For the small light L2800, I think the KK would be pleanty strong enough.
I've done a bit more digging on blades I could pickup locally (no shipping time or $$$ to worry about) & could use a bit more advice. Or at least some confirmation.
Priefert 72"
452lbs
$759 (If the 1 in stock is still there on Friday its 15% off... $645 I think)
King Kutter BB-72-YK (Professional standard 72" I think)
Weight unknown
$770
(King Kutter BB-G-72 is 500lbs & $983 on ETA, same blade I think)
Brush Hog 72" (think it was a SBX)
550lbs
$1,100
Land Pride or Pioneer
Over 500lbs
Over $1,300 (The green & orange dealers just want too much for their paint job I think)
Brush Hog 72" rollover
$2,200 (out of my range)
Would the King Kutter likely best bang for the buck? At the moment I'm leaning towards the King Kutter, the hitch on it looks a bit beefier & I think is a t least 50lbs more than the cheaper Priefert. I could swing the price of the Brush Hog, if it was worth it, but my budget wouldn't like me as much. Or would one of the other (non-rollover) blades be worth the extra cash?
I ended up bringing home the King Kutter tonight. Big R sold the 1 Priefert they had in stock before it even went on sale tomorrow.
I've been digging all over the Internet & especially at TBN for all sorts of tractor & implement info for months before finally getting my first tractor 2 weekends ago. Apparently my googlefu wasn't good enough on the box blade searches. I definitely appreciate the fountain of knowledge that is TBN.
