Landpride boxblade

[Piston]

And now I'm probably going to by a LP rear angle blade with hydraulic angle although I won't have as much use for it after a couple years. I considered buying a EA blade, but based on my experience with their rake I am willing to pay more to have a better quality.

I know what you mean about "lesser" quality. You get what you pay for, it's as simple as that. Regarding the rear blade, I've only used my rear blade a handful of times since I bought it last fall, but I'm extremely happy with it. I bought a Landpride RBT 4096 with 2 out of the 3 angle functions hydraulic. Then I bought a cylinder and hoses from Brian for the offset feature and it's quite a nice setup now. I didn't think my tractor would be a great match for the 4096 but it actually handles it just fine.

Too bad your not closer, there is a almost brand new RBT3584 on CL right now near me for a pretty good price. You'll definitely be disappointed if you settle for the EA blade vs. the heavy duty Landpride blade, especially now that you see how nice it is to use a good quality box blade.

That is the blade I am considering but in the 84 incher although I may opt only to go with angle as I only have 3 rear remotes.

I am not dissing EA as they are going after a different pricepoint and building time is money so they are always looking to go fast. And I am happy with my EA grapple and have done a lot of work with it. A great value.

I have to ask, how much are they asking for the RBT3584? :drool:


BGigHarbor, the RBT3584 is all you need if you only want an 84" blade. No need for the 40 series, the 35 series is plenty strong enough for your tractor IMO.

Thanks for the advice. I wish I was closer to check out that 3584.

I'll see if I can find it again, and PM you so we don't take up too much room in this thread.

I think it was around $1300 and looked absolutely brand new. It didn't have any hydraulics though, but I know a guy who might be able to get you a cylinder or two...

I actually thought of you when I found it but shipping would kill you.

If yout looking at the 35 series looks at the woods/gannons I ordered a heavier built gannon 88HSD for less money than I was quoted for the land pride HR3584 the gannon 84 hsd weighs about 160 lbs more than the land pride at 1280 lbs

HSD also has replaceable side plates that bolt on.

Ends up that RBT3584 is not an RBT, just an RB3584. You DO NOT want an RB blade. You need an RBT35 or 40 series. 35 series is all that would be needed for your tractor. They are rated for a GVW of 9500lbs.
