Hydraulic Cylinder?

[450]

What size hydraulic cylinder would I need for adding hydraulic angling to my rear blade? My rear blade is 7 and medium duty(I would say, Titan 4407). My tractor is a Branson 3725CH. Not sure what psi, bore or rod diameter I would need. Thanks for any help.

Find a cylinder rated for the relief pressure of the tractor. Pretty much anything should work since it isn’t that high. Too big of a cylinder won’t hurt anything but a too small one will get bent when you hang the blade. I’d probably look for something between 2”-3” bore.

Use a 3" diameter cylinder with a 1 1/2" dia rod. A 12" stroke at the minimum, longer if you have room. Using a longer stroke will get you better control of the angling of the blade. I recommend that you use a welded cylinder in place of a tie rod cylinder that many manufacturers often use on their implements.

I picture or two of the rear blade would help in making recommendations for the mounts.

Woods makes rear blades with cylinders making them effectively "all way" hydrophliclly adjustable. May want to see how and what they did that with. A few other company's make them as well.

I want to do the same thing with an offset rake eventually. I want to be able to offset and angle the rake hydraulically. Just seems like if you have rear remotes then why not make life a little easier.

Guessing that a 12" stroke cylinder is all that will fit. Have to lay things out to confirm.

I would fabricate a bracket that pinned over and under the 6 pin holes on the table for the rod end of the cylinder to pin too. This allows you to unpin the bracket, and turn the blade 180* for back blading or smoothing purposes.

Depending on the boom wall thickness, (anything under 3/8") make a base plate and weld the mount to the base plate and then weld the base plate to the boom.


Good luck. :thumbsup:
