I have a b2650 cab model with dual hydraulic ports. I would like to buy a hydraulic back blade that allows for rotation of the blade or a kit to make my land pride back blade hydraulic activated. Any body know of any or how to do this Thanks
Hydraulic back blade
- Thread starter zapper
- Start date
Just weld a couple of tabs on for the cylinder and you are good to go. Simple to do, or have done.
About any fab shop should be able to make the mounts for relatively little $$$. That or an RB3772 But that blade is way over kill for your tractor.
I'm thinking that you should be able to do this whole thing for about $300.
Paying to have the mounts made and installed on your blade.
A 3"x 12" welded clevis type cylinder and the hoses and male couplers.
Be sure to get the cylinder first and work from there.

I have a 2016 B2650 Cab model. The local Kubota dealer has installed a hydraulicly operated angling Landpride RB1672 back blade. You buy the back blade and then have dealer add the rear ports and control lever to operate it. The cost is around $1100 over the cost of the blade alone. Landpride hydraulic conversion kit is included in that cost.
I will be adding the second rear port and lever next spring. I want to control the 3 point top cylinder on the fly too. More money but I am finding that it enables you to do angling operations and positioning on the fly that you could never do alone and increases the value of the back blade option dramatically. I can post pics if you want.

I think that you would find that when using a rear blade such as your RB1672 that a hydraulic side link would serve you better than the hydraulic top link.
These rear blades are designed to best be used with the boom parallel with the ground or should I say with the tractor. I know that they get used at times by angling the moldboard forward or back, (typically forward) but ideally the boom should be positioned so that the angle of the blade can always be rotated 360* if you were on level ground and not hit the ground when say 1" above the ground.
This way, particularly with a hydraulic angle, the angle can be adjusted on the fly and not start to dig any deeper on the leading edge as the blade gets angled.
MtnViewRanch,
Thanks for the pointer.....I will look into it. I am going to post some pictures of my new B2650 with the Landpride RB2672 hydraulically angled back blade.

Thanks for the pics Everyman. That is exactly what I want for my B2650HSDC. I already have dual remotes on my tractor. Just wanting to alter my current rb1572 blade or possibly buying a rb1672 hydraulic blade like yours.Oh MtnViewRanch I purchased your top and side cylinder from you and received it in December. I have not installed it yet was waiting on warmer weather. It looks great though thanks.
Thanks, sounds like you may need to go with an electric diverter to get that 3rd rear remote that you are going to need.
I've got my bigger tractor in the yard now to get the 4th and 5th rear remotes installed on it. Hopefully this month.
I put a Land Pride rb2684 with hydraulic angle on my tractor for this season. Haven't gotten much use with it yet, but it's a nicely made blade. I also use a hydraulic top link mostly because I don't like constantly adjusting a manual link every time I swap implements.
Another advantage of the hydraulic top link is I can shorten it up and get the blade much higher off the ground if I want to push snow piles back.
My previous manual angle blade was a County Line plow that I used for over 10 years. It was a great snow blade, but rather than add hydraulics to an old beat up blade I opted to replace it. I also like the higher moldboard of the rb26 series at 18".
