I'm needing a blade to do some light brush clearing and pushing them in a pile. I have used a large box blade before and this works pretty well. Only problem is sometimes the blade gets pushed up if I push something large like a log. Is a front mounted blade a lot more effective? My tractor is a 4020 diesel. How much does a front blade cost and does anybody use them on their 90-100HP tractors? Weight? The only thing I dont like about the front balde is that it is not removable (not easily). All i do with my tractor is bush hog and maintain a driveway. No rowcrop/farming.

Grouser makes front mounted 6-way blades for that size tractor. They have a website. They also make steel tracks for skidsteers.

LaForge makes a front hitch for the 4020 (and many other tractors). I'm not sure what it'd cost you, but you could then attach and detach tools to the front of your tractor just as easily as you can to your standard rear 3-pt hitch.

Their site also has links to many manufacturers of front-mount attachments.

I've had an 8 ft Waldon blade on the front of a 4020 for 20 plus years..... never take it off. Suppose it depends on what you mean by "light brush clearing".....2 or 3 inch shallow rooted, it will do all right, but..... ...IT'S NOT A DOZER. They will also get you stuck due to the weight out in front of the tractor; you can't do much backing up hill or working in mud. I also guarantee that you'll beat your hood up (and maybe your radiator) despite your best efforts. In my neck of the woods, the "off-brands" sell cheap $300-500.....when you can find them. John Deere is much higher.

Got a front blade on my 400 farmall and love it. My dad just bought the blade with no arms and made the rest in the shop it works well in hard ground not so good for soft. I use it a lot to remove small trees when brush hogging. I just let the blade down and the 2 to 3 inch elms come right out of the ground. Two 1 1/2 pins remove the blade and leave the arms on the tractor.
