7' Four Way Dozer Blade

[nailsbeats]

My dozer blade. Blade itself is made out of two 7' long X 3/4" thick grader cutting edges welded together. Got them both brand new for about $80 from a local guy. Cyliders are 3"x8" tie rod style. In the future I may add a 6" or 8" piece of flat on top in the middle to protect the cylinders from over of material. It is very solid and works great.

The blade angles with an auxilary hydralic thumb switch on my right drive stick. Machine tilts and goes up and down with lift arms.

Thanks, work hard to make them that way and still keep the prices down. When I dig in I don't stop until it is done that is the only way I have time.
Friday I am going to add wheels out in front of my blade for grading. I will make them removable with quick pins. Will send pictures and a full report. Have to do some research.
