Rear Blade my rear blade

[Sackett2]

The rear blade I chose (from Betst) was this one. I wanted versatility and cheap cost. It only set me back 500$. I liked that it had rippers on it, just spin the blade around and pop them down. it also offsets to the left or right, so you can grade to the side of the tractor.
Next year, Betst should be offering a landscape rake and boxblade for the frame, so you don't have to buy an entire mount system again. For those of us who have limited use for the rake and boxblade, this is a great option

That looks like a very versatile piece of equipment at a very reasonable price. I could have used something like that yesterday - I was trying to level out some dips in our our garden by back dragging the FEL. I really like the swinging mount, although I'm curious if it will provide enough rigidity when the blade is offset? Very interesting arrangement of linkages. Now I really want to go buy some steel and get welding!

let me know how the offset gradeing does. my RB3572 offsets, but when i do, if im very aggressive at all about my cut, it pushes the back end of my little tractor around ALOT. (loaded rear tires would help im shure)

that's him. Just e-mail him or call- the phone number is listed in many of the auctions. (Name is Keith)
I don't know why he chooses to list only certain items at certain times, but he useally has these in stock. Some of the smaller (4') ones are lighter in build- and I believe do not have changeable cutting edge?
His store is just off I-5 in Creswell Oregon, so if your in the area you could shave shipping.
I have no attachment to Betstco, except I live near him and have bought a blade and desk top firewood splitter.
I'll have to check out the other links, only know him from e-bay. The store use to sell Chinese tractors and acc, (taskmaster?) but it went out of business and Keith took over specializing in Chinese attachments.
I'm looking forward to the landscape rake- hopefully having the frame will make it a bit cheaper.
the "Power Craft" is the other side of the store, having log splitters and stuff, different phone number, but for 3 point stuff you will need to press the ext for Keith
