signboss 0 #1 Posted September 26, 2010 I would like to see pics of a 310-8 or similiar with mid grader blade how do they hook up to tractor? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,015 #2 Posted September 26, 2010 :USA: First of all before we get too far which grader blade are you referring to? Are you wanting hook up for 40" or 50" blade. They hook up completely different. Good luck! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
signboss 0 #3 Posted September 26, 2010 not sure i was thinking it would be good to grade driveway and remove snow what size would be good for this size tractor? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,015 #4 Posted September 26, 2010 I have a 40" blade that I have put on a C-85 and is now currently on one of my Commando 8's. From the sounds of what you are wanting to do either one would work fine. The 50" blade can be angled from the seat where as the 40" can not. It seems that I have seen more of the 40" blades available lately. Either one will work for your application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuboxlover 474 #5 Posted September 26, 2010 While I have never used my mid grader blade to move snow or rock, would a front dozer blade be better for snow? while a mid might be better for rock? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #6 Posted September 26, 2010 If the 40" (true mid-mount) blade is new enough, it can be angled from the seat - more easily on tractors without footrests though. The first design did require the operator to reach under the tractor and release the lock pin. I built one and made the release handle longer so it could be reached from the seat: They work pretty well for scraping the hard-pack snow off once the area has been cleared with a dozer blade, but using one to remove all of the snow would mean that the front tires are packing the snow ahead of the grader. I don't agree with the design of the push-style grader blade, but I have never used one. Of course this is only my opinion -- but if all of the "real" motor graders (Cat, Galion, Champion, A-W, etc.) pull their blades, there must be a reason. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
