Locking implements in the raised position?
 
I'm going to add a cat. 0 3-point to my 2072. Is there any way to lock it in the raised position so I can also use the front blade without removing the rear implement? I think I have a solution for holding the blade up while using rear implements, but not for the 3-point. Any help?
Thanks

Check extreme motor works, I think they sell something like that.

If you have 3pt..... why do you need a front blade? Just get a rear blade.

He probably doesn't want to constantly be switching implements.

J,
I want the back for a landscape rake or yes, I would use a rear blade. I would also use the 1782 for one or the other, but it will have the mower deck on it soon. I'm not too keen on switching the 60" deck out very often.

You neck would like a front blade better.

I'm a farm boy. Switching implements is just part of the job. Takes less than a minute with these little tractors and implements. I guess I'm just used to it.

Your missing an opportunity to justify buying more Cubs, here's how it works. Have a mower deck= 1 Cub, have a 3 point and one implement = 1 Cub, add 1 Cub for every additional attachment, have a front push blade, you need another Cub. 1 Cub for every attachment, makes life simple. :biggrin2:

I can see where a rear blade and front would work good in snow. There were several times I wanted to pull snow away from doors that a blade would have been the E ticket. Then push the rest off. With no down pressure it is hard to backdrag snow with the push blade, even though I tried. Plus front blade is too low to go over much to backdrag out with.

Sam Mac almost had it right but, need three with mower decks and three for snow duty.

Hey! All three grandsons demand seat time! :beerchug:
