I picked up an older Boss steel v-blade. This is from a pickup and I will take care of fabricating the skidsteer mount. My problem is going to be the hydraulics part. The wings each have their own cylinder and each cylinder will need its own control to go from V to scoop and any position between. My 2007 S300 has ACS controls and just the primary set of hydraulic outlets on the front boom. If this was a straight blade, there would be no issue. But, since this is a V-type blade, its gets a little complex. I came up with a few options: I can purchase a 12v solenoid controlled hydraulic valve and run it with the electrical controls, somehow I can purchase and install a set of secondary front hydraulic outlets, but it looks like they are more than I am prepared to spend. I can change the wing cylinders from single acting spring return to double acting, but that still leaves me with the control quandary.
