I've looked at these too. Prices are attractive, but what they sell is the Howse low-end line. I've been told that the better Howse equipment is OK, but what Northern sells is the economy grade-and this stuff is pretty thin and lightweight.

Lloyd,

Unless you have nice soft/no rock soil you might want to look at something a bit heavier. Lots of people have bought light wieght box and rear blades just to replace them in a short time. Also, the wieght of the blade often is what makes it do the job rather than bounce along the surface.
