Matt, I have no idea, those came with my LMC BB. Maybe direct from LMC?

For those thinking about the EA Xtreme Duty 6 way blade and not purchasing the sides and skids shoes upfront. FYI, there is a 27% up charge to add the sides and shoes after the sale. I know it states this on the web page that the pricing listed is for the initial purchase. But 27% is REALLY high to add after the fact. To purchase with the blade is $197, to add afterward is $250. Maybe this is the "free shipping" charge. I didn't purchase.

You spoke with Jeremy this morning and I thought he explained why it is more expensive if you add accessories later, but I'll give it a go.

If the skid shoes and side plates are ordered initially with the blade, they are shipped installed on the blade and the shipping we pay does not increase.

If the skid shoes and side plates are ordered after the fact, we must package them and ship them via UPS or FedEx Ground, which, naturally costs money.

I hope this explains the difference in cost. It isn't simply because we felt like penalizing you for not ordering it initially.
The side plates alone weigh 67 pounds, so this isn't light cargo we're dealing with.

I did talk to him. No explanation as to why was given. I had to assume and appears I assumed right, this is the charge for shipping. Not saying EA is completely in the wrong, just providing a FYI for others.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people feel entitled and thinks a business should "give " them things

Not the case at all. Never asked to be given anything. Like I mentioned numerous times (by using FYI), providing information to others on how the add-on pricing for the blades works.

I bought my Power-Trac factory direct. And I ordered a bunch of implements when I did. It all shipped together (tractor + 2 skids) and that kept shipping down. If I purchase single implements, the shipping is much more than had I purchased them all together. Heck, the savings on shipping two or three implements alone could pay for a smaller thing, like pallet forks or a bucket.

So, it is something for buyers to think about... if you even think you may need it in the future, add up the separate shipping costs and see what it'll run you.

Seems like pretty simple English to me, it's even in bold before you ever get to the pricing:

"Skid Shoe and side plate pricing below is only valid if ordered with scrape blade."

Some people just feel the need to blow the obvious way out of proportion....

But now that we're talking about the EA Extreme Duty grade blade, I have a question for EA and other grader experts:

I get the use of the sides: They make the grader blade more like a box blade and keep material in.

But what do the skid shoes do? What's their purpose? If Ted mentioned them in the ED grader blade video, I missed it. I did just notice in the pics that they have a ton of adjustment via the 9 holes.


And if any of you goofballs come in here and say "you gots to have'em!", I'm hunting you down and, oh I don't know, maybe grade your driveway or something.

Having said that, shipping for the shoes to 35758?

I believe they set the depth of the cut and give you more control so you don’t accidentlh gouge your road up

Mr. Brett is totally correct. It keeps it from digging in more than desired in gravel, concrete or other surfaces.

Yep, that's some laser time right there!

We can ship them for $15.00.
Just call me to order or type "Travis quoted $15 shipping" in order comments.

Ok gotta a question for EA, and any grader blade experts as well:

Pic of EA's ED grader blade direct from their website:

And here's a pic of my EA ED 8' grader blade:

Anyone see a difference?


Forget the sides, look at the top link connection.

 

[Piston]

Yours has the option of a sliding top link connection, which is very handy if you are using skid shoes or gauge wheel and do NOT have a hydraulic toplink with the ability to float.

However, your blade doesn’t look as heavily built as the first one you posted?
