Bigger would be better

[sixgun]

This year is the first that I have used the front ihydraulic blade to move snow and it has been, without a doubt, easier than the back blade and loader combo. I have a ton of room to store snow so the need for a loader for making space doesn't exist. We just had an 18" storm and the 60" blade was just the right size to keep the tractor moving forward with the blade straight.

With that experience I am sure that my tractor could handle a longer (72" or even 84") blade for the regular storms around here. I've done a bit of searching and can't seem to find any "spare" longer Kubota blades for sale out there. Therefore, i am currently sad - but i will keep looking. Anybody had any luck with adding temporary length to a blade? Lots of bending stress at the attachment point, so i imagine it would be a challenge.

Alternatively, perhaps those of you that can bend spoons with your minds have developed that skill into stretching metal???

Adding 6 inches to each end would be pretty trivial for a sheet metal shop. They have the tools to curve it as well as put the 90 degree bends in the edges for strength. I bet if you call around a bit, you could find someone that would do it for a couple hundred or so. Another blade is going to cost you at least $1000.
