6 Ft. Wide Hydraulic Controlled Blade
 ✖  |
I made a 6-ft. wide hydraulic-controlled blade out of scrap steel for my Farmall Super C, which didn't have a 3-pt. hitch. It attaches directly to the axle housings with U-bolts and a channel iron cross brace rests on top of the drawbar. I made the blade by welding 5 pieces of 1/4-in. thick flat iron strips together. It's raised and lowered by a 2-way hydraulic cylinder that's anchored on one end to a steel "tripod" above the drawbar - the other end attaches just above the blade. When the cylinder retracts, the blade pivots up 18 to 20 in. off the ground. I plumbed the hydraulics into the Super C's existing hydraulic pump by removing two plugs in the side of the pump and tapping in with two outlets, and installing a control valve that mounts up by the operator. I use the blade to move snow and dirt. It works so well I thought other FARM SHOW readers with smaller, older tractors might be able to use the idea. (Ron Fier, Rt. 1, Box 207, Delmar, Iowa 52037)
