I’ve got a 7’ pickup snow blade currently mounted on a narrow front Minnie Mo U. In close quarters on dry pavement, steering with the blade raised is definitely more difficult. However when under way and when maneuvering in the snow – especially with the blade dropped – it steers nice and easy.

I have operated snowblades with Farmall Liftall (belly pump) hydraulics. If you are patient, the Liftall hydraulics work fine. The limitation of course you can’t raise the blade when the clutch is depressed.

Presuming you have a P/U blade that has angle set by a pair one-way cylinders, you can control both blade lift and angle from the Liftall. You will however need to add two 3-position, 4-way valves (one for lift/drop, the other for angle control), then lock the Liftall lever in the “lift” position to feed pressure to the 4 ways for it to work. And again the lift and angle controls will stop working whenever you stomp on the clutch. Plumbing however is relatively straightforward.

Hope this helps - I know first hand what you mean about the "back blade stiff neck"!
