In my opinion that blade is one of the better implements you’ve had on your show. I really like the amount of adjustment it has. It makes it a lot more versatile. And I suppose if a guy was a little creative and new how to weld he could add hydraulics to it. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@GPOutdoors]

Tilt, pivot and swing are all easily accomplished without the need for a wrench or other tools. Looks well thought out and built beefy. Thanks for the demo and overview! Happy New Year Courtney!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Happy New Year GP, thanks for stopping by!

[@michaelmactavish4445]

i used to use a blade like that plus i made it into a loader mounted of useing a bale spear frame and pin it onto the frame so can use it on front or rear

[@bradwilliams4921]

Several years ago I smoothed out a small piece of land that my grandmother used as a garden when she was alive. I wanted to get rid of the rows left by the plow so that my parents could allow grass to grow and cut it smoothly with a mower. I did not have a box blade or a land plane but I did have a disc harrow, blade and a piece of telephone pole that had a chain hooked to either end so that it could be pulled behind a tractor. I broke up the piece of land with multiple passes with the disc harrow until the land was well churned up. I tried to use the blade to smooth out the loosened dirt but had trouble with it collecting dirt and leaving a big pile of dirt at the end of the rows. I found it easier to smooth the dirt by dragging the telephone pole over the dirt. It rode over the contours of the land and obstacles and didn’t leave a pile at the end of the row.

[@reno4819]

One of the traits of a good company is engineering. Dirt Dog has just made.my trusted list. Looks like they have versatility, good price point and good materials as well. And they didn't forget the reflectors for safety. But best yet they are american made! Thanks Courtney

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Definitely, thanks for watching!

[@Bob-vb8lc]

That blade made quick work of the area. You definitely operated it like a pro. New toy...tool to add to the collection

[@na-et2gp]

Stump bucket on the front and rear blade on the back is a winning combination. Blade helps find the buried stumps/roots, stump bucket removes that junk and makes a mess with deep holes. the rear blade then let's you fill and smooth it all back over. I'll always stick my rear blade on when using the stump bucket. Also use it exclusively for clearing snow up here in maine, great tool

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, that would have been great to have. Thought about it, but we were on a serious time crunch to shoot video, so had to stick with the current setup. Thanks for watching!

[@jimmcknight3021]

I think loader bucket with a cutting edge mounted might have worked better than a stump bucket for this application 🤔.

[@inspectr1949]

Used one for many years maintaining my 1/2 mile long private gravel road, it worked well for me but had its short comings like turning it around and trying to use it for a dozer and snow blade as I couldn't control it from digging in, now I sold that property and tractor with a 6' box blade and moved having to maintain just a very large gravel parking lot and bought a bigger nearly 7' wide tractor, now thinking of getting a 8' wide back blade for both snow and gravel work, will check out the Dirt Dog Blade and I think it comes in orange to match my new Kioti. Very informative, thank you.

[@mtozzy11]

Very handy piece of kit. Uses are endless, leveling, spreading, ditch cutting, crowning, scrapping material removal etc. We have two a Jarrett 5' from the 60's that can be reversed to operate it backwards and a challenge implements 10' all hydraulic that's 5 years old we use them for keeping the driveway tidy and keeping drainage ditches free of sediment build up.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Great info as always!

[@ironheadbiker]

Greetings from Wisconsin! I have a large rear blade on my L2501 Landpride rb3772, has identical features, i bought the side plates, and LOVE them for snow. Compared to a box blade, these blades sit much farther behind the tractor and with the side plates it's amazing how much snow you can collect behind you. However, to use it properly, unlike a box blade, you really need frozen ground or you'll be relocating a ton of gravel. Turning the blade around and driving forward with the blade facing backwards it does great on snow with minor gravel being moved. Thanks for your videos

[@kylerayk]

Great video Courtney! If you lengthen the top link you will change the rake angle on the cutting edge and that blade will dig in like a frat boy at a hot dog eating contest!

[@simpleman4196]

You can also use that blade to pluck the roots and rocks out of the ground. Tilt one corner down and angle the corner in towards the tractor then offset the blade and get the corner as close in line with the tractor as you can. You will be able to dig in and pull most things out of the ground. I have the same blade in a bush hog brand and have done this many times it works great. The blade is heavy duty enough that your tractor will not hurt it.

