My seven footer is a woods and the main frame is longer than the one on the six footer. I have used both blades on many different tractors I have not had a problem swinging the blade around. They include 3 different compact kubotas, 8n ford, 231 Massey. 22 Massey, and my Super C with a 3pt. I will say sometimes I have to pull the top link in a little to get clearence to swing the blade. I would compare the main frame on what ever you buy as you may not have any problem with a seven foot blade. [Reply]   [No Email]
