I’m pretty sure DD manufactures the blades for RHINO. Good stuff.

I just purchased my first tractor Yanmar 325. It blows me away that no one makes a 6’ blade with hydraulic angle. They are putting rear hydraulics standard on small tractor now but NO ONE makes a 6’ rear blade in the 300lb range with a hydraulic angle. Blows me away.

I agree it’s a little crazy no one makes it. Although to be honest a lot of people balk at the price of a good quality manual one let alone full hydraulic.

I understand the left right angles what does it do in the straight setting?

[@prequipmentsales]

More or less acts as a box blade and will level. However, it’s not quite as user-friendly as a box blade or better yet a grader scraper. These have there place but they’re not the best tool for grading driveways.

@@prequipmentsales okay that’s why I’m struggling to get my gravel driveway to look nice. Should I let the blade float on an angle of 45 degrees or lock it ? Also should I angle it lower in one corner? Appreciate any help I made a mess of a 600 foot driveway.🥲

@@intensivemanagement not sure which brand you have but if there’s end plates available they’d probably be worth it. More or less would make it a box blade. Otherwise go slow and feather the height. Might help to turn the 3pt speed knob in to slow the reaction time down. Might help prevent some gouges. Personally, though I’d start saving up for a grader scraper. They’re a lifesaver on the driveway.
