I really appreciate all the input ya'll have given me... it has helped alot. One thing I did find out is that proper size of an implement is one thing that is very important during purchase. My blade is 5 ft... my rear tires are 5 ft outside to outside, SO... when you pivot the blade to an angle to do the edge of a road, you cannot get it all the way to the edge, because then my tractor would turn over in the ditch ( DEEP ditch ) because the wheels would be off the road. Wished I'd gotten a 6 or 7 foot wide. I picked up a Speedco quick connect and found that it made my life a tad easier too.
