Hello everyone.
As usual I am trying to get my best bang for the buck when it comes to attachments for my 1026R. I have the FEL and Box Blade already. Snow season is approaching and I am wondering if it is now time to buy that rear blade. I currently use a push snow blower for my snow removal needs but was hoping to use the tractor as well this year. FEL seems like it could be helpful with removing large pile ups, but just don't see it being useful in plowing the driveway and parking area. Investing in a front plow to mount to the FEL arms seems like a 1 season investment. Figure the rear blade is probably much cheaper and it can be used in the non-snow season for grating down trails in my woods.
Anyone have thoughts on this? Also can anyone enlighten me on various jobs a rear blade would fall superior to over my box blade? Need all the knowledge I can obtain. I need to do my sales pitch to the wife.
