CLOSE! I can see the quick offset. The tilt that they refer to is to tilt the blade (in plane) forward or back, giving the scoop of the blade more or less bite for digging. The tilt that I am refering to is different. It's to tilt the blade down on one side (while the other side goes up), for digging drainage ditches and things like that.

You must have checked LandPride by now, correct.??
As for the tilt...I do understand what you are looking for. However, assuming you have a 3pt. hitch, one of your bottom links can be extended or re-tracted in a way that it tilts the blade.
Another thing I would add is this....angling the blade helps with the tilt. I dug a ditch with my blade and I had plenty of adjustment, not needing the tilt feature that you describe.
Good luck in finding what you want or need.

It's the offset that you don't find on many, only see that feature on expensive units.
Yes, and I've worked with that on my current 60 inch blade. That will induce some tilt to the blade. The problem becomes though that:
a). It's fairly limited. I can only impart about a 10 degree (if that) tilt on the blade through the turnbuckle adjustment.
b). It reduces the blade lift that the 3 point can do.
c). True blade tilt capable blades can be tilt adjusted in just a few seconds. You pull the tilt lock pin, swing the blade to the new tilt position, and replace the tilt lock pin.
Right now I have this on the current blade. I also have offset. I get to unbolt the blade from it's attachment points, pull the blade over and then re-bolt it. A quick offset is just nicer.
So I have to some small degree, tilt and offset. I'd just like these as easier features.
I do appreciate the help though.

Hi Guys and Gals,
Well after exploring this further with all you're help, it looks like I'm going to have to re-think this. I have looked at LandPride, Woods and King Kutter and others, and none of them look like they meet my criteria. I'm going to scale back what I'm looking for and just be happy with less blade (and more money in my pocket).
I would like to thank you all for you're help.

Are you telling me you are backing away from purchasing an implement.??
Wow, I wish I could do that.!!!!
Best wishes Larry.

I can see how it can get addictive. I have been doing some internet window shopping for a few new toys for my TN65.
Not bashing the King Kutter from TSC, but I like for my potential attachments to be built a little heavier than what they tend to offer. I also have a soft spot for Made in USA when I can find it.

Before you give up check out the Bush Hog dealers, it has the features you want and I've found the prices vary between dealers. I have one and really like the off-set feature.

taborekle,
Don't despair, I also was looking for just what you want and was afraid that I would have to scale back as the "offset" was not in my price range. What I found, and you may like to take a look at is a Bush Hog 50-07. This is a med duty 7 foot blade, with tilt, swivel, and offset. The 7ft may be a little too long for your tractor, (won't swivel completely when raised to reverse blade.. major problem) But I believe that the blade comes in a 6 ft also. Should be in the 600-700 range. I KNOW you can get all you want in the 70-06 model, but this is heavy duty, and more $$$ but still in the 8-900 range. I had originally been looking at the 70-07 as it had the tilt, swivel, and offset, but when I went to pick it up, they had the 50-07 on the lot, and it had all I wanted, and was 200$ cheaper. Decision made. ( I already have an Rhino 8ft blade that is as heavy duty as I will ever need)
I think if you can find one to take a look at you will not be disappointed. Take a look here if interested. Good Luck.
