Dirt Moving Bought a John Deere 95 9 foot rear blade

[Happy Gilmore]

The rod is 1-1/4". What do you guys think, strong enough? I'm also debating about going with a US made cylinder, I'm guessing Grizzly is foreign?

Ask what the warranty is on the grizzly cylinder then put it against an immovable object and see if it can hold the tractor back.

I ended up ordering a US made Prince 4" bore x 8" stroke cylinder, has a 1-3/4" rod, 20-1/4 retracted. It's costing me an extra $160 over what I paid for the smaller Grizzly, but I think I'll be happier overall.

I think you made a wise choice for back blade use.

Looking forward to finding out.
