Tractor Blade Works Front Or Rear
 ✖  |
A tractor blade that works on either the front or rear of the tractor has been developed by retired Michigan farmer Herman Kloha, of Midland. A specially-designed holder that mounts on the front of the tractor allows front use of the blade's 3 pt. hookup system, as well as rear use.
"Most tractor blades are rear-mount," says Kloha, "and sometimes that's OK. But, once you've used the blade up front, you'll discover how much easier it is to operate. It's kind of like a bulldozer."
His blade is 6 ft. wide, but the idea would work with an 8 ft. blade, he says. It will lift to 12 in. above the ground, and will angle enough to plow snow or dirt handily. The blade can be switched from back to front in 15-20 minutes.
Kloha is looking for a manufacturer, and says the blade and front-mount device could be mass produced to sell for $300 to $350. He would be willing to make a few himself to sell.
