Bang for the buck, I would say King Kutter wins. Should work fine with your 2305. However, if you have the extra cash all three are comparable. Just see which one you get the best deal on.

Duhhhh My Fords betteren your chevy any day. There is no answer. Some make several grades of equipment. Land Pride for sure does. Light duty, med duty, heavy duty. So what the heck do you intend to do? That effects the answer. You are probably never gonna break a heavy duty Land Pride. But you gonna pay for it. Then again a cheap whatever might meet your needs. But my experience is that the cheap stuff is just that. But then again I sometimes buy cheap understanding that it is going to be throw away. I have a Land Pried med duty 60 in. I dont think I could break it if I tried.

Midwest Equipment makes the best modest cost blade, I think they are a far better value, and typically have more features than some of the so-called premium brands. The adjustment pins are big enough to change the blade's tilt, swivel or offset without taking your gloves off. The pivot points are very strong. The cutting edge can be replaced. The A frame assembly is very strong and probably next to impossible to bend. JMO.

I purchased a Frontier with my new tractor. It seemed light and I found it was not rated for use with my Deere so I took it back for a refund. I found a medium duty Land Pride that was much cheaper than the comparable Frontier. The Land Pride is great and I am very happy with it.

Frontier blades are made by other companies, and which company changes from time to time. I have a Frontier RB2184 that is very well made. I'm not sure who made it but it seems comparable in quality to Woods. If you can inspect before buying Frontier may be good - or not; my local dealer had two 2184's in stock and gave me the much nicer one, as the other one was clearly made to lower quality, and was not even the exact same design even though it had the same model #.

For quality Woods or Landpride are top bets. For price, King Kutter. If you can find Midwest Equipment, it looks good.

I have a KK 60" for sale on ebay right now. It worked great on my little B7100 Kubota but will not cover my track on the JD770. I feel it is heavy enough for the smaller tractors but I get the impression I can hurt it with the JD with FEL and filled tires. I could be wrong though.

I just did get a 7' KingKutter Professional series. It has a slider mold board that caught my eye. I wanted to be able to kick dirt out to one side and this lets me do that. It was about $650. It's pretty heavy duty, about middle of the pack, I mean I'm sure there's heavy and more spendy units made, but I have mostly sand and it does fine for me. bjr
