My wife story: When I upgraded the tractor from a JD4300 to a JD 4520. I was using the rear blade fairly hard... The all of a sudden it wasn't pulling hard . Broke the blade right off the carrier. (memo: JD 4520,4720 are hp cat 2 not cat 1 ,but hardware is cat 1)
I was going over how to repair the blade when wife says " we don't have time for that, just go buy one." OK! gor bids from three dealers, bought best value. Arrived home with new hydraulic control cat1-2 blade (Landpride 4084) " When I said 'just go buy one' I didn't know you were thinking that!" The fact that I texted her the prices was ignored...
But, now that we have it, and how easy it is to use, she loves it. I am going to repair the original blade for use with her jd 2305 with grading wheels for her horse area.
