Float on a front blade
Is there away to lock out the float when using a Haban front blade on a Cyclops super like a 2084 or 2086? I want some downforce to do some light grading.

Never mind, I see by the search on the forum locking out the float on a front blade is not recommended.

On my manual lift tractors I can apply pressure down holding the lift arm, apply pressure.
Don't know if you can do so with the hydro. Perhaps add weights to the plow / dozer blade? You did say light grading. My long gravel drives need grading and rolling and I also use a plate tamper.  https://youtu.be/lalmNq3d-KI

If you need light down pressure, your best bet it to add a small amount of weight to the blade itself as tankman said. Otherwise, like you've read, using the lift rod to apply down pressure will result in a bent lift rod; ask me how I know

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
