Abstract

A system for controlling an earthworking implement having a plurality of orientations is provided. The earthworking implement is operable in a plurality of orientations. The earthworking implement is removably attached to a track-type tractor that includes a blade support member. The system includes four independently operable hydraulic cylinders where one end of each hydraulic cylinder is pivotally attached to the earthworking implement and other end attached to the blade support member. Further, each of the hydraulic cylinders is adapted to control the orientations of the earthworking implement with respect to the blade support member. A blade support member includes a first end and a second end. Further, the first end is pivotally attached to a center portion of the earthworking implement, and the second end is attached to the main frame.
