Are you sure the $500 isn’t for the whole angle kit, including the cylinder etc?

Yeah, I am sure, unfortunately.

Another member here did share some basic measurements with me, would you like me to send them to you?

Would you be able to share them with me, I'm looking at buying a used RB850 and want to add hyd. angle also.
If you're not in a huge hurry I can cut one out in my plasma table. Just might be a little bit as I'm kinda backed up right now.

Can I ask what you gave for your blade? One I'm looking at has been sitting for awhile and has no hyd on it currently, just trying to get an idea if my offer is in the ballpark.

I know what they cost new!

Also what tractor are you using the blade on? I was going to use it on my L3240 but will have to adapt it for Cat1

Sure thing, I gave a little over $800 at an auction. I saw what they cost new, especially with hydraulics. So I had figured I could cheaply add hydraulics, which seems to be true with the exception of needing this top plate for the angle. They are heavy duty, that is for sure! I run mine on a Kubota L5740. I don't understand why they don't have dual cat 1 / 2 pins on this blade, a lot of the other brands do.

Thanks, got the email, I think I can draw it up from the pictures you sent.

The blade I'm looking at might fall through, I think I was a little low on my offer of 700

. If I don't hear back and its not sold by the end of the week I might raise my offer a little, just not looking forward to the 2hr drive to get it, if it works out.

Let me know if you wind up getting it, and if you think you can cut that plate with your plasma. The ability to angle hydraulically would be a game changer for plowing snow for me.

I'm with you, the best deals I find involve half a day of driving. Every once in awhile I see a really good deal on a HD blade like this, but about $800 seems to be a pretty good deal.
