simple john...I made the blade for grading...I have a front blade for moving material, but the rear blade distributes it a bit more precisely...when I get it close, I use a drag.
lucky charms...I only put the deck on to mow... I usually run the tractor naked. mid weight is nice, but between the AGs and weights, I'd rather have the ground clearance and unobstructed foot placement than be married to a bulky deck.
bontai joe...did not get ousted...I just wasn't getting my soul fed, so I haven't been dabbling on the GW web much lately...I surfed in today and the question was "tractor purchase denotes income...how much do you make a year"...reminded me of Joe Banks and Tony Bertini in the HS gym locker room (1969-ish) comparing penis dimension...winner take all...substance maybe, but no depth...
I thought you pretty much owned the place over there...you always had solid answers presented with class...and they threw you out the friggin' door?...well look what they got now...hitch polishers and pretenders...the hip moved on...
simple john...not mounted yet...I'm occupied with chores...I'll git it on line eventually...I'm working on hydrolics I thonl...possibly electric or pneumatic thoughts as well...but I'm heavily leaning towards a mid mount for a 4-5 foot lift and an add on pump ect... we'll see. it's painted yellow awaiting further attention...but no pictures yet....
admin...thank you for the respect. I'm not totally aginst making a few bucks on the side...but I'm not anxious for the responsibility...I'll keep it in mind...we'll see.
Cat Daddy...it's a manual:
<img src=http://img35.photobucket.com/albums/v107/modre/rear_hitch_lift_lever.jpg>
the arm thru the lift shaft grabs the hitch itself mid way so the mechanical advantage is surprisingly adequate for 100+ lbs. I also have a couple helper springs on for lift...one day it may get eoither an electric actuator like Capt. Nunez' or if I do a hydraulic system for the FEL I may go that way on the rear hitch as well..
I'm in SW Pa, and this is the hit it season between freeze and too damn hot to breathe...so I've been busy doing chores...when I get rained out or too hot, I'll take time for a proper disertation on everything under the sun...like it or not...
