It may well be 120lbs/yd. I will have to wait until the snow is gone. It is under 3' of snow right now. I believe the rail came from Canadian National.

I didn't see anything on their site like that maybe it is not on there. I think they have some of their specs messed up. The 6' blade that is painted green that is just like the one in the link weighs 344lbs.

Yup, I think that is the one only in red. $669. can$ plus shipping $150. plus HST = $925.47 and I gotta pick in up in town 6 miles south of me. The good thing is there is a hydraulic shop right around the corner, so I can get the TNT made for it on the same trip. (I will take the tractor down to get it.)

I got the blade I posted about.
Scraped off the driveway when I got it home and I am going out today to finish the job. Got lots of cleanup to do around the buildings.
