That seems like a hell of an idea. Good old homemade engineering at its best.

Brinly box blade attached. Need to tweak my blade so rippers engage the ground they are about 1" off ground when blade is on ground.

Tweaked tubing so blade was parallel to the ground. When I tried using the blade the aluminum shaft in the actuator broke.

I think the rippers are sort of crap. The blade may be acceptable if there were a sharper wear bar on the lower edge that was sharper.

Just be careful, if a corner of the blade catches it could tweak the frame of the machine or really bend up the entire mount.

I was wondering how much abuse it could take Have you thought about replacing it with a small winch?

Superwinch Terra 25 ordered. Winch will be used to raise the blade. Coil over shock will provide down force for blade and help prevent blade bouncing.

Amazon screwed up my order and sent me a Superwinch 3000 LT. Guy that packed the order must have been unable to get a $15.00 job at McDonalds. Wrong winch returned. Ordered a Superwinch terra 45 instead as they had no more 25 model. To force the blade down I ordered a go cart shock with 400# coil spring. If Amazon delivers the correct winch next weekend I will assemble.
