KK Rear Blade

I was at my local TSC today looking for a rear blade for my Kubota 7500 before the snow starts to fall. Kubota recommends a 5' blade, I was thinking of the KK 6' blade for $200. Can you go wrong? It would be used to move snow. I believe the with of the tractor with R4's 58"". I would think with the tilt of the blade should cover the tires?? Would anyone have a recommendation. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

For snow I guess you will not go wrong for that price. I have one and it works well for the price.

But the quality is questionable. I had one weld peel off, and that affected the angle of the blade. I have a welder and easily repaired it.

There is a lot of utility in those cheap back blades in my opinion. I think I paid $169 for my six footer last year. I do not regret it at all.

I got the 7' KK for $185, also for snow, seems hard to go wrong for the price.

Looking at the 7ft. KK blades and can't decide between the light duty for $215 and the med. duty for $390. Anyone think it's worth the money to go with the med. duty? I'm leaning towards that, but I always overbuild everything I get my hands on.

Ray I agree with Henro. For the bucks you can't go wrong with the back blade. It will also come in handy for other chores over and above snow removal.

I didn't see the medium duty but if I was looking for something for dirt also I would probably have got the heavy duty. It looks pretty good and runs around $600. I believe the 7' HD weighs around 700# vs around 300# for the light duty.

I purchased the HD this year for $674 and it is about 700lbs... This is a very well built BB. So far, I've been very pleased using it for grating at grade level and angles. Will let you know how it does for the winter.

I also got a KK 6' blade last year. Works great for snow removal. I would have gone 7' but it wouldn't turn 360 degrees without hitting the tires. So I would've had to remove the blade to change blade direction. I went with the 6' instead and am glad i did.
