Yes, making stops for angling is a good idea. Otherwise you could bend or blow out the cylinder. Most angle blades use 2 cylinders for angling them. I looked at some angle blades for bobcats a few years ago that used one cylinder but it had angle stops so it wasn't pulling on the cylinder or pushing on it. The other thing you could do is just use pins to angle it like on big tractor blades. A selector valve should be easy to plumb in to your bucket valve. They aren't too expensive. If you disconnect the bucket cylinders, they could creep. Sometimes you need to tilt the blade forward to get all the snow off of it when piling the snow. Does the blade your looking at have a spring trip? It could save a lot of potential damage. Being able to change the tilt of the blade down more makes it dig into packed snow better and tilting it back makes it not dig in as much. This is good on loose snow on a gravel driveway, so the gravel stays put. Dave
