Rear blade recommendation for 45hp 4WD tractor

[gladehound]

Thanks for all of the info provided. I have just purchased a 50 hp Bobcat tractor and was thinking about upgrading by blade. Only thing I need is hydro angle.

So far I think this blade is about a perfect match for this size tractor. However I was surprised how high a 17.5 inch mold board actually looks on a rear blade. It puts the 3pt linkage high with the implement level and limits how high u can lift it off the ground. With the next smaller frame lift height might be a problem. I think our tractors share a frame so it should fit the same in terms of lift height.
