Evening,
This season I am contemplating adding a front plow blade to my B2320. I have a rear blade but would like the front option as well.
I want to keep the cost down so I'm searching Craigslist and have come upon many light truck blades which include pusher tubes (is that the right term) and hydraulic cylinders. For a solid blade that I can cut down I'm looking at around $200 and I would fab a bracket to attach to my QA.
I have also looked at the more simple 5' Moose blades which lack the hydraulic option.
Assuming I have decided I want a front blade, should I go with the simple Moose or the light truck model with the potential for hydraulic angling later on. I don't have a third function valve but will likely add one next year for a grapple.
I have a 60 foot paved driveway with a single lane leading to a 3 wide parking area.
Is power angling really that important? Do those who have it use it enough to justify the added cost and complexity?
Thank you for your time.
