Well, I went ahead and purchased an 8' Bison blade with hydraulic angle (I've got the single remote, might as well use it) skid shoes and end plates for just under $1300. They're going to assemble it and deliver it to my door for that price. I didn't get the heaviest blade but was able to get the hydraulic angle with this size. It will be used for moving snow and some driveway work after heavy rain. The driveway and my land is sand with no rocks or roots so I don't expect to need a seriously heavy blade for my L4200. That's my hope, of course. I may pick up a used box grader at some point.
