Picked up two attachments - how'd I do?

[ishiboo]

Got a Land Pride HR3572 for $465, and a Land Pride CR2572 straw crimper for $330. I've been using a KK 72" box blade which is way too light for the tractor, I know i could go to 7' or 8' but I think this is a good upgrade until I find a larger blade.

How'd I do? I think the retail on the box blade was like $3k so I feel that was a decent buy.

Yeah, no kidding!

I never see any real deals around me My 5' box blade and 6' back blade (both Modern Ag) was a decent deal (I was after the box blade- comparable new was in the $1,200 range, so about $900 for both was, for me, a fair deal).

Thief. I paid more than that & got half the box blade (the same KK 72") only before I knew better.

You did REALLY GOOD!!!
It is almost impossible to get those kind of buys around here...
I just purchased a 7' Taylor Way Box Blade and gave $500...

That looks like a pretty terrible deal. Since I'm a nice guy I'd give you your money back.

I've called the cops, they should be at your door pretty soon. You'd better send the evidence this way.

Thought it was a good deal, thanks guys. The crimper looks like it could be new, just sat on the dealer lot for a while. The blade has been used lightly and with a coat of paint will look new.

I'm going to sell my KK, but to be honest despite having a bigger tractor than what I purchased it for (my L3650), I've never had an issue with it. And it's pulled 3 24" iron survey markers out of a gravel driveway over the years by hitting the top inch or so, without a scratch on it. The Taylor Way/Pittsburgh looks like a slightly beefed up version of the KK... very similar construction/weight it appears.
