Picked up a new (to me) back blade... check this thing out!

Servis is usually Rhino attachments from what I've seen. I don't know if they make other products, but I've seen mowers and shredders from them that were sold under the Rhino brand.

That blade looks like the one we had on the farm back in the 70's. It was a Rhino brand and weighed a ton literally. We used it behind a 9000 Ford (120 HP) with dual rear wheels and it would take all that tractor could dish out and then some. Very good quality blades. IIRC the only way to reverse the blade once on the tractor was to use the swing in connection to the blade swivel to swing the blade back and forth from side to side so it cleared the tires. Also had to remove the drawbar so it would clear past the middle. I guess it was designed that way but it was a bit of a PIA to reverse when needed.

I'd like to weigh this thing to see how heavy it really is... I haven't tried to swing it all the way around yet, but I'll try it today.

I am really impressed with how easily the 4047 handles it tho.

Nice blade, how's it working out? on another thread you mentioned the paint color, could you post that again? thanks

Very nice blade indeed. Nothing beats a heavy blade if you are actually trying to do any dirt work or grading. Those light 300# blades are a joke. And if you add enough weight to actually make them cut in, they fold like a pretzel.

That blade looks similar in construction to their current model 950 blade. Which is rated for 100HP and weighs 836#, so that may give you a close Idea.

One thing is for sure, I dont think you are going to hurt it any.
