It's a 72". But it's very heavy, meant for a larger tractor, but I wanted the offset and the side plates for snow. I've since added a hydraulic angle kit as well. I'm sure it's weighing in at around 700lbs as it sits. If I had it do over again, I'd of bought my box blade 1st. This was a very expensive blade. I would also choose a different manufacturer, as I've been very disappointed with Landpride.
Definitely go 72", you have to consider the width when Angled will shrink, and you want to be wider than the width of the rear tires. Just go with a lighter model. The 3772 is very, very heavy. In 2018 I paid $1,700 for it. The angle kit for hydraulics was another $500. They're not my favorite for snow, because you've got to straddle the wind rows snow as you plow. Mine with the side plates works well for inside corners, then I can push it with the snow pusher. For grading, I prefer the box blade hands down. Also with snow, once I get a bit too much of snow pack, I can set the box blade to shave off a layer or 2, where the plain rear blade takes constant adjusting of the height of the blade to prevent it from digging in. Also, the first snows, or until the ground is frozen, it's extremely hard to keep the plain rear blade from digging up all the gravel, where as a box blade will ride on the rear facing blade, and can be adjusted easily so to just take snow.
@@ironheadbiker really appreciate your help. I’m planning on buying the blade from my local farm supply store. It’s around $700 for a 72” blade, so it’s not a heavy duty one like you have. I definitely want both implements! But might pull the trigger on the blade first. Thanks again!!
You bet. One nice trick with snow is to push backwards, or reverse the blade and drive forwards with it facing backwards, then it does move the gravel. It works great on grass as well. Yeah my I saved my dad a ton of money on his, he just went to his local farm supply as well and got one. Even check out Craigslist or Facebook for a used one. They haven't changed much thru the years. Like my snow pusher, I got tht beast for a little over $400.
Thanks for this old reply. Lol. I really wanted to thank you for all your videos, I've used so many of your tips, especially after I bought my box blade a few months ago. The true level and using a notepad to chart my measurements make things so much more efficient. Just thank you for all you share.
@@ironheadbiker I cant begin to express how awesome it makes me feel to know these simple videos have helped so many folks around the globe. youtube has been a blessing for me as it has afforded me the opportunity to meet awesome down to earth folks like you! keep the videos coming!
Thanks, the L2501 does a great job working that oversized rear blade. The tractor is quite a power house at the 25hp level, and best thing, no emissions, which is a huge reason I bought this tractor.
Yeah thanks. The weight of this very heavy blade makes the difference. I watched so many videos of rear blades, and so many of them seemed to bounce over obstacles. I had a bad lip where the grass meets the gravel, huge crown. This blade just digs it right up. And does great in reverse to spread. It's right around 640lbs if I remember right. The blade offsets to either side 28" but that's a lot of weight hanging to one side. The blade makes great ballast too. Thanks again
You are sooooo right! The weight of this blade actually does awesome doing that with snow. Perfect on the grass too. I did that alot before I got my snow pusher. Now I'm also the proud owner of a box blade. This blade did awesome turning up and establishing the lines and borders of my driveway, now the box blade just has to maintain it every once in a while. But I think turning the blade around 180 degrees is a very effective secret! Turns for watching and commenting
