B7100HST-D blade and rake

[MAFABCO]

Mills Fleet Farm has a sale going on for a couple more days, $50 gift card with a purchase of $350 or more. Last Sat I went and picked up a King Kutter 6' rear blade and tonight I went and picked up a King Kutter 7' landscape rake. Actually bought a 6' rake, but they loaded up a 7' one. The gate guy couldn't get it to scan right so he just over forced it through and let us go. I didn't notice until I got home, 65 miles away. I figure I will just use it, if its to large for the B7100 I can just cut a little off each end and have a few spare tines.
SO I ended up with both these attachments for $715 and I got $100 back in gift cards, so...$615 for the pair. not bad

You'll lift and drag both the rake and blade just fine. However pushing snow with a 6ft blade wont work on a B7100. I push with a 4ft blade behind my B6100 and sometimes its all my tractor can do. I plow better backwards then forwards.

I have a B7100 HST-D and a 7' Ford rear blade. Rear blade belongs to my neighbor who no longer uses it with his much larger Ford 3000 tractor and has "lent" it to me on my farm. I push snow all day. Now - I'm talking about 10-12" down my 275' gravel driveway. But it pushes fine. Even the 2' drifts it pushes on through. The blade is adjustable angle when pulling but when turned around for pushing is only straight - no angle so I'm pushing a full 7' of whatever. I plow my neighbors driveway too.

ONly thing I wish - I could use more weight on the front (I currently have 2- suitcase weights) but the 7' FORD rear blade is heavy - especially when rotated to push - but the B7100 handles it fine.

This fall I re-graded a bunch of low spots in my pasture with the blade - moved a lot of dirt with it - I'll admit it is a bit big for a B7100 - but the tractor powered with it fine.
