Rear Blade Blade not high enough

[Gordon Gould]

I was thinking the same thing. :thumbsup:

Come on guys - I would not purposefully lie to you.
With the geometery of my hitch as I move the side links closer to the tractor I get increased motion in both directions, up and down. I do gain more on the down than the up but the height does increase. I just tryed it to make sure.

Well i got it working. What a dealer! Just need cylinder number 3 now. It only came with 2 but i now have 3 remotes so i might as well be able to use em.

After all of these posts and you don't even tell us what the fix was!!!!

C'mon, come clean and clue us in.:thumbsup:

Well, i put the bushings in the dealer left out. Lowered the center link down to the bottom hole on the tractor and that did the trick. She's ready for some bladin!!

Wouldn't this also reduce lift capacity? It would either raise it or lower it.

MtnViewRanch: That is a serious backblade!!! very nice setup. i was wondering about the hydraulics on there.. i know right now.. when i tilt my blade for say ditching.. its tough to cut through the ground.. just seems like an amazing amount of force pushing back against the hydrauilics. what would it take to blow out either the cylinder or maybe a line.. something like that.. on there? has it ever happend?

I have an 8' landpride that is fully hydraulic(tilt, angle, offset and tail wheel) and the answer to your concern are "cushion" valves

Never happened to me. I doubt that it would, I'm relatively sure that the tractor would stop moving before anything on the blade let go. My blade is designed for a 15,000lb machine and mine only weighs 12k. I think that I'm safe.

Gordon, any chance of a picture or two. How I'm understanding your configuration is that the bottom of your side links actually would be pointing towards your tractor instead of away from it. So when you have your side links set to the outer most hole they are vertical and the bottom does not slope away from the tractor? Is there a chance that your lower lift arms are on backwards? The holes that you connect to your implements should be attached at the tractor and the ones at the tractor should be the ones that are connected to the implement. I think that if your arms were to be turned around your tractor would be like the rest of ours are. To quote my wife, "Dude! They put your tractor together wrong!" Notice in the pics that the side links slope away from the tractor at the bottom.

Yes, but not a worry for a rear blade unless it weighs an awful lot.

Boy you dont give people or Kubota much credit. Surely you realize all tractors are not the same I will take some pictures today.
