I have an 8' western pro blade on my L4400 and it works great. Just mounted it to a quick-tach plate for the loader. I have about 500 lbs of weight on the 3-point and loaded rear tires with chains and can plow just about anything. With the plow on the loader I am able to pile snow 10 to 12 feet high. Growing up on a farm all we had was a tractor with a 3-point blade and this is so much better!

I don't like that style of blade, I have one similar to it. When you start pushing snow a with a blade that requires you to use float on the loader it takes weight of the front and it will push the tractor sideways. It is also a alot of weight riding on the skid shoes, you have the weight of the blade and the loader riding on them. They will tear up gravel bad. I recommend a blade that floats at the quick attach to avoid these problems.

Just a little more info. I welded ears on the quick-tach plate to attach the blade so the blade floats independent of the loader just as it would on a truck mount. For the hydraulics I ran hoses from my rear remotes for the blade so I still have full use of the loader for adjusting angle of attack if needed for hard packed snow.
