Just purchased a SV40 with a six-way blade. Is this really a game changer?

Guess that would depend on what you bought it for. Digging trenches and burying bodies, (y) :LOL:
Letsdig18 on YouTube has the 55 and is real happy with it. User HK45 (TBN) bought a new Yanmar tractor and it sounds like Yanmar and the dealer were very good working with his problem.

If you don’t have a skid steer then maybe. I hardly ever use the blade on my mini besides as a stabilizer. I’ll probably buy my next one with just a regular up/down blade and use the savings to buy a tilt ditching bucket.

Apologies, I should have been more specific. I was referring to the six-way blade only. Previously had a Mitsubishi MS035 (early Cat 303) with just a straight blade that I used quite a bit but it didn't have float like the SV40 does. The SV40 will be replacing The MS035 as well as the YCT306 dozer that I had. I've seen several SV40 videos.
