Snow Blade

[suntreemcanic]

I am in the market to buy a snow bade for my B7800. The local Kubota dealer recommends Land Pride from Kansas City. Are these any good? What are you using?

Land pride is owned by Kubota. Great blades

I currently have a Land Pride blade on the rear of my L4060 for snow duty. It's a well built blade.
That said, I ran a light duty County Line blade for snow removal for years with an L3410. It worked great, and was much less expensive. I wouldn't use it for anything but snow though.

I had a Land Pride rear blade for 30+ years. Served me well - in the winter. It was simply too light for summer driveway maintenance. When I got the Kubota M6040 I upgraded to a Rhino 950. 96" & 1050#. That's what it takes to penetrate my summer driveway.

As mentioned LandPride = Kubota. The appropriate (HP, width, etc) attachment will be well matched to your tractor. You get what you pay for; some of that is the Kubota name, but some is Kubota quality. That said, in my neck of the woods dealers around Boston are MSRP, dealers up north will deal or discount slightly. You will have to decide how far to travel. I am well satisfied with the LandPride landscape rake I own, but my snow removal is a Lorenz blower and the FEL bucket.

"Snow blade" is a little ambiguous. Do you mean a front "Snow Trip Blade" (STB) or "Rear Blade" (RB)? In either case there are probably as many threads on them as there are on the different configurations of snowblowers. Read them soon; come October the STBs will be selling fast in anticipation of winter.

I am interested in a blade for the front of my tractor. Yes it will be a spring trip blade. I always get volunteered by my wife to clean someone else's drive way and you do not know where the rocks are. It can get expensive real fast. I am glad to hear good things about LandPride blade they recommended. Thank you everyone for the free advise.

A loader mounted blade should be a floating design so the weight of the FEL stays on the front tires. Sure, you can float your loader but then you can't steer like the picture on the web site shows.

When I bought my latest Kubota last fall, I wandered around looking at the implements. As others have said, Kubota bought out Land Pride. Some implements are painted Kubota orange and black, with Kubota name on them. Others, same implements, are still in the Land Pride label and colors. Guy at the dealership said they are identical except for the paint and lettering.

I have a Land Pride rear blade I bought new in 2002 or so. I use it regularly for snow on our 450 ft drive and in summer for maintaining the same driveway [dirt and gravel]. It's been worked hard and is in great shape.

It sure sounds like the OP is looking at front snow blades....NOT rear blades.

The problem with "factory built" front snow blades;most I have looked at don't have a float function.A used truck plow with chain float works better for most applications.A B7800 is not a large tractor,a 5-6' blade is big enough.
