Rear Blade New Road Boss grader!

[Wild and Free]

Just brought home my new 7' utility model Road boss grader. Now to wait until it thaws out here to give it a try. One of the USA based manufacturers for them is only 30 miles from my house. Ordered it directly through them and picked it up directly yesterday for a heck of a deal. I ordered it with the skid steer attachment for ease of moving it around with my tractor and if someone wants to use it who has a skid steer. $1850 for grader, $300 for skid steer attachment plus tax.

Ha Ha not sure why the thumb nail pics are upside down but they appear correct when opening them to view the larger size. My dogs even had to check out the new toy.

Congrats on the new investment. My father has one and they're nice. I was too cheap and just built one. They're sure nice to have around.

Re: New Roadboss grader!

Is it one of these? Is it a 3pt unit but you bought a adapter that goes SSQA to 3pt? Yes, we need pictures!

Thats the unit. Yes It is three point and the skid steer quick attachment just pins to the top of the unit.

You spent a lot of time upside down taking the pictures, I hope you did not end up with a headache, one of the moderators will fix it for you if you ask them to.

Congrats ! Those are nice units. I like the serrated cutting edge on those.

A fine looking unit. I bet you will find the serrated blade is going to be a big help. Exactly what is needed to scarify potholes as a first step in repair.

I like the weight- I bought a 7' land pride over a 7' bush hog brand because it weighed 200 lbs more. It does a great job.

So why are you waiting for spring? Surely you have some snow that needs leveling/moving around!

....and having the SSQA mounted on it will add more weight.

Very cool. I’m in the market for one. I need a 7 footer for my 70 horse tractor. I am deciding between this Road Boss and another company. With a little more options the other company is close to 1600 pounds... I need the weight.

Nice looking land plane. I also am too "frugal" to spend money on something I can build. That one has the same blades as I put on mine. They were quite reasonable at $125 each. I put a hydraulic controlled blade on the rear to carry, distribute, or let material flow without having to lift the whole implement. Driveway maintenence time is coming soon, snow is gone, driveway is drying nicely.

Just got to use it for the first time today. Did an excellent job on the gravel road in front of my house where it was mostly dry. It cut the wash boards out and filled and leveled the ruts beautifully. If the dirt / gravel was moist or wet it balled things up and made a bit of a mess I had to feather out a couple spots the best I could. Took me a few passes to get the hang of things. One definitely needs to raise or remove the front serrated edge if getting into any top soil or edge of road with grass ect. it pulls this material up and plugs the unit real quick. The directions said this would happen and they were right. I will let things dry a bit more and then remove the front serrated edge to pull the good gravel along the edge of the road that naturally ends up on the edge in the grass and to cut the sod down before summer to get a bit more crown built up. All in all I like it a lot. This 7 foot utility model seems to be a perfect match for my 49 hp tractor as well. Just the right size for the road and and driveway.

That is a really nice setup.. I like the way it stands proud on both sides of the tractor. An 8 footer is on my wish list.

Thanks WCdad! An 8' Roadboss gets you into the commercial line and they get a lot bigger and heavier yet. 7' is the largest of the utility models is what I have.
