FEL Snowplow, Which Brand?

[JP11]

I'm looking at 3. Some are deals for leftovers, some are just ordering.

Horst HLA Series 2000
Worksaver
WR Long

Looking at 7 or 7.5 with hydraulic angle.

It's going on a skidsteer mount on a L3540 Kubota Cab tractor. 37HP. R4s. Pretty much flat 1/2 mile smooth gravel drive.

Thoughts? Anyone got one of these brand blades?

Thanks

I have Horst forks, don't know anything about the other 2, but the forks are made very well.

I have an 8' Horst HLA 2000. Make sure to get one that has adjustable feet as the picture I saw had them but when mine was delivered they were fixed. The plow ended up digging into the uneven ground (2 miles) I was plowing. I modified the feet and that problem went away. It is very rugged and well built.

I saw that in one picture. It looked like a couple of tabs for wear strips. Instead of the more common mushroom shaped pads that have washers for spacing. I really think I'll end up running it down the drive lifted just a hair till the driveway freezes up good.

I'm not as impressed with the constuction of the others.. but boy, the price difference is huge, and the weight is similar.
