I was thinking my truck is 4wd and diesel, like some tractors, and I have a driveway that needs grading and general maintenance from time to time... Sure would be nice to have a blade for my truck that would attach and detach with ease... Has anyone ever heard of a hyd. three point hitch (like a tractor) for the rear of a truck. It seems that I would not be the only one thinking this...

 

i see jeeps with hydro drills off teh back of them all the time. im sure it can be done, just have to plan/fab/and create. jiMMy

 

If you had a flat bed and custom bumper, it would help. I have contemplated this too. I have the earlier style plow that used a steering pump. I wasn't able to get a pully for the serpentine and picked up an electric pump, like they use for tilt beds. It runs the plow and I have been thing of adding other components like a 3-point. Mainly so I can use a 3-point log splitter and some sort of lift.

 

One problem with using a blade would be the rear susp. in the truck. Tractors are not suspd. so much easier to do this kind of work. Maybe it would not be so bad with our trucks though since they ride like tractors anyway...
I suppose it all could be fabbed, but how do you deal with the lift and pump?

 

Around here they use that set up for snow plowing. I cant rember what brand they are but I'll keep aneye out for one. The way the weather is going that may be sooner than later
