New to me 1450, ? front hyd.
 

I just acquired 1450 and I've searched for the reason to have the front hyd. I can't find any attachments. I would like some info.
Thanks in advance.

Hydraulic Angle for front Dozer Blade.

The reason it has the front outlets is because it was ordered that way, or someone has added them.

They were an option from IH

And now a plethora of homemade things :D

Any examples of things that use use a front hydro attachment you've seen? adding a dual spool valve to my 1450 is tempting because snow plowing would be a lot easier with a cylinder on the blade but i was wondering what else it might be useful for.

Hydraulic power is always better than manual power :biggrin2:

If you if have tools and some skills, you can make quite a few handy attachments. Like a heavy rake with a thumb for dozing and picking up brush. Or a light set of forks for moving pallets or lumber. Johnny Bucket.

I have been toying with the idead of a Hyd Lift front mounted Dethatcher.