[@Classifiedreality]

You got a really nice playground, aka, work area, for ur work toys...just saynnnn...u. b blessed....well earned...thanks for the show...🚜👨‍🌾🙏...

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha appreciate it!

[@tomplentychief8978]

I brought the 96” for my l4760. It has been phenomenal for snow removal. I love the offset and ease of use! Thank you!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Glad you like it!

[@belindakt]

You're running that blade like a seasoned pro. Good job! Happy new year, Courtney....

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, Happy New Year Belinda! :)

[@thecat6062]

Those tires worked like a boss.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

They did work well!

[@donaldpyles2891]

If it is true that the guy who dies with the most toys wins, you are the Tom Brady of the tractor world. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha well I'm not aiming to wind up with the most, but it is a nice fringe benefit of my business!

[@randalmiddleton8068]

My first attachment outside of JD's purchases. The back blade combined with a LS rake has groomed old/new driveways and ditches. The one attachment that won't break the bank, but will bring one down...

[@earlyriser8998]

i just bought the everything attachments 8 ft blade and after 1 use feel like it has more capability for my road maintenance than a box blade or land plane both of which I have tried.

[@Allworldsk1]

Another great video. Looks like a pretty solid product. You talk about Beefy, that probably means it's pretty heavy, so just watch out for the 3 point hitch arms when you get close to heavy objects that can torque the blade.! If you have a 3 point quick attach that will set it out even further so just make sure you pay attention to the loads on the blade. You would not want to run into something that doesn't give👌🏻

[@deanbarr5740]

I hafta say Courtney, you are very much like my younger brother. Put you guys behind the wheel of a farm tractor, and you'll make things happen. That was pretty impressive. You did a great job and made it look easy.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, well thanks Dean!

[@tjvaichus]

So similar to a Woods. Great design, ease to use, and very effective

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BenKoser]

Yea, what I’ve come to like with a rear blade is the ability to deposit material off to one side. Our gravel drive is crowned and it’s the right tool to pull gravel up to the center and regrade it. Also great in the snow to push to one side. Mines less fancy than this dirt dog but same idea!

[@KirtH27]

The tilt function looks awesome!

[@rongray4118]

Just scored a 7' articulating blade with hydraulic angle for $800... can't believe it was available. Blade isn't even worn on it. Heavy duty for mountain roads. Can't wait to get it hooked to the rear of the Unimog!

[@stephenphilbrook6239]

Probably with all those roots it's a good thing you didn't try to till ot first. I was Impressed how it cut in. It'd work very well with a down pressure kit.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, good point!

[@bj.roberts6410]

Hi it's the newbie tractor guy again... Thanks for showing this... I bought one in the late fall and I was a little nervous to use it... thank you for showing a couple of solutions...

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Very welcome!

[@brandonbowser5487]

I have a fire 9 n with a 7 foot blade works really well for what I do just a drive way grade now and then and some snow plowing

[@bobjarrard]

The cost of not taking out roots and stumps when one clears land. We country boys let the traffic set the road aka Rubber Tire Grading. Gotta be major fun having all the nice TT (Tractor Toys) at hand. Thanks for the post. Bob in Nevada (my grading tool is a rake and square blade shovel)

[@vandstra]

I took the steel edge off mine and placed it on the backside of the blade. I then turned the blade 180 degrees so when I drag I am using the curved part of the blade facing forward. If effect, I am using the blade backwards. I did this because it is the best tool I have seen for smoothing without cutting with the blade. I use my grader blade in conjunction with my box blade. The box blade is used to remove ruts and redistribute the gravel. The grader blade is then used for final smoothing and shaping.

[@bubbaburns1830]

Another great video, thank you once again. I do have a blade question, and watching this video reminded me. Why are there no relief springs on the back of the blade to allow it to tilt whenever you hit those rocks ? Or an edge in a driveway removing snow ? Fantastic looking blade otherwise. Your pal BigBadBubbaBurns

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah that would be an interesting idea, kind of like snow plows. Thanks for watching!

