I sold a blade today and bought a blade today

I sold the Wood RBC60 I had for the BX today.:cool2: I was beginning to think no one was going to buy it. I bought the blade new back in June, it was some old stock and the paint was faded. I wanted to get something with a taller moldboard. Here are some pics of the old blade.

I saw a Woods RB60 on craigslist yesterday and I got it today. It was quite a ride to get it, I ran to some real bad fog on the way. It was about zero visibility at times. The blade is pretty much like new. There is not any wear on the cutting edge. It just needs a new paint job and will turn Kubota orange. Woods website says the blade is supposed to have a 3/16'' moldboard but this one has a 1/4''. It was made in 2001 so I guess sometime there after they changed the thickness of the moldboard or either it is a missprint. It will be better for playing in the snow. Here are some pictures of the RB60, it looks a lot better on the tractor.

The BX will pick it up high enough to tilt it.

I guess the park stand was made on a Friday at 4:59PM because they did not drill the bottom hole in it so you can all the way up while it is in use.

The park stand looks like the one on my tiller. I pull it out and turn it upside down, that gets it out of the way.

You have to tip the blade way back to get it out, and that does not work good with the quick hitch. I can drill a hole to pick it up. I just thought it was funny they missed it.

Bullitt,

A little green paint and it will look great.:thumbsup::laughing:

Seriously looks like an upgrade to me.

you didn't get that to clean your neighbors yard did you? Looks good, makes me want an upgrade.

Very nice looking implement indeed.:thumbsup:

That is a bit taller.
I'd say you made the right choice.
The extra weight should be to your advantage also.
Nice looking blade.

Looks like quite a stash of Miller Lite there in the background.

Thanks. It will look better once it is painted. I may add a lift hook to and possibly a extra brace.

You can actually feel this blade behind the tractor. I got such a good deal on it I could not turn it down.

No, there is not any Miller Lite in the fridge, just water.

Those type blades are great for ditching...good purchase.
