FEL vs BB for snow removal

[Mac25]

Just recently purchased a Land Pride RB1560 back blade and used it on my drive for the first time tonight. Holy cow am I impressed! 10x faster than the FEL. I really like the fact that I can actually see the work I am doing as opposed to the FEL. I offset the blade to the right, angled it, put it in 4x4 and the rest is history. Can't believe I didn't buy one last year.

I tried the back blade for a couple of winters and just couldn't get the hang of it.

I have an old beat up 6' rear blade that I got with my Ford 8n and used it in my 1/3 mile long asphalt driveway last year, and it worked well. When I sold the Ford earlier this year after buying a new Kubota B2320, I kept the old blade (mainly because the buyer didn't want it) and use it in conjunction with the front loader. Blade for straightaways, loader bucket for hard to reach spots. Works really well. I was going to get rid of this blade and get a newer 5' blade for the Kubota, but I found that I can slant the blade pretty steeply for wet sticky snow and still clear the rear tires, so I'll keep this old blade for a while.
