6\' scraper blade cheap...maybe a pulverizer too...
Local landscaping supply company had it sitting near the mulch bin rusting. I asked about it, and the owner called me to see how much I'd give him. We agreed on $100. It's got some rust, the pins are bent and need to be replaced, and it needs the bolts that lock it into a certain angle, but it looks to be quite heavy-duty (he says it's an old Rhino brand). I haven't picked it up yet...have dirt on the trailer, but I'll try to go get it later this week.
I think this is a good deal...thoughts? I see that some of the lighter duty blades are $200-250, so I'm thinking this is probably a pretty good deal. Cheap, which is in line with it's expected occasional use leveling some areas after fresh dirt and scraping the occasional snow that we have. It looks pretty heavy, so it might make quite good ballast for FEL work, unless it's physical size gets in the way.
This place also has a 6' pulverizer lying there (or at least I think that's what it's called). Looks kind of like a box blade with a roller with spikes attached to the back. I might be able to talk him out of both for a little more (he doesn't seem to have any 3pt tractors around anymore). How useful would this pulverizer be? Would it cover the occasion need for a box blade? Thoughts?
Thx,
Dave
