I could use some input from this group on a heavy duty rear blade for my JD5325(66hp). Thus far I have used info from this forum, manufacturers/dealers websites, and dealer visits. From this I have narrowed the considerations to Land Pride RBT3596 & RBT4596, Bison NVH-240-XHD & NHVH-242-XHD, and Frontier(Bisons slightly modified) RB2308. I will be using this to complement my Gannon boxblade to build(1500ft) and maintain gravel drive(3000ft) with specific use in crowning, ditching, and snow removal(low-mod snowfall). The weight of these blades runs 750-1150 lbs. There are differences in tilt angle(e.g. 15 deg vs 23 deg), offset distance(e.g. 18 in to 35 in), and moldboard height(e.g. 17 in to 19 in). My question to this group are any of these differences significant for the operations I wish to use it for? For which of the three angles(tilt, offset, angle) should I consider to add hydraulic over manual control?......Thank you, Gary
