I was thinking of getting a Woods RBC60 rear blade for my 1955 Ford 960 to move snow with and maybe spread dirt in summer. Does anyone have any experience with this blade in snow? How well does it work? Would you use the draft control with that I wonder? So that as you drive over snow bumps the blade doesn"t lift? Thanks,
Brad_bb

The longer your top link is the more your blade will dig in. The shorter the top link the less it will dig. I keep mine fairly short in the less dig mode so I can also push snow in reverse.

I have 7 ft rear blade on my TO-30 that I use to remove snow with. I have over a quarter mile of driveways. I take off the grader blade in the late fall and bolt in my "snow edge". It's a piece of 3 inch pipe that is slit and welded(c-) to a 7 ft long, 3/8" plate that's 6 inches wide and drilled to match the holes in the blade. The 3 inch pipe keeps me from moving gravel. i've had this now for about a6 years and it works fine. Come Spring, I put the grader blade back onand us it to grade with.

Brad,
Many many people on here use a rear blade for snow. As for the draft I cant answer that. I have a very heavy 8' land pride blade. I am adding pipe to the bottom this year since I ripped up a bunch of gravel last year.

I also have a 7' blade (manual angle) probably similar weight to your blade. A couple people suggested putting 2" PVC over the cutting edge. Works perfect. Sometimes the PVC will fall off, but not often. Just cut a slit in it with the skilsaw, then wedged it on. I also use that blade w/o the draft control. Works fine.

I like the 8' blade better since it has hyd. angle and is wider.

Do a search you will find more on this.

Rick

If you happen to have one with blade tilt, tilt it so the bottom of the blade is away from the direction your going. Won't grab any gravel.
