johnerj Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Hi, I bought a tractor about a month ago and it came with a 46'' spring trip plow blade. It is a little to large for my area. I know what your thinking BIGGER IS BETTER, well actually not for me. I have 4' paths back around the chicken coops, and feel that the 46'' blade will be a little to large to zip around with, so I am looking to trade with someone. Please send me an email and we can swap pics, and info, and hopefully get what we both want. BTW. I am in Ohio, and maybe traveling to PA in the next couple of weeks to pick up a couple B-10's so the closer the better, although we maybe able to ship them? Thanks, John
DaleC Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 John I am bidding on a 42" now and will have an answer in about 2 days. I wanted the 46 trip blade for my Bees but was gong to settle for the 42 instead. I you want to trade that would be great. I live in Northern Ky at Falmouth.
johnerj Posted November 1, 2003 Author Posted November 1, 2003 Dale, is the 42'' spring trip also? That is what I would like to trade for. Just blade. Do you think it is safe shipping something this large and heavy? Thanks, John
UCD Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 John The 46" when it is angled will be just right for your 48" walk ways 4" in the width of the blade is not much.
RayS Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 The 42 inch is not a trip blade and you have to get off the tractor to angle the blade. The 46 inch you can angle from the seat. RayS
goatfarmer Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 I'm not sure if the one I've got is a 42",or a 46".If it's a 42",I'll be up for a trade. I know it's got the spring trip on it,and adjust's from the seat. BTW,I'm in Northern Indiana,South Bend,to be exact.
johnerj Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 Thanks UCD, but I will be plowing between buildings about 4' apart, and need to keep the blade straight. John
DaleC Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 John, The blade I am speaking of is not a trip style. It is fixed. Kent, you have done a lot of dirt moving with yours. Question, How often does the trip come into play. Just curious.
johnerj Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 Hi Dale, I have, and have been using the NON trip style for some time. The problem is I have the paths lined with railroad ties, and I am hoping the spring trip will keep me from plowing them around. Of course I have not tried one yet. Thanks, John
