Snow Equipment Buying/Pricing Sub cut front snow blade quote

[75H2]

I'm pricing a front blade for my Massey SCUT. I already have the loader valve, but need the blade and the QA mount. Ist number came back just under $1,900 if I do the installation. Is that number in the ballpark?

It would hepl to know what tractor it's for.

There's a video on u-tube where someone adapted a John Deere 54 blade to the front of a GC2300. If this is the tractor you have you may want to look at that.

Good point, it's a GC2300 The price was for the 60 inch blade with the optional side to side hydraulic control.

Sounds like it's about in line at $1900.

That is a good price. I was quoted that for just the mount/sub frame for ours, so yeah, that is good IMHO.

Yeah, that is pretty close what I paid for mine, 60" top of line, with QC. You can keep shopping around.

They make you guys tough up there in Michigan plowing snow in sandals and shorts. Would not want to run into you in a dark alley.

I got a rough quote of $1800 for a quick attach frame mount 4 way powered blade (Hydro Up/Down, L/R) for our BX2660 from the local Kubota Dealer this week.

Chris, that was hilarious!!!! That was delivery day in July, of course. Actually, we had snow in the air yesterday. Brief spit, only lasted a few minutes, but you get the idea. I'll be posting some photos this winter from here at 45th parallel. Doubt you'll see any sandals and shorts.
We're tough, but not that tough.

I paid $1200 for a 54" all hydraulic to fit my John Deere 2210.

 

[CHDinCT]

I have about $1,250 into a 54" Kubota front blade that I'm making into a 4-way hydraulic plow. The standard 54" is manual angle. Blade and qick hitch with hydraulic up/down was about $985. If I could have done the welding myself, I could have saved about $120. The Kubota 60" 4-way hydraulic plow retails for almost $2,000.

 

[ChuckinNH]

Actually the 60" front hydraulic angle front blade retails for $1392.00. The quick hitch which you will need for either the 54', or the 60" retails for $586.00 per the Kubota site. The 54" blade itself retails for $421.00. Not trying to argue with anyone, just showing where the dollars go for the different options.

Chuck, yes, I did not specifically mention the quick hitch was part of the $2,000 +/- quote for the 60" but of course it's needed to actually mount it. Your prices confirm what I was quoted, so for a lot less, I got the 54" with 4-way hydraulics. Still leaves one to question why Deere's 54" with OEM 4-way hydraulics is around $1,200 and Kubota's 60", albeit heavier and larger, is $800 more. I think they should offer the 54" with the option for 4-way hydraulics, like Deere does.

 

[CHDinCT]

OK, just checked and the Deere 54" front blade with hydraulic lift and angle for a JD2305 retails for $1,298. Same set up for a 2320, 2520, or 2720 is $1,347.

My 60 in Hyd lift and angle sold for $1900 But I got a deal .
$1500 installed with all the parts/pieces and ready to go.
