Typically, with non-draft control 3pt hitches, the only reason to use the different pin location on the tractor side is to change how the implement is raised. Top pin hole normally lifts the implement relatively parallel to the ground. As you lower the pin location, the implement is raised in an...

Perfect picture ptsg, thank you. Why can't the OP simply use multiple adaptor fittings to accomplish the same exact thing?

A picture or 2 would probably help.

I had that same model on the trailer 20 years ago, built by Midwest Implements. Strapped to the pallet, it weighed 680lbs. Put it behind a 10,000lb machine and it bent the very first time I used it. I bought it on the recommendation of the dealer. As I had mentioned earlier, it may not be the...

I doubt that you will find a cat 1-2 rear blade that is set up for hydraulics that is light duty. I'm not saying that it has hydraulics, but the adjustment mounts are set up for them. Again, look for something at a minimum of 700lbs. Any blade that weighs 700 or more pounds will not be light or...

8' for sure. As heavy as you can afford, nothing under 700lbs, offset, skid shoes, and be sure that the blade can swivel the full 360* when mounted on the 3pt hitch. Something like this would be ideal IMO. (y)(y)

If you put water bars in and diverted the water off of the road, any chance that that would help? Although the burms make it a pain to grade. :unsure:

Added weight equals more traction in 4 wheel drive. Tires tend to not buldge as much with a heavy bucket of material with the smaller area for the air to compress into.

Roll-over box blades are great (y)(y) and I'm a hydraulics guy. My first question, do you have your tires filled? Filling the tires makes a day & night difference as far as the capabilities of your tractor. I have all 4 tires filled on both my 75 HP (81"ROBB) and 32HP machines. (65"ROBB) I...

Contact me and this can be resolved. Please look at this link so that you can have the answer for me when you contact me.

Maybe instead of removing your hydraulic top link, simply disconnect it and bungee the hose ends up out of the way. Seems like that might be easier than swapping the whole setup each time? :unsure: Obviously, you are a candidate for adding some diverter-s. :cool: ;)

Using a chain in place of a top link allows the implement to be able to rotate back onto the tractor. I'm not saying that it will, but the possibility is there.

Well, there are some OEM units that are built that way. (JD for example) They think that it is a set place to start from. Supposedly easier? :rolleyes: What they don't think of is that it is all relative to the ground that you are on top of at the time and not even thinking that some roads need...

Just my opinion, but typically it is best to have tilt to both sides equally. That is how I build all of mine, except the Kubota BX series. There are many situations where having the ability to tilt to both sides can be a big benefit for the operator.

Exactly, no good reason to have to compromise. (y)
