Happy new year everybody! In my travels the other day I saw a Hitachi Zaxis 200 with a blade. I've never seen a machine that size other than a Bladerunner with a blade... Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a picture of it, it was on a lowbed heading the other direction. I've operated smaller machines with blades on them and think that a 200 size machine with a blade would be the cat's meow! What do you guys think? What would be involved to put a blade on a bigger machine? I guess you'd need another circuit through the center swivel at least and an extra hydraulic valve, but are the stock track motors up to the job? Just curious. If I see the machine again I'll do my best to get some pictures!
