7' Woods RB750 Back blade

[City Farmer]

Hi all. I just scored a new to me 7' back blade on CL. It's a hyd. tilt and hyd. angle Woods model. It's pretty heavy 1010lbs. Now to my question, is this to much BB for my (47hp) Ford 3000? The guy I bought it from and a couple guys at work say its to much BB for a cat 1 hitch. I have to add remotes to run the unit and and I only want to put them on one tractor. I can easily add the remotes on my 4000 but then it becomes a problem of taking off the BH everytime I want to use the BB. I never really thought about it being to much for the 3000 but now they have me second guessing myself?

Your 3pt lift capacity is 1700lbs @ 24", so you are going to be close to your limit when working the blade. If the blade hitch is a cat 2, then you should bush down the clevis pin size and that is always no fun.

All things to consider. Good luck and nice find by the way. :thumbsup:

Thx. Brian. I'm gonna give it a try and see how it goes on the 3000. I've been very lucky lately, CL has been good to me.
