LA115

[leonz]

Just curious as to how many of you have the snow blade for the LA115?



I bought mine the other day to add a new tool to the stable as I wanted to
have something to do light grading with and it is not very heavy.

I have to tighen the trip spring on it to make it work better
but I will not be using it for plowing snow.

I really thought for $400.00 I would have been sold a stronger plow blade.

Is this blade used on the next series/higher horsepower JD units with larger frames too?

My dead wheel horse 244 hydro has a blade and frame that weighs half as much as
the plow and the LA115 together.

I know you get what you pay for.

Makes me wonder whether the 2305 would have been worth it but I hesitated in buying it when I
read that the aluminum rear axle had a habit of breaking.

I have to mount the casters on the snow blower/caster before the snow season comes and
have a pipe made to mount the beacon on it as I will need it for the two driveways.

The issue you will have is with the wheels slipping. You will have to add some weight and chains to your tractor. I had found a like new used one for 100 bucks a few years back, but after reading about the tractor I have (LA120) I passed. The people's biggest issue was that there was no traction.
