I am looking for a rear blade for a 30 hp tractor with 3pt hitch. Plan to use it for snow removal and grading. Expect to pay under $400. I would appreciate some recommendations on choice of brand, size, and features. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I bought a new Landpride 15 series 72" blade 6 years ago for $280.00. It is reversible, it angles and offsets. The blade is renewable and also can be turned over for a new edge. We don't have snow on the Oregon coast but I use it mostly to push dirt around and level the gravel in the road with my 8N Ford. It is well built but is not a heavy weight. I dont use it every day but after 6 years it is still like new (painted it once - we get over 100" of rain each year and I don't want it to rust.) For the money, I like the Landpride.

I think you are on the right track considering Woods. another is Rino (not sure of spl) brand they are heavy duty, but over your $400 budget if new. If you live near Western NY I have a heavy IH that is heavy duty. If you are handy with welding and torches (need the torches to heat and straighten). Central Tractor (CT stores) sells some light duty stuff, I bought the top of the line 7' blade 5 yrs ago. It was ok for snow removal but for grading -it bent into a pretzel. My welder man spent a few hours on it to repair and reinforcing. It works okay now but it is reinforced.

Steve, email me. I saw on the other posts you are not that far from Jamestown. I could send you some pictures of my 2 back blades. You can see for yourself the difference between the two. I've got a box scraper now and just need a blade for snow removal.

Nellie,

I don't know your email address. Reply back to me about your blade. Thanks.

1. HEAVY
2. HEAVY
3. HEAVY
4. reversible.
5. category to fit the tractor.
6. 6'
7. replaceable cutting edge.

The typical three point has no down pressure, you need weight to replace that. The three point will control the down pressure in draft mode or position in lift mode. Reversible so you can push to the rear. Angling is usually part of reversibility, though I've not found it a great benefit because the light tractor can't counteract the side thrust (e.g. when I tried to place snow with an 8N and an angled blade I ended up in the ditch) and the small three point can't control the side thrust either. 6' is enough to get the tractor through and still narrow enough to not be clumsy.

My current blade is a very used Danuser. I still hang a couple hundred pounds of wheel weights on it for driveway gravel leveling. A heavy blade will come with a sturdy frame.

Gerald,

Thanks for your response. A heavy blade is what I'll be looking for. However, I am not sure my budget of $400 is adequate for a new heavy blade. Today I looked at blades from Land Pride and Woods which I would consider medium duty which are slightly higher than this. I have not yet had success finding anything used in the classifeds but I expect I eventually will get lucky. Take care.

Steve,
Around here, (Wisconsin) farm auctions are a good place to look for good used 3 pt. blades. They will certainly be a lot cheaper than new. Just watch for the auction bills to come out and then give the owner a call to check on the condition. Good luck!
A set of rear tractor chains will be absolutely essential if you will be trying to move any amount of snow.

I saw one near Syracuse last night that was for sale with the tractor. He might separate. Interested?

Tim, Thanks for the information. However, unless the blade is an exceptional deal, I would find it hard to justify traveling from north of Niagara Falls to the Syracuse area. Again thanks. Saw your posting for the 861 on another forum. I am curious. Do you know the price?

$3950, I think he'll take less. Email me for his phone #, if interested.
