How much is this scrape blade worth?

[ovrszd]

I would say no more that 150. I just sold a 6 foot blade that offset, tilted and angled for 250.

If your pictured blade is worth 250, the Massey blade is worth 400. No comparison in the strength of them.

The Massey blade only angles, no offset or tilt. It would take a 60+ HP tractor to tear it up. Very strong blade. If you could buy one that well built today, which I doubt you can, it would cost $600+.

You buy that blade for $200 and it'll be the best attachment bargain you'll ever buy. Wish it was close to Missouri, you wouldn't get it for $200 then!!!

I have to go with ovrszd. It looks like a heavy piece of equipment. For 250$ obo, I wouldn't miss that (if my tractor could handle it, which is probably not the case)

Thanks for all the opinions...it's obvious that there is a difference between worth and value both intrinsically and by merit...I do appreciate all the appraisals...

It is a 6' blade, the cutting plate is in good condition and has not been reversed (so can be made like new)...

The seller said he cut part of the handle off the top link because it hit his tractor when lifted...?? think the "crank handle" was used to adjust the forward-backward tilt...same as adjustable top link ??
If the logistics of transporting/storing the blade can be worked out with my nephew I am going to see if he will take $200...
-----------
on a related note...I am going to be putting top & tilt on my hitch...any comments on how that will work with this blade?

I got this 7' blade for $200. I had to take a slight bend out of it and then reinforced, primed and painted. One of the better $'s spent

Before- but rust cleaned up


After

My Brother has a Rhino blade that's a step heavier than the one you are looking at, angles and tilts, and it only has a 6 foot moldboard. It's even category II. It was a LOAD on my Kubota B2910!!!

I'm not sure why manufacturers build them that way. The chassis would allow a 60+ hp tractor but the moldboard is too short for a very big tractor. For example my Brother doesn't own a tractor small enough that his blade will cover the tracks. It's a decent fit on my L4400 but still a little short.

I keep trying to get him to sell it to me. I'm the only person that ever uses it. But he says just use it when you need to. Not sure whether to be aggravated at him or hug him.

There is one (6ft MF) just like near 56623 Northern Mn (Emo, On) with a new cutting edge if anyone is interested.

There's a lot more metal in the one the OP is looking at than the one you sold. The new one referenced above wouldn't make it one pass down my field road without needing a trip to the scrapheap it is so light duty. I would take blade in the picture over any of the new light duty blades out there. Who cares what it looks like. I care how it works.

Bought this one for 225. Tilts and offsets. Tag on it says Ford, but since the turntable looks like a current Landpride, I would say they made it.
