Rear Blade price on frontier rear blade

[roxynoodle]

I have the opportunity to buy a 5' Frontier rear blade for $300 (new). I think this is a good price for it, but thought I'd ask here for other opinions. I will be using it mainly for snow removal. It looks like it is easy to turn the blade around. 5 forward and 5 reverse settings.

I bought one from the dealer a year ago for $250, a 5' one.

The blade turns easily front or back. The manual mentions a tilt feature that's only possible by using the adjustable arm on one side of your 3 ph. You vary the pitch of the blade with the top link. I haven't used either of these yet, just the angle of the blade to sweep snow to the side or straight to go down the middle of the road. In lighter snows, just driving forward works okay.

Will a 5' cover your tire tracks when angled?? Not sure how wide your Yanny is??

It covers the tire tracks on my 4010. It's almost exactly 4' at the edges of the tires.

My Yannie is 40" wide. I think a 5 ft blade is the way to go and that a 4 ft would be too small when angled?

Yep, I'd say you are right on.
