steel brackets to the bit bolts. Should make the bit slide over rock and sod without digging. Did this with the loader bucket 25 years ago, and it seemed to cure the digging problem.
You might want to consider this, unless you're lucky enough to have all hard surfaces to clear.

Are you including an angle feature to cast snow to the side? Hydraulic on the angle adjustment? I am thinking on a dozer type blade, snow is not a big problem here.

Looks great. So what are ya building in the background? That looks to maybe be interesting as well..

 

[jack707]

You just gave me an IDEA this winter.

 

[massey184ferguson]

Finally got it done. Now to hook it up

 

[chopped]

Great Job..With that kind of hook on youll be able to give a little down pressure if needed..

 

[jack707]

That looks pretty good there.

And the way you designed the pin brackets on the back it would be easy to modify to fit SSQA if you ever traded tractors. Looks great!!!
