Everything Attachments 5' Value Scrape Blade for Compact Tractors with 25-50 HP
That back blade has nice features. Tilt is almost a must. For ditch work it's a necessity. Easy offset is sweet to have. My neighbor has a 7' slider/tilt blade I barrow. Uses 2 nuts to lock everything in place. I used it to clean out 500' of diversion ditch down my yard. It had 10 years of fill and erosion. The infinite adjustment the slider has, allowed me to get just right amount of tilt and offset. This let my tires ride the flatest track for best results. Or tuck the blade just behind my tire to gradually increase depth of ditch. Pin adjustment looks quick and easy but with only 0°, 15° and 30° tilt settings it's going to take alot of turn buckle to get the right amount of tilt. Be nice if it offered tilt in 5° increments. A 7' blade was combersum on my GC2600 but usable. Maybe consider a 6' blade.
Setting the slider model is quick. Loosen two nuts with socket. Slide blade with short chain. Set tilt. Tighten nuts. No turn buckle adjustments needed.
I used a few blades and unless your top link is at a perfect length every time you change the pitch of your blade the tilt angle will need to be adjusted to keep blade level. I had to shorten my top link for that extra ground cleance.
