I guess that would help Steve but I am already exceeding the capacity of 
that blade by about 100 percent. The Cancade was a light duty dozer 
originally designed for about a 50 hp tractor so I am pushing my luck 
already. Its also too narrow at eight feet but again, a wider blade just 
puts more strain on the rest of the frame. It is already bent in the 
pivot area.
The light weight is an advantage in that it does not overload the front 
end of the tractor and take weight off the driving wheels. The big 
strong Leon and Degelman dozer blades could take all the abuse I'd ever 
give them but at huge cost. Heavy to install and carry around too. This 
one I just drop the whole push bar off every spring. Takes maybe half an 
hour . So its a trade off either way. I guess I'll stick with what I have .
