For your circumstances, RUN, don't walk and purchase that blade. For others, as always, circumstances can dictate what you can and can't do. As far as ditching, yes it can be done. Pictures are of my 8' blade putting in a temporary water line.

Good luck. (y)

So, when you say every option, does that include 3 rear remotes as well as the top & tilt cylinders? I ask because the Kubota top & tilt set isn't really engineered for Kubota cat 1-2-size tractors and doesn't have any check valves, which are pretty much required with the Kubota rear remote...

John Deere now has a 5075E HST machine. Sounds like it is pretty much what you wanted. If you have not taken delevery yet, might be something to consider? :unsure:

You should be driving right now if you aren't already. :)

Exactly, by far safer (no poisons) and probably faster. Up and down the road every other week and your drive always looks good. I have 2 of them, a 5-footer for smaller areas and a 7-footer for the main drive. (y) (y)

You will not slow the T&T cylinders down using 1/4" hoses. Why do you not want flow restrictors? You should be using 2" dia cylinders for your T&T units, .030 restrictors on each port are perfect for your tractor.

It's easy enough to add a diverter-s to gain some couplers. Either manual or electric. A picture showing a triple diverter for a John Deere.

Gannon all the way as long as it is a 7 footer. It is well over 1000lbs. The picture shows a cat 1-2 hitch, so you are good to go. My 6' foot Gannon is right at 1000 lbs. You need to get a cat 1-2 top link or be prepared to bush down a cat 2 top link. The tractor end takes a cat 1 (3/4") pin...

Not being a paid advertiser on Orange and Green Tractor Talk, I have to be careful of what I say. Best thing to do is fill out the Fit Rite contact form and we can go from there. At least I can get you some costs to consider.

At the height of COVID, I was at a 40-week lead time. :eek: Currently at an 8-week lead time. (y)

Pictures and whose cylinders do you have? Do the following tests, it is best to have a base line to work from. https://www.fitritehydraulics.com/cylindertest.html

Check the level setting with ALL of your implements. I doubt that it is the same for everything. Then choose a compromise that works. I have found that an 18"-26" length typically works well, but that may not be the case for your applications. :unsure:

Regarding the Kubota rear remote valves. Not all of them are unacceptable. It is a hit and miss type of deal. :( There are people that have what I consider an acceptable leakage rate (less than 1/4" per hour rod extension) and then there are those who have the cylinder rod fully extend on its...

I'm not saying to purchase this unit, but you will not find a better one anywhere IMO. Just giving you something to compare to. ;) https://www.everythingattachments.com/Heavy-Duty-Landscape-Rake-With-Hydraulic-Options-p/hd-ls-lsr.htm
