County Line Grader Blade HYDRAULIC CONVERSION (Part 3)

[@td2297]

Great setup, well done, the only thing I could see you may have been able too do is weld another lug on the other side off the turn table, would that have enabled you to leave the cylinder permanently on the one side and just unpin the back pin and swing around.

Love this. I really needed to see. Now I know what to get. 8" travel cylinder and 1/2" hose. Both of these things I wasn't sure. Thanks, really useful videos.

Up here in Northern Nevada... sage brush as well!! Great Video!!

That turned out pretty damn good! As soon as i get the rear remotes on my tractor, i`ll be doing this same mod to my CW 6ft rear blade. THANK YOU for sharing this video!!!

If u make a video please share it with me

Great job, and set of videos. I have a Frontier 60" I've been threatening to hyd angle as well. I would note a word of caution in general about pushing from the rear three point, more so for viewers than yourself, as you seem pretty sensible. As you're likely aware the geometry of three point linkages are designed primary for pulling forces - there are many cases of bent lower arms, and even collapsing the toplink mount (gearbox housing) when hitting an object. It's all about sensibility - not too fast travel if there could be things to catch the blade on, not ramming, etc. For what it's worth I have great success pulling forward for snow removal with the blade angled. Not ideal of course as you're travelling over the snow first, but at least on a paved drive it's (usually) easy to end up down to the surface with another pass.

[@anesthesiadreamin]

Yes! Thank you for the good explanation and rationale for safe operation. I usually plow snow forward as well with the straight blade, seems to work well. If u watch my other videos you will know I broke a countyline subsoiler when I hit a patch of subsoil ice.

Just weld a gusset on were you're scared the weld won't hold . Turned out sweet man

[@adamd4218]

I really want to do this to my back blade. I have a 5 foot frontier blade that is used for snow removal. I really think I should get at least a 6 foot blade if I'm going to put the time and money into this modification though.

[@anesthesiadreamin]

Yep, mine is 6 ft wide, so is my tractor. I wish i had the 7 ft blade!

[@adamd4218]

@@anesthesiadreamin I just have a little guy. 1025r. But I've heard others using up to a 7ft for snow. I'd be happy with 6 to be honest. I actually bought the hydraulic rear remotes for my tractor after seeing your Part 3 video a couple weeks back.

You should put a stop on the blade itself because if you grab something with the blade it could pull the packing out of the cylinder if it's bottomed out

Nice video

[@tp8030]

Only other issues is it's going to be light. May need to add weight

Gussett It and put a 7018 hot pass on it
