petes 150 #1 Posted September 11, 2017 I found a grader blade for my Bronco. Now it has a dual purpose, taking the garbage can to the street and grading the driveway. My wife can't tell me to sell it right? It needs some paint and I'd like to attach a cutting edge to it someday. 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 62,959 #2 Posted September 11, 2017 Dual purpose is good..... If the wife is impressed by efficiency, take the trash out WHILE grading..... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texas Todd 1,024 #3 Posted September 11, 2017 Man that's a good woman that will take out the trash and grade the driveway.....you should keep her. Very considerate of you to build a machine that could give her more time for other things! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FatJackDurham 318 #4 Posted September 11, 2017 Nice. I am hoping to get a belly grader tomorrow. My driveway is pretty densely packed. I to was thinking of adding a reinforced blade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My driveway is crushed asphalt, which packs pretty tight and it worked well grading. It just didn't cut deep. On 9/11/2017 at 9:34 PM, wheelhorseman said: I put a cuting edge on mine and I love it! Did you fab your own edge or use an old edge from a different blade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't lose hope, I missed this blade the first time around, the seller had a guy that wanted it and waited almost 2 weeks but he never showed up. He advertised it on craigslist again and I snapped it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #11 Posted September 16, 2017 I have a 50" blade. Hands down my favorite attatchment! Of all the things I do w my horse that blade gives me the most satisfaction! 2 stage blower in 3' of snow is a close second. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
