Here's yet another home built blade. I fabricated this last year because I didn't care to remove my FEL to use JD's 54" and never thought much of driving backwards for an extended period of time using a 3 point blade.
I know there is concern about attaching a blade to the FEL arms on a CUT but it seems to be working out, even better than expected.
I decided this year to install an additional valve to control the roll back angle as well.
Glad I had already hooked up my own version of JD's power beyond, in anticipation of completing my home built backhoe.
I have replaced the home made front shoes with a set for a Western plow however the ones on the rear remain, that way it forms it's own stand. My only possible regret thus far is making a 5FT blade instead of 6 or 7FT.
Oh well, the good news is it gives me a little more time in the seat.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
