Rear Blade Landpride or Rhino

Peej · Mar 6, 2011

we are currently selling our motor grader in an effort to reduce assets but still have a need for a grader at the landfill. Will be pulling it with a case puma 155 4w/d. Looking at the landpride RBT60 and the Rhino 2500 or 3500.
Not greatly interested in a pull behind as they have a tendency to "cheat over" on grades. Any thoughts?

I would go for the Rhino. Gauge wheels will let you do a much better job with it.

The Rhino blades are quite a bit heavier, at 3463lbs for a 12' blade where as the Land Pride is only 2400lbs for their 12 footer. My guess would be that the Rhino is a better built implement. I would hate to buy one of those new. I would guess that a used one could be had for about 1/2 of new.

Good luck.

I wished. I've been looking for a used Rhino or Bison 10' for a year or so. Everyone wants near new price for used around this part of the country.

That's how it is when I need-want something, none to be found. Go and buy a new one and then the neighbor will say that his brother wants to sell his for pennies on the dollar.

I just saw a 10' Rhino for $2k online. Don't know where it was though.

My money would be on the Rhino also....
