Backblades?

Found this site www.grattex.com, has anyone used one or something like it? Saw some pics of a big Case with a backdrag plow and Comrade Captain Mark's JCB but would like to see and hear more about them.

Nice Find. Those are like the Blizzards PP's of Pushboxes! I saved the link and will seriously look into one when the time comes.

The Backblades where cool but I don't see the need! The front pusher box is much more effective.

I tried a 6-10 a few weeks ago on my Kubota 5030. I don't have hydraulics to my loader so I only had it un-expanded at 6 ft. It works well. They blade is made very solid and heavy. I used the back dragging position for clearing out parking spots in a condo parking lot. If you want more info talk with Steve he is a member on the site and goes by the name "Business". He is the sales rep for my area. Wyldman may also be able to supply these blade through his connections.

Cool, They look interesting, I like the 'get wide' part but not sure how to use it in our fleet. They do look well built. I like the sander on our tractor but wonder if a backblade would give us more production? How do they price out?

I have hydros on my L48 Loader. What is the cost of a 6-10??

Why would you need the backdrag on the back of that unit if it had a push/pull type pusher on it? Seems like a lot of equipment to do the same job. I think that would be a much nicer set-up with a push/pull type pusher up front and a blower on the rear.

I talked with these guys at the show in Marlborough. Solid product. Almost seemed too heavy for a skid but they claimed it would be fine. The wings are an interesting idea but again I wonder if I had a 6-10 instead of another manufacturers 8 how would I use it? Would I be using it extended a majority of the time? In that case would I just purchase a 10'? Do I have places where I could collapse the side to sqeeze through somewhere? I can see transporting would be much easier. It would fit on the trailer attached without hanging over the edges.

I was interested but was just a little nervous that they were so far away and I need more evidence that I would use it more or it would make me more efficient.
