The title pretty much says it all. I'm looking for a rear blade that offers offset capabiltiy primarily for snow removal. Around here the country is pretty hilly, many driveways are cut across the grade (sidehill). Being able to plow snow to the low side is required, and to maintain the roadway it's important to plow as wide as possible. Now, the problem with that is that it's real easy to drop a wheel off the low side of the roadway-not a good day at all! I'm thinking that hydraulic offset and angle would be really good things to have. I have a bit under 1/2 mile of road myself, and I'm looking to pick up some work from neighbors.
In addition, in the summer I'm looking at doing roadway maintenance and grading, so in addition to the above, gauge wheels might be a real nice thing to have to keep the whoop-de-dos down.
I'm looking at the Landpride RBT35 here:
Land Pride RBT35 Series Rear Blades
Only problem is that I don't see the gauge wheels as an option-I could always build something to address that issue though.
I understand the Woods RB750 might also do what I want:
Woods Equipment Company - 84'', 96'', 108'' & 120'' Heavy-Duty Rear Blades - RB Series
I plan on running these behind a Kubota L3240, do you think it's enough tractor for either of these blades?
Does anyone have any experience with either product, or any recommendations or comments? I would really like to know pricing on both as well. I'm also open to any other manufacturers out there.
Thanks,
Brian
