Grading Rear blade size

[bowhunter3030]

After having my tractor for almost 3 weeks now, I just noticed that my dealer gave me the Rhino 500 rear blade instead of the 300. It weights 110 more pounds than the 300. It is much better than the 300, as it has more adjustments and is 6' instead of 5'. My question, is this to big for my B3030?

NO it should not be to big for your tractor. i have a 6' rear blade on my B2400 and it does fine, i would have preferd 5' but it came with the tractor. the only thing i don't like about the 6' on mine is i can't swivel it 180 deg as the top corner hits my 3 pt. lift arms. but i don' think that would be a problem with your larger tractor.

It should handle it fine. You tractor will lift 4.4 times what the larger blade weights and your tractor weights 4.8 times what the blade does.
