Grading Rear Blade for my L3130 HSt - ?

[penokee]

Sold my baby (Fergie TO-20), so looking to get a Rear Blade. Comments on brands, size, etc. appreciated. Plan to use it primarily for grading gravel roads. Have a Box Blade, but need something to reshape the crown. Have used my AC H3 crawler in the past (back blading), but it's a pain to move for this minor work (move about 4 miles).

Penokee , I have a woods HBL 84-2 on mine . It has enough Heft to really dig in when needed (560 lbs ) . in additon to angle and tilt , It has the offset feature which comes in handy a few things . I also got the end plates . They are handy for moving gravel without it spllling from the sides of the blade . John

Thanks Nixon - I'm going to to do some research on it. Are the end plates removable?

Penokee . Yes, each end plate is held on with two bolts .
BTW ... If You bend one , they are only sold as a pair and aren't interchangeable fron side to side . They cost about 80 bucks for the pair . Mind you, they are fairly rugged , but don't like being hooked on an unseen stump /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
BTW , I'm sort of surprised You didn't get more responses ! John
