I reversed mine all the time before I had a hydraulic blade, now I can’t.
Can't you just unbolt and reboot it in reverse? Yes, I understand the blades are heavy. :D. But, possible, right?

I believe you can remove the pin for the hydraulic cylinder that controls the blade angle (has a cotter pin/keeper…at least mine does) and then Swivel the blade 180 and then put the pin back in.

Honestly, I have not looked at it closely to see what kind of a pain it would be.

It’s really much different than disconnecting a strut on a screen door to open it wider for bringing a piece of furniture thru and then reattaching the strut when done.
