Thomas,

I bought one a couple of months ago. I think the brand is "International" (not IH). I can slide it left or right and it is a 5-foot blade. I can take a pic of it tonight if you like. I think I paid about $225 for it.

Midwest is the OEM for Kioti. If you have trouble finding a dealer that carries Midwest, try a Kioti dealer.

I like the design of the Midwest because it takes no tools and no re-leveling of the blade to offset it. A couple pins and slide it to the right or left.

Thomas,
I just got the 7' model of this 5 ft slider you can call McGrew Equipment directly. I paid about 180 for my blade.

I believe Midwest also makes the rear blades for Corrhier Equipment, who is a sponsor and advertiser on TractorByNet.com.

I picked up their 5' model that also has the tilt feature and it is a great blade. The think I like the most is that you can make all the adjustments to the blade without tools, the Offset, Angle and Tilt settings are all adjustable with PINS instead of bolts, like on some other brands. Even with gloves on, you can adjust their blades.

I did find that if I am going to doing adjustments to the OFFSET feature in the field, I will spray a light oil lubricant onto the channel that the blade pins into to make it easier to slide the blade from side to side when making the adjustments.

I forgot to mention that Corriher sells the blades in various colors so if you are concerned about matching your implement to your tractor they can probably help you out.

Corriher has series 22 blades on Ebay. Click here... Corriher 22 Blade on Ebay

Their shipping rates don't seem to be as low as they were a year ago, but they have great product ( Midwest usually...they'll tell you if you ask ) and better customer service.

Thomas,

I bought the Midwest RB22-60 two months ago for $285 plus freight from Corriher. The shipping to the Yellow Freight terminal in Bedford, NH was around $92. I am pleased with it, and also intend to use the offset feature for snow removal.

After calling around locally, I concluded I was better off buying from a sponsor of this site. Same thing with the tooth bar I just ordered from Carver. My local dealer tried to sell me a skid steer tooth bar for my B7500, they had no clue.

How big of a blade should I get for a 25hp tractor w/ FWA?
I'm thinking 6' as that sould allow me to still cover my tracks (about 46") with the blade angled. Am I thinking right?

B2400 · Nov 21, 2003

I was at the local dealership today and they just picked up the King Kutter line. I noticed that they had a 6ft rear blade that you could offset right or left and it was $290

jima1 · Nov 21, 2003

IMCA38,

Yes, that is correct, you definitely want to cover your tracks.

Not sure what you meant by FWA, if 4-wheel drive then a six-footer should be no problem /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I also bought a Midwest 22-60 (60 inch) from Corriher, shipped to Bedford, NH. Yellow trucking in Bedford will use a forklift and set it in the back of your truck (mounted on a pallet) and you can easily use the FEL to pull it out. Great service, great product from Corriher. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have a kioti 1914 which is a bit less than 4' in width. Can I get away with a 5' blade as far as angle goes?

Slamfire · Nov 22, 2003

Works for me, mine is 56".

Nuru · Nov 23, 2003

I have been thinking about a rear blade. But I got a dirt scoop first. I am still considering a rear blade though. Just have not pulled the trigger yet.

RoyJackson · Nov 23, 2003

"Can I get away with a 5' blade as far as angle goes? "

Reckon that depends on how much you're going to angle the blade. Suggest you try 25° to 30° for snow. You should be pretty close then. If you want to trig it out, the length of the blade would be the hypotenuese. You'd want to calculate the base (of the triangle) at what ever angle you think you need. (as I'd suggested, try 25° and 30°). As long as the base of the triangle exceeds 48" (the width of your Kioti), you should be fine.
