I have a bit of leveling to do, but my 3 point has no down presure. so I was thinking of takeing out the top ling and putting a hi. cylinder on it. I was thinking that would do the trick. anybody ever done this? I tryed putting weight on it, didn't help much.. don't have any wheel weights.... thanks! Tim SHultz

You didn't say what brand you had of tractor, but you need to check the linkage inside your tractor. If its a Ford, they have a lever below the seat on the right hand side that changes it from draft to response and vice versa. On the Massey-Ferguson tractors your linkage might be out of adjustment and see Big Dean about that.

Could do a lot of damage. I just bought another blade at an auction for 35 bucks because it was damaged. It was a heavy duty one, probally near 200 lbs or more. They must have had it backwards and hit a stump or something that sure didn"t move. It drove the blade and pivot box up into the frame of the blade just past the three point linkage. It was a heavy enclosed triangle frame 3/8" thick. After heat and taking all the bolts out we chained it to another tractor and truck to get it straightened out. Point is Tons of damage due to someone abusing equipment.

I think you'll find a box scraper will work much better for land leveling. Even if you can get your blade to cut, it's difficult to get a smooth finish with a back blade. Most box scrapers have ripper teeth that you can lower to bust up the dirt.

Also, you can probably get your blade to work better if you play around with the angles. Pivot the blade to 45 degrees, and adjust the top link so that the corner of the blade is digging into the ground.

Push down too much on a rear blade with a hydraulic toplink
and you will be removing weight from the rear wheels.
You would lose traction and could not pull it.

If you angle the blade, it will cut better. Too much hydraulic down-pressure on a rear blade can make bad things happen in a hurry. I'd suggest you leave that top link alone.

Rear blades were not ment as a BULLDOZER and it will fold up like a pice of cardboard if you do that even the heavy duty ones will not stand up to down pessure and using a hdy cyl. on the top link you had better make up a swivel for one end or something else will break . Now if you are dead set on having down pressure then BUY A FARMALL with fast hitch like a 300 -460 or a 400-560 then ya can break all kind of things.

May help a little but not much because the lift arms will try to come up when you push down.
