Nice, I'm watching from Texas.

I think this will be great to watch.

Welding the 3pt hooks...

Wow, very impressive so far, you certainly have a high skill level!

Even your pencil drawings are impressive.

I wish front 3 point hitches were more popular over here.

Well...over here it makes no sense to have a 80+ HP tractor without a front loader or front linkage. It makes your tractor alot more profitable and usefull

Do you have a side business with your tractor?

I can always make some money clearing snow or digging something for someone. If you want to work you will always find something to do

Impressive, I like the idea of the "split" trip blade.:thumbsup:
Will have the weight you need also, for grading etc., I figure 800 lbs or so.

Well split trip seemd logical because most hard obstacles under the snow are small so there's no need to trip the whole blade at once. Also it spreads the forces on the frame evenly (prevents bending). With these springs I will get trip weight of about 400 kg/meter. That should be enough to clear the ice but activate trip on solid objects

Another well executed project. Looking forward to seeing it finished.
