Horst 3000 new loader snow blade arrived.

DP Property · Oct 30, 2011

I picked up my new snow blade for the 3720 on Friday. Part of me wishes I would have ordered the 82 " instead of the 72 " and I did see about changing the order but It would have put me well into Christmas had I changed my order. Horst is very busy with back orders and there snow blades are like gold once you get one. The quality of the blade construction looks really good and unlike my kubota 7510 loader snow blade this one will run off the rear remotes on the JD3720 and will use a little button keypad style that is built rite into the handle of the loader control for left and right (very cool) I won't lose tilt control. Not that you need tilt but if your blade ever droops you can re-level it witch is really nice. I can't do that with the kubota as I lose the tilt controls to move the blade right and left. It was getting dark but I got a few pictures. I do most of my snow removal in my F350 with a v blade but have a few properties in town that are small or tight with parked cars. This set up should be excellent for those and a lot of fun to operate!

oh and not to mention that once all the snow removal contracts are done this should be the cats *** for driveway cash $$$

Nice looking blade, DP...definitely well built!!
Have you attached it to your loader yet?

Congrats. Those 3000 blades are built like a brick. You'll need good ballast in the back to offset the front weight.

Nice looking rig! I like that it doesn't hang way out in front like some of the adapted pickup plow setups do.

Very nice DP!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back? Also, was the JD paint an extra?

WilliamBos · Oct 30, 2011

Nice set up. Would like to get one for the 1635.

Horst makes some real nice stuff. I think your going to really wish you waited for the 84" also. You may also find that chains are in your future. R4's are not the greatest in the snow. But put on some rear chains and you'll move mountains.

Very nice and rugged looking. Let us know how she performs. I run mine (JD fel plow) with R4's, Rimguard and ballast box and have never had a need for chains.
