newbee time for a rear blade

[Gamemaster]

So many choices for rear blades. I at least decided to get one with rev. blade, off-set & tilt but there are so many brands. Need to groom trails ( ditching & grading), grade some areas and maintain gravel driveway. Any certain brands to stay away from ?. There is one called Midwest that has pull-pins , no tools needed. This seems convenient, any problems with them?. Sometimes convenience can affect quality...opinions, please.

Just bought a new LandPride RB3596 8-foot rear blade from a dealer in Reynoldsville, Pa. It has all the features you mention and is a solid piece of machinery.

I also have a LandPride 6-foot rotary cutter that I've been using for a couple years and never had any problems with it.

I recently bought a Landpride RB3584 7 foot rear blade. Landpride is very nice equipment, well built.

I have a Land Pride RBT1584 that has been a good investment; use it for the ditch line on my gravel driveway and some snow clean-up. The 15 series is really a lighter duty "homeowner" series however LP makes several models that are heavier duty. (I also have a LP LR1584 rake that I use to grade/crown the driveway and am happy with it).

My only complaint about the RBT1584 blade is that offsetting the blade requires unbolting and re bolting of the blade.

I suggest getting optional skid shoes, helps with spreading/leveling gravel and plowing snow on a gravel surface.
