Thanks! That was just what I was looking for. And maybe a bit surprising. I was trying to decide between the Land Pride and Kubota 72" snow blades. My dealer had both in stock so I was able to do a side by side comparison. It really was six of one and half a dozen of the other, IMHO. There were features I liked about each one but in the end I went with the Land Pride. It looks like it is beefier to me, but given the weight just quoted the Kubota outweighs it by 100 lbs! Again, without bothering to get into specifics, there were some points I liked about both, but it came down to my preference for the beefier trip springs and the way they're set up on the Land Pride. And having had no experience with either one, I might very well be completely wrong. Both companies are known for quality products and I'm sure either one will work as advertised. The price was basically a wash too. Now all I need is a little snow to see how the B 2650 handles it! George
