I recently purchased a B2765A front blade for my B7610. It’s a 60 incher with power angle. I already have the quick hitch and front loader with the proper valve. Thus, all I needed was the B2765A. It cost me $1,400.00 out the door. Photo of the crate is attached.

Here’s how she hooks up.

I have used it just a little for leveling off some topsoil. It’s very aggressive going forwards and wants to dig deeper. It’s easier to control in reverse. I can see I will need to develop my technique.

My main reason for getting it is to use in the winter. I already have the front blower, but in many cases it’s overkill. This will work better for those ever so frequent 1-2 inch snowfalls.

So far I am very impressed with how super heavy duty this thing is. It’s a real tank.

Nice looking front blade. Looks heavy duty. Would be nice for leveling driveway, yard, etc., and many other uses. Is it a 4 way or 6 way blade? Enjoy your new blade!

Hi Curt,

You stumped me. What is 4 and 6 way mean?

Sorry about stumping you, a lot of things here stump me too /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Maybe I can explain this easily. A two way would only go up and down. A four way would only go up/down and angle...angle to backfill, etc.. A six way would adjust up/down, angle and tilt. Tilt side to side to cut ditches, etc..
I thought your blade may be a four way by looking at the pictures, but I could not tell. By the way, nice pictures. They are very good. I bought a L3130, but now kind of wish I had bought a B7610. Nice setup you have.

Nice blade! I wish I could keep my B7610 looking as cleaned and shined as yours. Great pics!
