can not get my rear blade on to my bx 2200

[billback]

I have a king cutter 6 ft rear blade cat 1 ,i am trying to mount on my bx2200 3pt cat 1, will not go on, the mount for the turnbuckles on lower arms hit the front frame of the blade. and will not slide on to the pins on blade??? anyone got a fix for this ???

i had a farmall with a fasthitch for past 25 yrs loved that.did't even have to get off tractor to load implements .

I miss the fast hitch too!!!! 3 point is a giant pain in the butt!

Anyway, I've got a king cutter blade as well. I can see how you'd have an issue with those sway chain blocks welded to the inside of the three point arms. Only way I can see to get around that is to move the pins forward on your blade frame, either by drilling/cutting new holes, or welding tab extensions on to hold new pins further forward.

Get a smaller blade! 6 foot is over kill for a BX Kubota. You're not going to move any major amouts of snow with it because you dont have enough ass to drag the plow with snow buliding up. I've got a B6100 with a 4ft blade and I struggle sometimes with the snow.

Well... that still doesn't solve his problem. Thing is, he HAS a 6 foot blade, maybe even uses it from time to time on a little larger tractor and it'll cost him way less than the price of a new or even used 4 foot blade to move the pins forward so it is servicable with his current or any other tractor.

billback, if you decide to just add tabs to the front of the blade frame edges to relocate the lift pins 1/2 inch by 3 inch bar stock works well. I'd just drill the holes for the pins prior to welding them on.

I'm not familiar with the blade; can you move the pins to the inside of the tabs? In other words, unbolt them and turn them around?

 

[Kubota Newbie]

If his king cutter is like mine it doesn't have tabs. The blade frame is a piece of 1/2 by 3 (give or take) bar stock bent roughly in the shape of a triangle with the blade at the rear point. Problem is (for him anyway) is that the bends on the front corners have some radius to them (then a little straight area where the pind go before tapering to the back). I'm guessing the pins are just back a little too far to let his stabilizer mounts on the 3-point arms clear that radius on the blade frame.

i have the blade from my larger tractor, i'm only going to use it to scrape the parking lot after the loader on the front pushes the snow off

you are 100% correct, now the welding fun begins

Have you tried pulling the pins out of the stabilizers to get them out further, or are they already hitting the tires. I have removed mine before to make it quicker to mount my 3pt mower. Faster than dealing with the turn buckles and I get a little extra movement.
