Got a WR Long 72" front blade now (the lighter one for compact tractors) that I used on my L3901 but it seems a bit small for the MX. WR Long makes a 84" and a 96" front blade for compact tractors. They make a heavier duty one but I think the lighter one would be better for my gravel driveway. Which one would be better, the 7' or 8' blade? I'm kind of leaning toward the 7' blade which will just cover the rear tracks at full angle since the 8' blade might cause the front end to get pushed sideways too easily with the blade at an angle.
I've ordered a rubber edge for the 6' blade to see how well it works on gravel. It's a 10" high edge and the retaining holes will be 2" from the top so there will be a lot of overhang on the bottom. I'm thinking that the rubber edge will fold backwards under the snow blade and dig in a lot less. If it works as planned, I'll get a rubber edge for the bigger snow blade.
