KTM,

I have been impressed with Trader Daves stuff in the past. Most is made in Pennsylvania and heavy built. I was going to get a back blade from him but my father showed up with a new "name brand" Woods unit that i have been thoroughly UNIMPRESSED with. It is rated for a 40 horse machine but I put a nice bow in it and have broken the main pin ( a 1/2" bolt!) plowing snow with my 34 horse machine. I have rewelded and reinforced it to make it serviceable.

Its your $$ but my logic is a his are half price and you could do alot with that $600 you save if if meets your initial inspection. Take a caliper to your name brand units steel and compare.
