Were you "pushing" with the rear blade;that's a no-no;designed to pull not push.No trip somethings got to give.

Did your dealer sell it to you or was it an internet purchase? Sorry I dont have any experience with this brand. Very unfortunate to have this happen in snow season :(

Looks like a cheaply made blade. Thin material and crappy welds. We can clearly see that a full bead of weld had no penetration at all.

I think you may need a heavier duty blade for the Branson. Those tractors are very heavy and put lots of traction on the tires, so the implements need to be up to the task at handling all the forces.

Hard to believe you felt nothing....but looks bad. I have seen blade bend before they break something was not welded very well.

Yikes! Sorry to see that. Had to have been a rock. What speed were you going and was it down a steep grade?

"Heavy Duty" everywhere except where the strength is needed. Looks like a flesh wound. Tack welded but not 'welded'.

HF 90a glue gun. Could be a warranty issue, carefully document poor welds. If not, cut and repair as neccessary. Hopefully not with a glue gun, but an actual welder. On the bright side, better the damage happened to the blade, rather than the tractor.

Oh crap.... And I was seriously contemplating purchasing that particular blade/design in 48 or 54 inch for behind my SCUT... As a alternative to the cheap crap at TSC...

I would send pictures and complaint directly to BE corporate (yes it's also chinese import) ....
