Hi,
I just puchased a Ford 8n, my first tractor. I'm getting mixed answers on what size of blade to buy for gravel and snow work.
Dealers are telling me I need a 7ft.,some people tell me a 5ft. is all the tractor can handle and i'm considering a 6ft.
Can anybody help me here? Who's right?
Thanks,

Tom

You don't want any bigger than a 6' blade . A 7' will lift the front end at times & you may get hurt or damage something .Njoy the new toy . God bless , Ken

I have a 6 footer that my 8N pulls real well.

An 8N will pull a 7 footer in most stuff but the problem is they can weigh to much to lift them up and keep the front end on the ground. I use a 6 foot on them a lot and they work well if light enough. My one 6 foot I can't use on an 8N because its real heavy and picks the front tires off the ground if I try. So you have to make sure the blade is less then 800LBS or it will cause you problems

I was going to get a 7ft blade for my 8n, but a local tractor shop told me that if I wanted to turn the blade around to do some push blading it would hit on the tires, so I bought a 6ft and it works fine.
