Rear Blade best rear blade

sammyboy · Dec 4, 2002

I have a Kubota L3410. I am researching rear blades and want to know who makes the best (fit and finish, durability, smart engineering, ease of use, features). I will be using it for the usual things like snow removal, grading drive, ditching).
Two brands that local dealers sell are Woods and Befco, but there are likely other choices and I have made no decisions yet.

Thanks,

Sam

I have a smaller tractor than yours (B7500), and I have a Kodiak 6' blade. It's well built but a light to medium duty blade (1/4 inch steel). The other one I looked at was Bush Hog. It was also well built but more $.
I use mine mostly for snow removal but it would handle light grading.

I bought my blade just for snow removal, so I didn't go for the top of the line (it is a King Kutter light/medium duty 6'). When I was shopping for blades the Monroe Tufline products looked really solid to me.

Land Pride makes very good quality rear blades and many other implements. They make rear blades designed for tractors ranging from 17HP - 180HP. I haven't seen much about it on TBN but some manufactures such as Land Pride also make optional skid shoes for their rear blades. The skid shoes can help prevent driveway damage when removing snow. I have the 1560 model with skid shoes for my BX2200 and I have no complaints.

I have a WOODS RB60 blade for my 4110 and am very happy with it. Very good construction and the ability to put the blade in different positions and angles.

I like my Tufline <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.monroetufline.com>http://www.monroetufline.com</A> I bent a couple I had before, Woods, and Bushhog.

I have done tons with my rear, and its built 10x stronger too, and paid $150 less than the other brand.

I also have a Landpride rear blade. Mine is a RBT 1560 if I remember correctly. I have a B7500 and use the blade for irrigation border maintenance and some ditching, although the B7500 is a little too light for the ditching. The blade has held up very well and can move a heck of a lot of dirt. I highly recommend Landpride blades.

Sam,

I am familiar with bison and woods. Both make a great product.
I went with bison due to the fact that the cost was lower and the model I bought is ready for hydraulics by adding your own cylinders.
