| There seems to be alot of discussion about these lately and the few I have seen for sale lately are $250 low end up to $400. Are they that rare? I got one last year and have used it occassionaly and I like it, but it doesn't seem that much more useful compared to the front blade. Am I missing something? For snow I think the front blade is more handy because they are taller and snow doesn't come over the top as quickly. Just wondering...... |

| The grader blade was much rarer to buy than the push blade. Cost to make was the same, it's just hard to find a factory one. When looking at the cost of an attachment, I tend to think how much effort it would be to fabricate verses find. Quite often it's just easier to pay a bit more for a factory ready attachment than making one. Thus I've paid $250 for a grade blade at one time a while back. I only have one. |

| I paid $100 for mine, which I thought was kind of high, but not with what I'm seeing a couple go for now. I do like the one on eBay right now with the foot rests, mine doesn't have those. I just went there a couple months ago to pick up a 7016 from BR, but that price is a tad steep for me. |
