Sizing advice for attachments

[MtnViewRanch]

I'll have to look into the Land Pride stuff after the holidays. I was trying to stay below $1000, but absolutely don't want buyers remorse down the road. Thanks for the input!

A quick story, 10 years ago my dealer at the time recommended a $1080 rear blade for me to use with my new tractor. It actually was a pretty good rear blade for a 40-50hp tractor. Not so much for a 75hp 10,000lb machine. Bent it THE first time I used it. Took pictures and sent them to the dealer. Dealer says that I abused it and would not even consider going back to the implement manufacturer. Wonder why? Wouldn't be because it NEVER should have been behind that size tractor, something that he never should have sold me. I used the blade for 2 more years and then after the blade was bent backwards and the moldboard curve was straightening out, I was able to step up to a blade that would take what the tractor is able to dish out and then some. But quality costs money and I would venture to say that if you purchase a new blade that costs $1000 or so, you very well may be sorry down the road.

Just my :2cents: for the day. Here's a picture of my rig as it is today at 12,000lbs.
