Buying Advice v-blades for toolcats

[eides15]

Has anyone used a v-blades that is just hydrolicly controlled only. Bobcats v-blade is a eletric over hydrolic and that seems lodgical but I got some pricing from a different company that does all the blade combinations through hydrolics only. Seems like a well built attachment 1190# compared to 770# of bobcats. Also is the weight getting to be a concern. From the reading that I found it looks like the rated lift capacity is 1500# at full height and the tipping capacity would be double that. Is this true? I want to get the v-blade but am I over thinking things when the straight blade would be fine. I guess who has a v-blade and do you like? So give your opinions on the matter. Thanks

Can't help with snow blades, but it will handle the weight.

My 5610F can lift this 1800 pound deck to full curl and full height.


Measured just over 3000 pounds at the attachment plate, the back wheels didn't come off the ground.


Do you have a 5600?

We just bought a 5600 and got a V-blade with it. We havent used it yet so I can't comment to how well it moves snow. Weight is not an issue at all it lifts it easy with no problems. The construction is solid and we talked to several people who had used one before and they like them a lot.

Let us know how well the hydrostatic traction control (HTC) system works on the 5600G, when plowing snow. Maximum Traction. Minimal Disturbance. - Toolcat 5600 and 5610 Utility Work Machines - Bobcat Company

My 5610F loses traction a lot on uneven ground.
