Brinly BB-56BH Sleeve Hitch Tow Behind Rear Blade, 42", Black

Good blade for a good price. I added a piece of angle iron at an angle between my garden tractor and the blade to keep the blade from being shifted left and right by the soil/sand/gravel. Looks like I'll also add a simple platform of some fashion on which I can plop a bag of sand for extra weight on the blade. For the money, I think it's a good attachment. By the way, I mistakenly ordered the Curt 45006 Bolt-On ATV Adapter because it was suggested as a possible requirement. I think it may be needed on a 4-wheeler but it connects to the draw bar of my John Deere lawn tractor (25 HP) by dropping the pin through the hitch on this blade. Thanks to Amazon, returning the ATV adaptor was no problem at all.

Great Value considering free Prime shipping. This is mounted on a 1977 Sears Lawn/Garden tractor. It was directly bolted to a 3 point hitch with an electric lift (linear actuator) to raise/lower the blade. (The arm lever has nothing to do with lifting or lowering but is used to orient the blade in the center 180 degrees, right or left. And it locks in place firmly). For its design and purpose this blade works great. The construction is sturdy with thick welds and overall it is better than expected for the price. It can move and spread loose dirt, sand, gravel, soil, and mud with ease. The left and right angle settings for the blade come in handy for shifting the dirt while grading. I have not yet needed to test the blade at a 180 degree rotation. To be clear there is no down force other than the mass of the blade and attaching hardware. Do not expect to cut a multi-inch inch deep path in hard packed ground or cut a deep path through a mature lawn. For that type of job you'll need a larger tractor with a hydraulic system to provide powerful down force. If installed properly and set correctly this blade should provide the owner with years of satisfaction. Incidentally, there were a few fasteners missing due to the shipping box being torn. (unknown if caused by manufacturer or rough shipping/handling and not fair to instantly blame manufacturer/vendor). I didn't sweat it though and easily located the missing fasteners at a local hardware store. Much faster and less time wasted complaining to manufacturer and waiting to receive minor parts. This was not enough to lower my 5 star rating.

didn't fit sleeve hitch I had, kind of lighter than I thought it would be

Excellent add on to my Cub Cadet LTZ Garden tractor

Was tired of waiting on over priced grading contractor promises. I have been punishing this blade unmercifully on steep rocky trails and other hard grading applications. So far so good.

Works nice but missing a hitch pin, not sure if it was to be included or not but for this price it would have been nice, if I was suppose to get one then I did not in either case 4 stars for improvement.

Blade has no cutting edge wear bar. So I installed one after buying a good bar of high carbon steel and the hardware for another 30 bucks. Had to drill out the existing lower holes and add two more on the end to install the bar and corner protectors. Without a wear bar you are basically grinding your blade down as you scrape. Didn’t like that thought.After some time the pinhole that holds the blade to the receiver begins to Expand into an oval shape. This causes your blade to move and snap your pin. I’ve replaced three so far. Next step is to drill a clean hole and increase the pin size or add a sleeve. My wear bar has held up nicely and the blade does a terrific job. Just moved two tons of gravel onto the driveway from a pile.

We ordered this for my husbands little John Deer tractor to plow our driveway when it snows. We live in Southern Oregon and get hit with lots of snow every winter. This plows our driveway like a charm. No more struggling to get our of our driveway in bad weather! He had to modify installation to work with his tractor but it was easily done. We would recommend this product.
