Box Scraper Northern Industrial (Northern Tool) Quality?

[Canada_CT230]

Looking at a Northern Industrial 5' box blade. They are $499. In my price range and from the reviews on the website a decent piece. Anyone with actual experience?

I would love to buy the Bobcat box blade w/ hyd teeth but at $1100 is not in my range.

I have an older blade of that design and it works fine. Northern also lists a USA King Kutter for only $40 more. Probably well worth the extra 8%.

has anyone compared the KK to the NT blades (and other implements) to compare quality? The last time I was at NT they did not have many implements in stock.

The shipping weight on the NT blade is 444 vs 415 for the KK for what its worth

One of the guys at my Hunting club bought the 3pt spreader, it works great, and was much less than some of the local stuff. I have purchased many tools, and other things from them, with no complaints. if you sign up for their "hotline program you will get free shipping on your first hotline order, which is a big deal on any truck freight implement.
