I kept hearing you stating that you are going to sharpen the blades and mount them prior to torquing everything down. I’m not sure if you are aware but, I am only going to respectfully share some advice when it comes to sharpening your blades before installing them. If you like, you obviously have the inherent right to ignore it or modify as you see fit. Before sharpening any mower blades one should thoroughly clean them in their entirety. I’ve found that a pressure washer works wonders for this. Just ensure you have a protective surface beneath the blade before using high pressure water, it will prevent you from being coated in mud and debris in the event you receive back spray. If this is not possible, one can purchase a 6” or 8” bench grinder and replace one of the stones with a wire wheel of the same diameter and clean the blade with that. Once thoroughly cleaned and dry it is a good idea to check them for trueness. If they are bent it would make no sense in going any further with that specific blade. Replace. Once one has ensured the blade is clean and straight, now it can be properly sharpened. Try to maintain the factory angle (most are a 30 degree angle) when sharpening. It is also a good idea to try to remember approximately how much pressure is maintained during the process as well as how many passes it took to obtain the sharpness you are looking for. Try to the best of your ability to repeat this exact process on the opposing side of the same blade. This will make it much easier and more efficient to balance the blades once you have obtained the edge you aimed for. If you don’t have a blade balance, you can take the blade of a screwdriver or something similar and place it in a vice or some other method of securing it, making sure it is as level as possible. Measure the length of the mower blade and split that number in half, take that measurement and make a small mark in the center of the blade at that point. Ensure to mark it perpendicular to the secured balancing object. Place the blade on the secured object perpendicular to it and ensure it sits directly on the mark that’s made in the center of the blade. The side that dips is the heavy side, continue to sharpen the heavy side or take a very small drill bit and continue to drill a hole at the outside edge of the heavy side until balanced. It will in-fact balance out with patience. The purchase for a blade balancer can be anywhere from an economical to a professional style on Amazon or elsewhere. As well the same can be said for the purchase of an economical blade sharpening device to a professional quality one. The items I have attached are only for your awareness and should not be taken as something you should purchase. If you are interested you should take the time to research each of the items attached as there are different manufacturers for each product. They range from economical to professional. In the event you end up deciding to purchase one of the styles attached, the one you choose should be based upon your own research and decision. The balancer that is marked as the BEST option (MAG-1000 Professional Blade Balancing Instrument) is the one I currently own. It has a shiny steel rod that has a bend in it, this rod is what is utilized to check each blade for trueness. It will make it easier for you to identify a bent blade, by how much of a bend, as well as where the bend is. Any balancer with this rod lets one know that they can check for bent blades. I hope this helps you out, and anyone else who reads this thread in choosing a device if you either, were not aware of them or already have them.

Great option. I notice in your other video where you are loading and unloading the dump trailer behind the BX25D (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGq4hquNfa2ihtE), that as the trailer is dumping and reaches a 'tipping' point where tongue weight goes negative then the hitch moves upward a bit. With just a nut on the very top of the threaded rod, and on the very bottom of the rod, the only force being controlled is the downward tongue weight. Once the tongue weight goes negative as the dump trailer pulls up on the ball, then there is flex introduced to the hitch connection under the tractor. A suggestion would be to use two additional nuts on the threaded rod... one below the backhoe plate (tightened against the plate) and one on top of the receiver hitch. This will lock the receiver in place so you have stability in both the loaded and unloaded tongue scenarios. It seems this will prevent flex and potential failure under the tractor at the hitch plate connection. Just a thought. I intend to adopt your system, with the additional nuts I've mentioned. Thank you!
@KillingItCountry2 ай бұрын
You’re absolutely right in that the added nuts will add stability. My dump trailer has a removable tongue which doesn’t help. A lot of the movement you’re describing comes from this feature. Thanks so much for the excellent comment!! Best of luck with your design and happy tractoring!!!
