Best medium to heavy duty 7\' rear blade
I've looked at lots of 7' rear blades. I apparently need at least a "medium" or "heavy duty" blade. I borrowed a neighbor's KK brand and destroyed the thing. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I suppose it is okay for a garden tractor, but clearing just snow last year it caught an expansion joint in my driveway and it was history. My question is, what is a good quality heavy built rear blade that I can use for some dirt work as well as clearing snow etc. that isn't just junk? I have a local Rural King and TSC, but all they carry would be a total waste of money for me as my tractor would fold them up and destroy them the first time I hit anything solid, like my driveway expansion joints. Is it going to take a 500 pound or heavier blade to get what I want? If so, what brands and prices?
