Rear Blade First Choice Rear Blade

[Luvbigboytoys]

Called the local First Choice implement dealer Friday to get a price and order a rear blade (RB 22-60). He told me it would probably take about 2 weeks to get it. The dealer called me back in about 5 minutes and told me I could pick it up Monday. So, yesterday I got my new orange blade. Sure is nice to have the dealer and the manufacturer in the same town.

Nice blade. For the price it is hard to believe that it can tilt and offset as well as pivot.
My neighbor looked at it and was disgusted that he paid more for a generic blade that is lighter and does not tilt or offset.

Now I have the First Choice RFM, Box Blade and Rear Blade. I guess a rake is in my future.

Can you post a picture that shows the tilt and pivot clearly?

Sorry I'm digitally deficient. Maybe Jim at First Choice can show how the blade works.

I like the looks of that offset capability. Will be getting a rear blade next year (implement budget blown for this year), so have started to look around. Be nice for pushing banks back or cutting ditches without have to put the tractor right into it. Have you used the offset? Be interested if you did and how well it worked.

That does look like a nice blade! Do you mind telling what the cost was? Also, does anyone know the cost of the series 40 (Heavy Duty) blade? Thanks in advance
