I bought the 54'' blade last year for my 2305 and wasn't happy with the width and height of it. I had a piece of 1/4'' plate 24'' high by 72'' long rolled to the blades contour and bolted it together.IT works great for pushing snow,the tractor handles it well I've pushed as much as 2' of snow without any problems, I do have a 650 pound ballast box on the back.I also have the 47'' front blower it only takes a few minutes to switch over,which I mainly use.IT is nice using the blade for wet heavy snow. 72'' is about the widest you can go using the jd front quick hitch however, because of the turning radius, any wider the blade will drag on the ground turning it to the left.
