Really nice scraper blade! I can't handle the $3K price tag, but I'm happy for you. That baby will definitely do the job.

Not to hijack the thread, but it seems more appropriate here than to start a new one.
I haven't seen mention of the (JD) Frontier RB 2309. I've got a line on a good deal on this blade. It would go on a MF 6290, 11K pounds and 130HP.
What are your opinions on this blade?

It only offsets and angles to one side without having to move the cylinders from side-side. In other words, you only get 50% use capability without moving cylinders from side to side.

The boom is very short, you only get 19" of offset capability and again you have to switch the cylinder from side -side to go left or right

If you actually plan on doing some grading, forget about it. :thumbdown:

Just my :2cents:
