Backhoe Value-Leader Implements

[Jack Yuan]

I have their 18ton wood splitter, brush shredder, and the BHM7 backhoe, and they all operate superbly. I am very impressed with the machines operation and quality, considering I paid less then 50% that I would have for North American machines.

really 50% lower than North American machines?????

A couple months ago I also bought their 68" flail mower at a $1400 sale price. I have only used it a little bit around the house and find the standard "Y" grass blades to be of low quality as they are already dinged up, due to a lack of heat treating, I assume. I ordered some others from Flail-Master that should be a much better quality blade.

Overall I am content with the money spent and it appears to be well made and should last a long time. Also, a standard cat 1 quick hitch is a couple inches too wide to connect to the lower mount points.

Their customer service is excellent.

Maybe you can try the blade in my factory, they are forging steel blade.

I second that with a couple additional questions:

1- Are these blades designed for the VL EFG175 68" mower (length, width, etc.)?
2- When I purchased this mower I also ordered the mulching blades which appear to be designed the same as your blades and I have not tried them yet. How are your blades of this type better than the VL blades?

Thanks. The only obvious weak spot with my mower is the blades and I need to fix them.

I think there should be 3 ways to get these blade.
1. You can try to ask value leader to supply such blade, I know who is the supplier for value leader, for business secret, I won't talk about them in public. I
know that supplier can supply such forging steel blade, and I think the blade which value leader now use is cast steel blade.

2. You can convince value leader company to import products from me. :laughing: just a joke

3. You can directly buy from me in China, but I think it is not worthy to do so, maybe too much cost.

About the price, I only can tell you that: my new blade is 50% more expensive than the cast steel blade, I mean my buying price. And it is of course stronger than the cast steel blade, also much sharpen.

So I think you can make many telephone call to value leader, tell them many customers want better blade, then maybe value leader will consider use it later on.

Yes, my blade are designed for VL EFG. My blade is much better than VL blades which VL is now using.

I think I can tell you some history about EFGC mower which I mentioned in other post already. it was designed by Denmark engineer, this EFGC mower is a successful and mature products, it is well sold in Europe market, its design and performance is suitable in Europe market. So that VL blade is the standard blade in Europe. But I think US market is a little bit different with Europe, more rock and stone in US, also the earth is more hard somewhere. So for US customer, maybe need better blade.

By the way, can you show me some photo about the condition of your earth?

As a price comparison, I paid ~ 185 for 60 of the scoop-type mulching blades from VL.

Sorry, no pictures at the moment. At my current property where I have tested this mower, the soil is a mixture of clay and sand. Very dense in some spots and very loose in others. When testing the mower I was trying to mulch leaves and you replied to that post. The blades dinged up very easily, just after maybe 1.5 hours of mulching testing.

I am moving the tractor to my new property shortly to clear it for my next home site. That property is VERY rocky and will have to be cleared before I can use the mower.

A very rocky land is a nightmare for your mower blade, I'm sure for this. Maybe you can ask value leader if they sell stone burier, which can clean the small rock.
