Ready to buy a grading/rear blade Wonder if i should buy one from Tractor supply for like $400 or a used one from dealer $600-800 Plan to do lots of grading gravel,soil and snow in the winter Size will be 5ft wide

Either the dealer or TSC will work well but neither will work for snow.

For snow wonder if i use blade in an angle and backwards /skid shoes?
dealer has Land pride and kioti Anyone has a set up that works well? Had before a cat 0 deere small tractor with a rear light blade that did not work

I have a 7' tractor supply grader blade on my B9200 and it works great for anything less than 1' of snow. I use it to grade the driveway and have done yard landscaping as well. I have also bent the blade already. Its got a pretty good bow on it now. Granted I really use it to the limit, but I wasn't super happy with its durability.

If you want something cheap that works, the TS blade will work, just keep in mind you can't do "heavy" grading with it, as soon as you catch a big rock in low range you will bend the plow. this is where most people say to go with a name brand....which will be easily three to four times the cost....so decide if you'll need the heavy duty or not.

Rear blades work fine for snow, that all I use right now, if you don't want it to dig in too much you'll need to add a set of shoes too it.
The heavier the rear blade is the better it will work, so go with the heaviest you can afford!

I missunderstood grader blade for box blade, yes a grander blade will work fine for snow as well but kinda sketchy for dirt working. You'll want a box blade for that.