[@leelizvid]

I wonder how the performance would have been with your big kubota… more weight, better traction? Noticed some slipping with the JD.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, probably would have been better, but not sure what would have happened with those stumps/roots...damage the blade or pull them out?

[@benfranklinification]

I like the music in this video .😊

[@3pRanchTx]

Another great video, thanks Courtney. BTW what is the name of the cover tune that you play so often in your videos, especially at the end? Love it…I’d like to put on my iPod.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good question, I gotta find out from my brother. We use some of the same songs over and over that we really like. He digs them up somewhere, haha!

[@3pRanchTx]

@@GoodWorksTractors It took some digging but I eventually found it. The song is “Closed Eyes” by Thyra. The hard part was finding the instrumental only version that you play. It’s now on my iPod!

[@davidkarath6549]

Wonder if uhmw sheeting (1/16) would help, pulling snow ? Nice blade

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Definitely would

[@philsmock4943]

For me, a rear blade was hard to use on my 1025R. I used one a few times and I think my driveway looked worst afterwards. Not an easy attachment to use and it does take a lot of practice and time to learn how to use it right. You seemed to do a pretty good job using one in this video. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelstorm8578]

It might work a bit better if the dirt was dryer and roots and stones are not right at the surface. In conditions like shown I have better luck with a heavy duty land scape rake.

[@BobsOutdoorActivities]

Very cool video! Would love one of those rear blades for some field work.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Easy to use!

[@thebabscat]

Good!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@markschmaus5580]

#1 on Tuesday!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

🎉🎇🙌👌😎🤩🏆🔥🚜🎂

[@sap3055]

Her in Norway this is the standard rear blade but we always have adjustable wheels back on the blade

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I can see that being handy!

[@cwolf8841]

Gauge wheels. Might be interesting to offer a bolt-on toothed edge for some grading.

[@martindery4270]

I like the versatility of a rear blade. It works on light snow… I wouldn’t use it on 3 feet off snow but a few inches is ok. I like the curve of this specific blade the moldboard of this blade is curved just right… the dirt or snow “roll” on the blade…. That’s a good thing. Over all seams to be a great product.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I'd agree with all of that, great points!

[@tracksoneverything4085]

Another great video. I have a 60 inch rear blade for my older B7610, it's going to my Brother's for the winter for him to use in his driveway. Do you know if there any any edge tamer type products that fit a rear blade? His driveway is gravel. I was thinking about rigging up something with snowplow skid shoes.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good question. There might be depending on the model.

[@bikingman67]

another thing i am looking for attachment for my rk 37 it is the same size as your jd 3038e and the l3901orange tractor and can you do a video on the new r14 tires that started with john Deere's

[@simpleman4196]

Looks exactly like my Bush hog brand blade it's the same model 7008. I wonder who makes them. Also I really like a rear blade their is things you can do with it that a box blade can't do. But have both is great.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yup, Dirt Dog is the same thing. Bush Hog doesn't build most of their own equipment. Hires it out. Pretty common in the Ag Industry.

[@jamesberg3106]

Good morning Courtney. Do the offer a right side off set? To me if I was trying to pull material towards the crown, t would be driving on the right side of the driveway. Very interested in this product. Good video just as I was thinking of a rear blade. Happy New Year to you and your family - Jim

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, you can offset either way. Happy New Year!

[@jamesyates5191]

I bought a rear blade and box blade with my 2038R and the a land plane shortly there after. I use the land plane the most followed by the box blade and until recently rarely used the rear blade. I only used it for cutting ditches which were few and not often. Then we got hit with this snow bomb of 14” and counting here in Medford Oregon which is a rare event. Wow I love my rear blade now and will abandon my plan of trading it in.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, everything's has its place!

[@bikingman67]

hello i really liked the dirt dog but something that will help you, I use my blade more than my box blade and if you put more of a top angle it will cut better and it would have cut thru the roots better. Thanks again for the great video's

[@paulgoplen5929]

Great. Now I have to get a rear blade too. My wife (the finance committee) is starting to dislike you.😀

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Ha, my bad!

[@mekosmowski]

I'm not a tractor owner yet. If I was using this tool and ran into the root problem, would I be able to raise the three point and hook up a chain to the draw bar to yoink the roots out?

