I've found a used 7' York rear scraper blade for sale at a used implement dealer for $350. It is a heavy duty unit with angle, tilt, and right/left offset adjustments. The edge is worn somewhat. Two minor cracks (2 inches) on the adjusting bracket on original welds. Dealer will vee out the crack and reweld. Claims if he repaints it he can get $450-475. for it and that it would cost more than $750. for one like it new. I know I can get a good looking new heavy duty 7' blade from Quality Farm & Fleet for $300. but it doesn't have the tilt (for the horizontal axis) or the side shift or offset capability. (These are features I think would be helpful in grading a gravel road 1/4 mile long.) Does $350. sound like a fair price for the heavy duty York unit??

Buy it.

The stuff from Tractor Supply, Northern, Quality, etc... is junk. believe me, I know forst hand. I own some of it. I bought cheap and got cheap. The stuff is fine for light duty, but when I work it with my Case 611B, I can bend it up real good.

You get what you pay for.

I bought a "top of the line" 7' back blade from Central Tractor (QF&F). It didn't last a year. Welds broke, and frame bent. I had to send it out to get straightened and reinforced. Since I did that I has worked good. Your dealer might be telling you the straight scoop. If you are going to use the blade hard think twice about QF&F 'attractive' price and have your welder ready.

I bought a no-name used one at auction for that price with all the adjustments you describe. Mine is a 6 footer. I think you'll be happier with all the adjustments.

I think your right about the adjustments Jim. If I bought the Farm/Fleet scraper without them, I would always wish I had them. Thanks for the input--I think I'll get the York.
