Heck. Post a picture of the twisted rear- blade too...... I bought a 6 foot rear blade with 360 rotation and offset this fall for $175 (NEW) I'll see how I make out with the cheap one
Later

I have not seen anyone mention a First Choice blade. Does anyone have one or seen one up close ? I am thinking of ordering one and was going to order the light duty until reading this thread.

I have a <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.midwestequipment.net/>Midwest </A> Aerator. If their rear blade is built anything like that, you won't be disappointed.

Midwest was a supplier to First Choice untill recently. They are on their own now.

I to wanted to buy a First Choice back blade and box scraper I called First Choice to get a list of their dealers and when I called the dealers in PA MD and Va the dealers never heard of First Choice........They all tried to sell me Woods,landpride,Bushhog etc.................
Good Luck in trying to get one

I called FC and got about ten different dealers in PA MD andVA
None of the dealers heard of First Choice so I rolled the dice and went the cheap route for the small tractor
Good Luck trying to get one

Same thing happened here when I called FC..........Everyone i called said "WHO?.......What?"
First Choice and Buy Smart, Inc. share the same phone number I think. Maybe I got a list of Buy Smart's dealers.

That's the same blade and width I have for my HN2120. I have used it a bit and have not hurt anything. Last year I was pushing back side snow banks in a customer's driveway. Caught a stump on the outer edge of the cutting edge. Spun the 2120 around like it was a Tonka toy and made some real nasty noise. I thought I must have really broke some thing. Got out and looked... nothing. I mostly got my blade to work in dirt (grading, leveling, ditching) Sometimes I think moving snow is harded on the equipment because you speed is a little faster that it would be if it were dirt.

Almost time for another get together? I may have missed the last one, been a very busy fall and winter holidays.
