Kubota BX1500 Hydraulic Angle

blackmajicwoman · Nov 4, 2004

I recently purchased and installed the quick hitch and TG2754 plow to my BX1500. Much to my dismay, the manual angle control requires me to get off the tractor seat to change the angle. I use the plow strickly for snow. Does anyone have any ideas on mounting a ram to control the angle. Much appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same problem.

You will need an extra hydraulic outlet, an 8" hydraulic ram, a couple pieces of 4 X 8 X 1/4" metal and a welder.

I tack everything together to get the correct geometry and then weld everything together.

I have not had much run time to determine durability, but so far it seems to work well.

I can post a picture if desired.

Thanks for replying. Yes, please post a pic. I already ordered all of the parts I need, which include a 2"x8" cyclinder and all of the connectors and hoses to hook up to my existing FEL valve (of which only two of the four ports are being used by the up/down cylinder for the plow). I am an OK weldor an hopefully will make it all work. Thanks.
