@tom The length remains the same because the axle is installed between two parallel levers that move the blade up and down.

@Sariel
Okay, I did not mean the distance between blade and chassis. The path length of the driving axis for the worm gear is slightly changed, when the blade is elevated. Like here:

If you look at the triangle, side b is the blade. Side a is the axis, if the blade is down and c is the axis, if the blade is up. And c is longer than a.
In my construction I always got some tension because auf this change. How did you solve this?

@tom No, it doesn't change the distance.

Hi, your site is great, I learned much about LEGO! I am trying to build a snowgroomer, too and I asked myself, how you did the tilting mechanism of the front blade. I can see the worm gear and the small bevel gear that moves the blade. But how did you connect the axis of the worm gear with the chassis? When moving up and down the blade, doesn’t that change the distance for the axes that drive the worm gear, even with this flexible axis connectors? (of which I do not know the name…)

Thanks for your help!

@Mecho12345 I think the battery box switch may be too hard to move with pneumatics.

can you please make a automatic pump like the one you used here except instead of using a pf switch using the switch on the normal battery box (8881) i tried and failed

Faktycznie. W sumie nie spojrzałem który jest od czego.

Rozgrzebuje temat ale mam tak w nawyku. w jednym odbiorniku mamy 4 kanały i na każdym po max 2 PF czyli razem 8 różnych pf a ty masz tu z 11 silniczków . Jak tym sterujesz?
