Took me several years to find a heavy duty enough grader blade...ended up getting a Dirt Dog brand 70 series blade....It cost a lot, but it has been well worth the money for the Heavy Built Properties of the blade...... I Still have the regular size grader blade's also. because the dirt dog is almost too heavy for just general driveway resurfacing...one slip up with the three point control and you will get a good start on building that road to china it's so heavy lol
Hey I was just thinking about you the other day! I hope your crops are doing well, it’s been extremely dry here and I doubt it’s been much different in your direction. A good heavy blade makes a big difference on dirt work! Appreciate you watching!
Great video Ben! Super informative and very helpful for those of us undertaking road building (I'm one of the guys that wrote to Ben this week). Double thumbs up!
That first blade looks really well built! I guess you get what you pay for. Lol, that cat wanted to be the star of the show. My father-in-law had one just like the last one, it worked well. Great information
Yes the Cat was trying to steal the show for sure! The last blade is a Lienbach brand blade I believe, it has been used a lot! Appreciate you watching!
Great Video It really helped a newbie to tractors like me I got a box blade but looking for something to drag snow I will take your advice You explained everything very well !
Box blades do work for snow. I live in Michigan and have moved alot of snow with my box blade kinda works like a snow pusher. You can move a good amount but you can't windrow it off to the side like a rear blade. Before you spend the money on a blade just try your box blade see if you like it. You already own it so you are not out anything.
How's she goin'? Nice video!! Lots of great info and if you are looking for a rear blade, this answers and explains a lot of the features of each type of blade. Thanks for sharing and take care!!!
💥 Terrific job explaining the uses. I have a dirt driveway project coming up where I’ll be using a back blade to shape it up and get the crown back. Great video! *Keep on tractoring!*
Good evening mon ami 👍😉 Great explanation on your blades, but your nice Dodge Truck steal the show behind you 😇👍The Cat is very good actor 😉👍 Great tractor barn Sir and very well built too 💪👍😉Have a great week Mon Ami Cheers 😉👍🍻 IF SOMEONE DO NOT LIKE YOUR VIDEO I WILL HAVE A WORD WITH HIM 😉👍
I really appreciate the back up incase of a 👎, I know you would take care of them! Yes Zoey thinks she is famous now and try’s to be in all the video’s. I need to explain my tractor barn one day about how it’s built. Thanks for watching and take care!
Must be a good cat if you keep her around! I like that heavy blade you use on the 6060, Its tough to fund them built like that. Ive seen a lot of the rear blades from the box stores but don't think those ones would hold up to much. A lot of good valuable information in this video here. Ideally would be nice to just have one of everything like you do! Box blade and york rake are what i use on our parking area which is due for maintenance. Land plane would be really nice, but for now i just use what i got.
They all have their place! The main thing is get something strong enough to hold up. The TSC and Rural King angle blades I’ve seen just aren’t built good. Yes one of everything is nice but not always feasible. We’ve collected these over about a 20 year time frame. Appreciate you watching!
Great video, Brother! I just scored a 7' articulating with hydraulic and offset... for $800! I couldn't believe it! I priced one out without shipping in the Midwest to Reno shipping... $5700...still in shock and waiting to pick it up tomorrow morning.
nice presentation..i have a plain ole scraper blade as i call them and i have an angle and tilt blade ..i havent used it very much but ive got a hydraulic grader blade that goes behind the tractor .if i remember right i traded an old 85 chevrolet 4x4 for it some time ago .its great for working on a driveway that about it tho ..also i got a massey ferguson 245 now in my collection.
Thank you very much iv been looking at back blades and was never sure what the offset function was, after see this video I think I'm going spend the money and get one with the offset should work good for pushing back the snowbanks I would think!
I’m glad this helped! The offset isn’t something that gets used a lot but it’s sure nice to have that option available when you do need it! Appreciate you watching!
I have found the offset function of the blade also works good for plucking out rocks or stumps. Tilt one corner down offset it so the corner is behind the rear tire then angle the corner towards the tractor. Helps put most of the pulling right behind the tractor. Need a heavy blade tho and not huge rocks or stumps just use your head.
yea, for sure... i have been waiting 5 years to buy a scraper blade for my tractor because i was holding out for one with the tilt blade. I still haven't found one for sale locally (my dad has one that i could barrow). i ended up getting a old free 6' blade without the tilt, but every time i use it, i still wish that it would also tilt.... oh well, the price was right and and it still moves dirt
Kubota bought out Land Pride a few years ago, it was a good decision on there part. I think some of the Frontier branded implements John Deere has is actually rebadged Land Pride implements. Appreciate you watching!
Nice explanation of the blades Ben,as you know I have the 8 foot version of that Heavy blade, haven’t used it yet but getting ready to. I use the box blade most of the time but that’s because that’s the only one I’ve had to choose from lol.
I know this is old now, but I hope you see this comment. Can you tell me what brand that heavy rear blade is? I'm looking at a used one online that seems to be that same model, but the owner doesn't know anything about it. Really helpful video. thanks for taking the time to make it.
I’ll probably keep it, still find a use for it occasionally. I’ve moved hundreds of tons of dirt with that thing before getting a loader. Thanks for watching
Im a first time owner of a bx2380. I have a question, i have a 3/4 mile long flat gravel driveway. I need to select an implement to fix washboarding in the driveway caused by the kids go-karts, atv's, etc. The drive is highest in the middle, tracked on either side(where washboarding is) and a lil high on the shoulders. My bx has a FEL with bolt on edge. Tried using the fel but ended up hand raking most of it. Land plane,box blade, or scraper blade? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have a similar blade but priefert brand but the angle “ditch angle” swivel is stuck it will accept grease but even with pin out it won’t articulate any advice how to free up so I can cut crowns and ditches ? I’ve tried using a jack but just lifts the arms on tractor … thanks
Best explanation of rear blade on UA-cam. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
The cat is a big help in the videos LOL. Let’s see more subscribers!
She makes a good assistant! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Three point attachments are a thing of beauty.
Yes they really are! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking the time to explain what blades you have and recommendations!!
Appreciate you taking time to watch! Have a great day!
Great explanations of those tools! Thank you.
Appreciate you watching!

