Hi All
Just thought I woud show you the results so far of my attempt to build a blade for my 40c.
¶
As the 40 is a 3 roller I wanted to be able to remove the blade when not needed. So I have come up with this design for the subframe.
¶
This is still very much a work in progress but it is at last useable.

So far no problems

Looking good Rex! I was a little concerned that it looked a bit light weight in terms of the front pivot but it appears to be holding up well. Nice looking job on the project.

Thanks for the kind comments wwattson and Tigerhaze.
As much fun as it was to build, using it is a real blast.
For a small tractor it sure can push - much better than a back blade on the big tractor.
