I have been looking for a used 8 foot heavy duty rear blade that I can pull behind a 90 hp tractor and not worry about tearing up. Is there such a thing out there? I have been looking a long time ha ha

Lookem up here a couple diffrent manufactorers make em.
As for finding one used God only knows IMO.
For a 90hp tractor I think I'd go wider remember when you angle it off you'll lose width.

Do you have the rear remotes for the hydraulics? Most of the rear blades that will stand up to your tractor will be hydraulically adjusted to angle, off set and tilt. A 9 footer would be a good match for your tractor. New you would be looking in the range of $3500-$5000. Here's a picture of mine, it is a great implement.

Good luck in your search for a used one that will work out for you. ;)

Yes, I have remotes.

What tractor is that you have?

That is a 75hp Mahindra 7520 ballasted to 12,000lbs. It is what I consider to be at the lower end of the capacity of my rear blade.

I picked up this one from craigslist for $1200:

Its a woods RB850, which is rated for tractors up to 100hp and 10,000lbs.

It came with tilt and offset cylinders. I added angle.

They are out there, just have to be patient and keep looking.

If you want to make a road trip to MI I saw a Bush Hog 121-09. Rated for 120HP, weighs 910lbs without cylinders. This one has all three cylinders, angle offset and tilt. They wanted $1450, then $1375, now $1275. They state the blade has been repaired (welded). Looked like a good weld in their picture.

This was posted about 6 weeks after I bought my Bush Hog 121-09 with only one cylinder in Ohio! For $300 more

Forgot to say the Bush Hog 121-09 is a 9' blade.
