Back blade is not QH compatible. Never got around even if possible to extend the lower arm pins by the few inches needed. Today, removed the QH05. Light weight makes it an easy and quick to do. Replaced the stock toggle stab with sliding bar type. Even then a bit grunting and fiddling around to attach the blade. Didn't help the pallet that the blade was on sits on the ground bit cock-eyed. Good thing the 60" blade is relatively light in weight. Just a few moments to attach v. less than a few moments attaching the QH compatible implements. Thinking with the stock toggle stabs it would have added more than a few moments. Plus 2 decades of no QH and heavier 3pt implements. Life is better now. No going back to no QH.

A few snowflake came down late yesterday. 3pt snowblower ready, chains on, back blade on. -2.2C/28F this AM. Plugged in the block heater to check if it works. It does. Ready for snow. That should jinx any accumulating snow dumps.

I've had a QH for the past 10 years and absolutely the bees knees when combined with top-n-tilt. I've had a QH05 and currently have a QH10 and QH15. I'd like a QH20 but it's not a must have.

So you have a rear blade and a rear 3-point mounted snow blower? Have you thought about a front blade to go along with that blower? Do you switch them out during snow season?
