If anyone is looking for a project blade? I have one available. Check out the TBN classifieds or email me at dirtworksequip@aol.com. I'd like to see someone here put this to good use on a custom blade project. Loader mounted or other project. Then they could post their pics and build here on TBN.

Sincerely Dirt

Would love to adapt that to the front of my tractor. But, you are quite some distance from Taxconsin.

Are those air cylinders or hydraulic? (I don't see a puddle)

John Bud the cylinders are hydraulic. WI really in't too far to go. I bought the blade in IL and then drove up to visit a friend in Madison WI. If you are willing to pay the mileage for delivery, I'd drop it at your door. I think the angle cylinders themselves sell for around $390 each if I'm not mistaken.

KenneyD, you are definately not too far away. Only about 278 miles. I'd drop it at your door for $400.00 if you think you have some use for it.

Sincerely, Dirt

Would you be willing to ship it by way of Yellow Freight?

GIZMO, sure I'll do whatever you need. I can put it on a pallet if that would work with Yellow. Not sure where the closest Yellow Terminal is located though. I can check......you may be able to ship fairly cheap that way. Let me know what you decide.

Sincerely, Dirt

Any freight company would work. Can you check it out?

Gizmo, is there a FedX Freight Terminal near you? I've shipped large items thru them. I can drop it off at a nearby terminal and then you can pick it up at the nearest termnal and save the $50.00 residential delivery charge. Find out what terminal is close to you and I can get you and exact shipping quote early next week.

sincerely, Dirt

For what it is worth I had a plow shipped from NC to NH using Fed-x freight and it was around 600 pounds and the cost was under $370. I picked it up at the terminal. Only problem is they do not have a drive out so had to drop it into the bed of my truck (new truck) and I was a bit sick watching them slide it off from the dock into the truck bed below.

WayneB, $200.00 for the blade and .80 per loaded mile if I deliver. As far as trucking it with FedX,I'm figuring it may come under the minimun which used to be $130.00 I'm sure that has gone up since the last time I shipped anything though.

Sincerely,Dirt

Shipping just gets more expensive all the time...............that's why I try and pick up what ever I can by myself and sometimes shouldn't push the limits so far.
Here's 990 lbs. of CAT trencher attactment in a VW Passat tdi wagen. The rest of it is on the roof rack.

Wow, if that is for the plow in the picture that is a great price. Darn I just purchased a L2072 Kubota plow or I would be serious about what you have. Sure someone will jump on it.

You do seem to use your vehicles to the max! I picked up our new pickup truck on a Friday, then on Saturday I picked up 3 ton of cow dung in our dump trailer and got the rig stuck in a field up to the axles. We had 55 miles on the vehicle at that time. Not a pretty situation.

After many years of marriage my wife seems to understand my actions.

1*If I was getting a new Pick up itwould have a dump bed.
2* She probably don't understand any more than she ever did.
She has probably just gotten hardened to it

:D

I hear you, but it's HER truck!
And as I make small mistakes, break things, well I just buy new parts and replace the bad ones.


No she understands and lives with it, rather nicely!

Gee Dirt, i just spent $3k for the same plow and Front 3PT Hitch about a month ago and I would have definitely purchased that from you and paid for the shipping - at that price, it would be more than worth it!

Alright, let's get the bidding started...

Dirt, are you the same Dirtworks Equipment that makes the grapple claw?
