Front-Mounted Dozer Blade

Front-Mounted Dozer Blade TRACTORS Miscellaneous 31-1-35 Glen Woodside, Thorndale, Ontario, mounted a 7-ft. dozer blade on the front of his White 1270 tractor, using rectangular steel tubing to build a frame that fits the front of the tractor and extends back under the tractor. It attaches to the tractor's drawbar with a ball-type joint. A double-acting cylinder controls the blade. It has enough down pressure to raise the tractor's front wheels off the ground. Woodside says the most expensive part of the project was the hydraulic cylinder. "It's better than a loader for leveling dirt, pushing manure, snow or brush," he says.
