Price is very reasonable and located with a couple hundred miles. I have not looked at it in person, but owner states that he thinks it is homemade. I would prefer a factory unit, and this one looks pretty good for homemade. Opinions? As you can see it does not adjust from side to side which I prefer. Thanks. Jason [Reply]   [No Email]

After having used a front blade for years now I'll have to say that if it doesn't angle I'd rather have a front end loader. I do use mine straight-on some but not as much as angled. A fellow here 8Ner from Milwaukee WI area might have found an extra push frame for a Hundred Series. He was talking about selling one. No blade for it IIRC but the blade for the Ns, Hundred and even 3 cyl Thousands will all fit. If he doesn't weigh in here I could put you in touch with him. He's not much of a deer hunter but a good guy otherwise.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I would prefer it, just do not find front blades in this area. I would like to find a hydraulic blade as I don't want to tie up the three point. I might get to a point where I will have to make one, but I prefer factory. Thanks. Jason   [Reply]  [No Email]

It's my experience that unless you have a tracked machine or heavy 4wd, an angled blade will push the tractor sideways more than the tractor will push a pile of dirt at an angle. That's my experience anyway. If your using it for snow, then I agree, angle is the way to go.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I would like to find one that angles. It was offered for 100 which I thought was very reasonable. Jason   [Reply]  [No Email]