Great video. Lotta good information.
When I go to get a rear blade I’ll make sure I get one that articulates in more than one direction
It good have one that had multiple settings for sure! Thank you!
Great video Ben! Super informative and very helpful for those of us undertaking road building (I'm one of the guys that wrote to Ben this week). Double thumbs up!

thanks for taking the time to explain. Always a pleasure to see your videos. Take care.
Really appreciate you watching them! I hope this video maybe helpful to people interested in purchasing a new blade!
Good video, I have an older John Deere blade, with a hydraulic cylinder that can be moved to either side, works really well🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
I bet that does work good! Thanks for watching!
Great Video

I have tore a scrape blade up several times turning it around backwards and using it like a bulldozer pushing brush and small trees over. It does work
Yes pushing backwards is where I’ve damaged them the most as well! Appreciate you watching!
Great video, Brother! I just scored a 7' articulating with hydraulic and offset... for $800! I couldn't believe it! I priced one out without shipping in the Midwest to Reno shipping... $5700...still in shock and waiting to pick it up tomorrow morning.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!
The cat makes the video! Very helpful advice, thanks.
Really appreciate you watching!
that cat os awsome...great video very informative
She was a great cat! She went missing this winter and I miss her. Thanks!!

Great to hear! I always wanted a hydraulic rear blade myself. Hope the 245 serves you well!
Thanks! I'm hoping to buy my first tractor soon and this was helpful.
Good luck!

427 just picked up smaller 6foot blade similar to yours here. Hope it grades ditches well with b21.
I hope so! Thanks for watching

One regret I have with my blade is I don’t have the tilt functionality 🤷🏼♂️. Thanks for this review Ben 👍🏻🙂🙋🏼♂️
The tilt is very nice to have! Appreciate you watching!

Really helpful video. thanks for taking the time to make it.
The only branding I see says CHE on it. We bought it in Bristol near the racetrack several years ago. Thanks
@@khtractors Thanks for the reply.
helped me thanks!
Glad it helped!
In the beginning of your video there is a blue 3-point bucket. I’ve been looking for a used one. Thinking about selling it?
I’ll probably keep it, still find a use for it occasionally. I’ve moved hundreds of tons of dirt with that thing before getting a loader. Thanks for watching

In your situation probably a box blade or land plane. On driveways I use a box blade 85% of the time.
Thanks for the reply. Much obliged. If I can get a day off I'll go look at box blades. Thanks again from Kentucky
I have a similar blade but priefert brand but the angle “ditch angle” swivel is stuck it will accept grease but even with pin out it won’t articulate any advice how to free up so I can cut crowns and ditches ? I’ve tried using a jack but just lifts the arms on tractor … thanks
I have no idea unless the swivel pin is a bolt and maybe too tight. If not something must be bent. Thanks for watching!
2nd blade must be a CAT1 3pt set up lol.
They all are.
