Rear Blade Landpride or other make? 3 way hydraulic control blade

[ArlyA]

We are considering the RBT35 three way hydraulic actuated back blade for leveling, moving dirt. Are there other brands we should consider?? Like to hear back from users. We'd use the 7ft version with a 4052 JD.

Thanks!

For the most part, all of the manufacturers of the rear blades with the 3 hydraulic capabilities (angle, offset and blade tilt) are pretty much the same. Yes there are small differences and yes some adjust a little further than others, but for the most part they are the same product, and all about the same quality.

If you want a deal on one, then you have to really keep an eye out on all the different sites that sell them used. Otherwise you need to shop the new stuff and make a decision. I think that I said this before, but there have been TBNers that have gotten these types of blades used in GREAT shape for less than half of what they cost new. Just have to be both patient and ready.

I personally went with Land Pride because no one else's units adjusted as far, but that was 9 years ago and things may have changed since then.

Good luck with your decision. :thumbsup:
