Did you go with the 60" hydraulic blade?
Yep 60'' Hyd lift and Hyd angle.
I was treated good by the dealer on this blade.
I was going to go with a used one for $1500 in order to save $400 on the deal.
As it turned out the used blade wasn't any account so the dealer ordered a new one and did not increase the package price.
Basically I got the new blade at the used price.
A new 54 '' blade without the Hyd angle was 1400.

Both tractors arrived here today and were unloaded off the Rollback truck around 12 or 1 o'clock.
The 60'' new blade on the used BX1500 is great and worked fine and the new 48'' tiller is a dandy.
I should have bought this out fit a year ago instead of the Cub Cadet GT2554.
Not knocking the CC; it's a great garden tractor but that's all it is.
I mowed about a third of my yard with the new BX1500.
In less than 10 minutes I knew I liked it much better than mowing with the CC GT2554 with manual steering and a manual lift mower deck. (I catch on quick don't I?
)
