The area that I have to use my blower in has a lot of dips and bumps, hills and valleys.
What I've been thinking is that it would be nice if the blower could automatically pivot to keep it even with the ground rather than level with the tractor to better deal with the uneven ground.
I don't think a hydraulic top link would help much because you would not be able to see the angle of the ground compared to the bottom of the blower through the snow, not to mention that it would need continuous adjustment even if you could tell where it needed to be adjusted to.
So what I was thinking was to allow the blower somehow do this automatically.
I have read some threads about using other types of implements that needed to do this where people have replace the top link with a chain. I'm not sure I like the idea of a chain as it could allow the blower to pivot too far.
Another idea would be to use something like the this bracket between the top link and the blower. Probably not exactly this, just an example I found for a visual. This would be more ridged and allow the blower to pivot but there would be a limit to how far it could pivot.
Has anyone ever tried this with a snow blower?
Does anyone see any issues with doing something like this?
