Just to keep it short, stopped by TSC in Gaylord this week. Bought a 5' rear blade that lists on the website for $319. Manager quoted me $259 and I had a coupon in my pocket for another $5 off. For $255, I couldn't go wrong. I have some plans for pulling gravel and other duties this summer, but I thought, "Why not?" We got a skiff of snow on Tuesday, so I took it out to back blade off the drive. OK, it works, sort of.
But when you are used to a full hydraulic front blade, all I can say is: It does not compare. Details available, but without listing all the differences and the faults of a back blade, all I'd recommend to someone who thinks they are going to manage a snowy winter with simply a back blade, I'd have to advise them to re-think the plan.
