Rear Blade Recommendations For Rear Blade on Subcompact tractor

David,
How much blade you can handle really depends on your individual conditions. In your first post you mentioned "steep in places" I would submit that this will limit your ability to handle an aggressive blade. I missed that in my first post, revisiting your post and needs a lighter 5' blade would be the largest I recommend. I would also add that you will need to be able to use the blade while traveling uphill since you need to be able to put the material back to its original place.

My 5' blade I bought and used on my 4010 has all those features; I believe. It's a Frontier. Very light weight and cheap: $250.

Ralph,
Which model? What does it cost today?

A woods RB60 has all the features you are looking for. You can spin it 180 degrees and it should not hit the tires

On my SCUT, the 5 ft blade worked fine for snow even with turf tires. I wasn't impressed with my skills at grading gravel with it, however. That is, in the spring when straightening out the mess of winter, the blade just didn't seem to perform up to my expectations. And yes, as another mentioned, the Rhino mold board has to be unbolted to get an offset. As to weight, I still say that the heavier the better and that the SCUT is perfectly capable of handling the heavier 5 foot blades. Maybe one of those grader scrapers would be a better choice in your case. Ain't tractor talk fun.

I'd recommend the 5' and one with good weight as well to be able to carry a good load. To just need it to keep the driveway in good shape I'd look at land pride driveway maintainer.

I think the a 5' EA value blade would be the best for you.

Some blades like a woods RB60 offset but you have to unbolt the blade and move it to a different set of bolt holes which would be a pain.
