Stuff to drag around behind my little tractor

[dusty-t]

My problem is that I really like to fix things and ya even when you are buying some thing that is beat up you want to look for quality junk. Trying to straighten and weld up something that was made too light in the first place is no fun. By the time you get it right you might as well buy a good one to start with. Dusty

Hi guys, man these 16 hour shifts suck,, anyways,, now that I can play with my buds rear drag blade,, I have got ditches hill and gullies all along my driveway,,, looks worse now then when i started,, can somebody tell me how to adjust the blade, so the frame at least sits right,, I know theres only 2 adjustments on it but GEZZZZZ,,pics vido even a write instructin anything OH and one more thing does the 3PH on the BX float l ike the front blade does???

Hi Skeets. There is no down pressure on your three point hitch. It is just the weight of the blade that does the work. Some people put ballast on the blade so it will dig better.Vic has a vid using one for snow but it is the same principle. I usually angle the blade to leave a windrow of gravel towards the centre of the driveway then angle the blade the other way to put the gravel back towards the outside of the lane way. I think Eric could probably give you a better explanation than this. Here is the link to vic's vid.http://www.youtube.com/user/OrangeTractorTalks . Pay attention to what he says about adjusting the top link. Good luck and keep us posted. Hope this was a little help. Dusty

Thanks Dusty, I have watched that a couple of times but nothing clicked,,
but this morning I watched it again, to see what i was missing ,,and,,
I JUST SAW WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW,,about the arms ,, I would guess that useing the same concept that with the adjustment on the right bar I can use it to cut a drainage ditch too by angling that end of the blade down.
Useing the vanacular of Da Burgh,, Younz guys is ok!!!

Hi Skeets. You got it right. Every pass you make gets steeper because the angle mutiplies itself. Dusty

Scrap prices are getting high again. Heard of a fellow with an old tired out payloader he was trying to sell for $8,000. Couldn't find any takers. Took it to the scrap dealer, and they gave him $13,000.