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Great video Courtney; what is the price for that blade in an 8’? Also, what drone are you using? Drone footage was great!

[@stepitupmorons8704]

great stufffffff, again,, thanks,,

[@simpleman4196]

Have you gotten any snow to test out your grooved R4s yet? Iam up in the thumb and have plowed twice already. I really would like to hear your thoughts on the groove job

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Not yet, not much of a winter around here. I haven't plowed once.

[@simpleman4196]

@@GoodWorksTractors yeah this is a terrible winter so far if you enjoy snow I mean

[@kg66428]

When it comes to smoothing while moving dirt. I turn the blade backwards, and have it at a sharp angle. So when it hits something hard, it doesn't get caught, but just rolls over.

[@simpleman4196]

Extending your toplink will make the blade dig more. It's opposite of a box blade

[@musicgroopie1]

I could use that to muck out my pond.

[@stevegillespie6424]

Woods/Gill was making that exact same blade 20 years ago. Look up a Woods HBL72-2 model for example. Same thing, and made in the USA too. Just an obsolete model now, for newer designs. They're about $800 to $1200 on Tractorhouse. Let me Edit, and say It is a nice design for a blade, and very versatile.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, good blade designs have been around for awhile. Thanks for watching!

[@chief1193]

I wish they offer hydraulics for the smaller ones. It would be awesome to have hydraulic angle on the 35 series for my sub compact in snow. It’s a pain when it’s all covered in ice to try and manual angle it.

[@BradMyers]

I'm curious how your M4 would do with that blade.

[@jacoblawson7097]

Do you worry about the longevity of the bearings and seals in the rear end of that tractor having the wheels spaced so far out with all that weight on them?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

3" spacers, not a big deal to me. I prefer to feel more stable and secure. I'm okay with (maybe) slightly shortening the life of the axle. Axles can be replaced, but there's only one of me! 😂

[@1989Falkor]

I need one for my 3032

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I'd recommend a 72"

[@5075E]

A good application for a rear blade that you cannot do with a box blade or land plane is to recover gravel on the edges of a driveway due to traffic, grading, and snow plowing without dropping the tractor over the edge. Been thinking about one for that very reason, I have the other two.

[@cecilchristopher5092]

Suggestion it might have worked better if you had set it up to pull the dirt to the center of your drive so you ended up with a crown in your road.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I did not want to pull top soil to the middle of my driveway. I wanted to peel the topsoil out and will bring in a bunch of gravel and final grade and crown at that point.

[@JohnSmith-dj5gf]

Really wish more manufacturers would build options for gauge wheels on rear blades so you don’t tear into gravel driveways when clearing snow. Drop the rear blade, let it float up down and side to side. Would be very fast for clearing snow on long driveways.

[@rickb5575]

I’m between this and a box blade. Not sure which to get.

[@brandtwebber5761]

I have a 4 way hydraulic blade, I love it, also have my grandpa's 6' box and has never as of yet been hooked to my tractor. Just my opinion though.

[@rickb5575]

@@brandtwebber5761 thanks

[@brian_2040]

Only thing I see that should be changed up is extend your top link to where the blade is level.

[@s1283]

Idk if anyone has covered it, but if you adjust your top link out your going to cut mor aggressively and if you pull your top link in you will roll material and cut less.

[@SlackerU]

All of those pivot points seem cool until they rust & become seized. I'm kinda glad mine only has one pivot point that can & has rusted. Pulling the pin & replacing the grease only lasts about 2-3 years before it must be disassembled & redone, when stored outdoors.

[@joshuaplacka8480]

That would be the perfect width for snow removal. However you don’t have enough tractor to handle 8 ft when doing dirt work. Also if the back blade was heavier it would cut and roll better. Just my observation, I’m a woods guy, have never found anything built better.

[@brandtwebber5761]

Idk my tym 454 handles a 8' 4 way hydraulic just fine. I mean works for me.

[@sharkymitten]

Looks like you could use some weight on the front of that guy, using the scoop.

[@justanotherviewer52]

I don't think you were 'working' at all. Looked like too much fun to me.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha I'd have to agree!
