I've got two blades I'll be looking at this weekend.
One's a 7' Woods, the other's a 7' Bush Hog.

From what I've found, seems they'll both do the job
( clearing snow & 500' driveway maintenance

Without starting any wars, does anyone have opinions either way with these ?

The BH is nearly new, asking $575, the Woods is new, an RB74 asking $495


Thanks for tour input...

I've got a Woods RB84 7'er that I use to clean snow from my driveway. It's about 1800' x 12', and paved. I've used the Woods blade for 3 years now. It is on a 60 HP, 6400 lb tractor. There has been NO problems with it. I have hit a few buried obstructions, such as a concrete curb, and not bent anything. Bush Hog makes a quality product, but I know little about their blades. I DO however, know for certain that the Woods blade is well worth the money.

Either blade would do a fine job. I have owned equipment from both manufacturers and either one does well. If they have equal features such as ease of angle and tilt, take your choice and be confident.

I recently bought a Woods RB84 that had a twist in it. You could see it with the blade resting level and you squatting down in front and looking at the square tubing.
The one I have now (replacement) is fine and so was the 6 footer I had before. I would "plumb up" any blade I purchased, new or used.

If price is no object, go for the heaviest one. The weight is what gets the job done. I had originally ordered a Woods but for some reason the factory missed the delivery so I cancelled and bought a Bush Hog instead. It's done the job for me.

Not familiar with the BH model but I have been very happy with the Woods RB60 I have for my 4115.
