Recently acquired a 1968 Ford 2000. I am now trying to decide what type and brand of rear scraper blade to buy. I will be using it primarily to maintain a well-crowned gravel driveway about 1/4 mile long. How important is it to have a blade that also tilts a few degrees from horizontal? What brand of blades tilt and about how much do they run? I would imagine my tractor would pull a 7' blade okay. What are your thoughts??

Thanks,
RonB

Ron, I have a heavy 7 foot blade made by Ford. It will tilt and will offset to either side of the tractor. I have used the offset a few times, but not many. The tilt is nice in case you need to cut a drainage ditch.

Kermit,
I appreciate your comments. Sounds like you have a real nice blade. Do you remember approximately how much you paid for it?

If all you need to do is to grade your driveway, you might be better off with a york rake. I have both a blade and a rake, but the rake gets more use. (Of course, you can't rake snow very well.)

Whatever you get, make certain that it's heavy enough for your tractor. It seems that so many implements are intended for 8N class tractors, and just aren't stout enough for more powerful machines.

You may want to consider a blade with rear wheels. They help to keep your blade from gouging on rough terrain.

Your tractor can certainly handle a 7 foot blade, but you may want to go up to an eight. Reason: when you angle a 7 ft. blade at 45 degrees, you only have an effective width of about five feet, which is less than the wheel width of your tractor.

I have a 2000 1963 with a 7' grader box for my drive. It does adjust at the PTO. I got mine used for $275. New they are about $380.00

Ron, on most 3pt tractors you can adjust the 3pt arms to raise one end of the blade. a seven foot blade may be a mite mutch for the 2000.

I removed one of the adjustable turnbuckles on my 3 point and installed a hydraulic cylinder in its place. All I have to do is move the hydraulic lever to tilt my blade and it works great.

Fudd,

Thanks for the comment and idea about the hydraulic cyl. on the 3 pt. It would be helpful to see a picture of your setup. Would you be able to post a picture of it for me to see? I'm sure others would like to see it as well.
