3 point hitch electric angle adjustment

[unclejemima]

I'm getting more used to using my 3 point rear blade for snow removal, and I don't mind running back there and adjusting the blade angle...but what is annoying is everytime I change from extreme left to extreme right angle, I have to adjust the rear 3 point arm that changes the left to right pitch. You know, the rod that you have to manually spin say if you want to create a ditch or something.

Even if I have it set at what I think is level, when I rotate the blade the other direction I have to turn the adjustment thing to get it level again. Its a pain, especially if its cold outside.

Does anyone make an electric version of this arm that I have to turn to adjust the rear 3 point angle?

Thanks!

No, only hydraulic, an electric actuator will not hold up, way too much force.

Now the reason your having to adjust the tilt when you swing the blade is you have the top link either set too short or too long.
The main beam that goes back from the tractor's bottom 2 points of the three point, and back to the blade should be level with the ground, that way when you swing the blade it stays level, check it when the blade is down, and not up.

Exactly as wolfman said. Pivot pin on blade needs to be perfectly vertical. Another way is angle blade and adjust top link until you are happy with it. That is,with three point arms level.

With blade on ground the top link should be somewhat level too.

Every fall when I put my rear blade on, I do a quick check while on concrete.

Level rear blade an inch or less above concrete on 3pt arms

Then swing rear blade 90degrees, adjust top link till blade is level

Hi Guys. Thanks for the info.
I'll give this a try. Makes sense!
