New rear blade :0

[Redlands Okie]

I got a RBT 3596 over a year ago. Been really pleased with it. Yours is heavier than mine and should work even better. I think you got yourself a nice setup.
Congrats on the purchase.

Very, Very nice blade!!! I needed one not long ago and like you could not find a nice used blade, only abused ones for almost new price. I ordered a rbt4096 that handles my tractor perfectly and it's pretty much identical in size to yours so I don't think you'll ever have any issues with that beast behind you. Far as the learning curve, that's the fun part. Enjoy!

View attachment 570133 Wish I had a better picture. This is my Rhino 950 - - quite similar to your shiny new unit - only all manual.



Short story - three years ago - down the driveway with the rear blade cleaning ditches. Stopped the tractor on a slight side hill slope - on the driveway. Dropped the keeper pin on the blade swing function. Gravity took over and the blade ran right over me. I gave it my very best - trying to stop the motion - no joy. I hit the deck and that sharp 'ol blade made a very noticeable mark on the back of my Carhartt jacket as it passed over me. Object lesson - only make blade mods on more level ground OR prepare to be sliced/diced. My salvation - the blade was raised to full height - anything less - I don't like thinking about that scenario.

I have the Woods RB96.60, which is almost identical to yours. It's a beast. You will love it

Looks like Santa made pre run :thumbsup: even the little yard boss seems to like it.

I bought a Land Pride RB3796. I’ve now added a Fit-Rite blade angle cylinder and a pair LP skid shoes to it.

This pic is before skid shoes and cylinder were added.

rigustafson - Your 3796 is Land Prides next step up from my old 3596. You should get Brian's hydraulic top link also. What a world of difference in the way my Rhino 950 works!!!

Mopardude - I finally got to looking at your brand new shiny - no-dirt-on-it-yet-blade & thinking (us Norwegians are noted for being somewhat slow - ufda) - you must have some sort of "PLAY CARD" when you use that thing. Going down the driveway - do you tilt with you Fit-Rite hydraulic tilt or do you tilt with the hydraulic tilt thats built into the new blade. That's the only function thats doubled up so maybe it won't be that confusing.

If we see a big Kubota with a shiny new rear blade - just a borin' on down - we promise not to laugh - we will come and help - - honest.

Now just be careful that you don't blade all your driveway into the starboard side ditch - - ha, ha, ha. Have fun man - enjoy.

I’m now on my 3rd set of T&T cylinders from Brian. My LS XR4155HC has three sets of rear remotes so I can use hydraulic top and side links and blade angle on 3rd remote.

To be completely honest with you since it got unloaded right at that spot last week, I haven't even used it yet. Still sitting there. Work has been killin me, I leave the road at 430am and don't get home till 7. By that time I'm completely exhausted. LOL.

I'm sure whichever tilt option I do use will be based off the situation? Maybe Brian can chime in.
