Just some pics of my Frontier RB2072

[BloomingtonMike]

Bought a new rear blade. Frotier 72" RB2072 - paid $450 OTD locally. I brought it into the shop before the storms today and gave it a good cleanup and touch up before I begin scraping it up on the upcoming new gravel. Thought I would share some pics.

Good pics, and they show the bushings used for the iMatch too.

Thanks. These quick hitch bushings are from Farm and Fleet - the $13 ones. No need for a top pin as it is welded in by Frontier. I like the aftermarket QH bushings - much cheaper.

I just priced an RB2060 today for $629. Where did you get yours?

I bought my RB2072 from Martin Brothers here in Bloomington IL. The 1st quote was $550. I told them I was looking to order it from a dealer other than Cross Implement (bought my 3320 from Cross) because Cross was not returning my price quote calls on the blade. He asked why I bought the 3320 from them and I said because the 3320 was 6K higher here at his store (Martin Brothers). He did some calculator work and said $450 for the blade (he said he had several - they own 6 stores). I said that sounded good but had to check with the wife. The next day I came in after work and paid for it.

When they delivered the blade thet were complaining that $470 was their price and I only paid $450. I told them I had gotten my info from online (tbn is a very bad place) and that I had been looking into a Midwest blade but did not want to drive to pick it up in southern IL (I do not own a trailer is why - not distance).

Maybe their dealer price really was $470??? I thought he was giving me crap. The blade is super nice. Tell your dealer to at least get to $550 for the RB2072 - cheaper for the RB2060 I would think.

Oh well - hope I can get a deal from them on a BoxBlade and a Tiller.

Never did I think a bunch of steel painted green would be so sexy.

Can you offer more details on the quick hitch bushings. I am not all that savvy, and got far too many hits for "farm and fleet" on google.
But I definately want some of those!
Thanks.

I second the request for more info on those bushings....

Hey guys. These bushings are nothing more than a $23 set of Cat1 Quick Hitch Bushings sold locally here by Farm and Fleet and Tractor Supply company. They have an internal bushing and (cat1-2) and then a the cat3 bushing (as seen in the pictures).

John Deere also sells an accessory kitthat has the same busings and a top link set of busings for about $32.

What more info do you need and I will get it for you.

Do they sell over the internet? I can get the JD ones from my dealer. But $13 is better that $30
