Been on a machine like that for a month now and it has exellent balance. One downpoint is that forward visibility is a bit restricted because of the wide hood that has to house the anti pollution system
I dunno about taking weight away from the front, when you are really digging in hard while pushing, the rear always seems to dig down, having more weight up front would level it off. But then again, I don't have an enginerding degree that says I'm smarter than the dopes at the controls.
Talk about taking a simple 6 way blade set up and over engineering it to the point where its just a dogs ass, imagine that lower fame in soft material dragging in the mud, it would make u get stuck, lots a places to grease and wear out, and would have to be front heavy looking at all the steel in that setup. Think I would just settle for a standard S U Blade thanks.
A bulldozer is not a motor grader an never was meant to be your creating a nightmare leave it alone ,, Unless you drastically change the front idlers to much weight ,,all you have is a tip toeing dozer with no Balance your actually causing more problems , go back to the older manual angle blade design

Went backwards on the pitch adjustment, should be a cylinder controlled from the cab.

All that, and the pitch control is still manual. Lol. I figured it'd be an in cab control.
Learned more in 3 minutes. Thanks, eh.
