EB-80/8inPA 1,641 #8 Posted March 25, 2023 I don’t remember seeing one of those advertised for less than $300 the last few years. That’s fantastic. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I see them in the $250 to $300 range, just wasn't willing to spend that kind of money on one. I've always wanted one and I'm happy to have it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutdoorEnvy 1,522 #10 Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Yeah they are getting scarce for sure. I'd love to pick one up and finding one that close to home is awesome! Good grab! There's a one posted on FB in Lindsborg, Kansas right now for $100. too far for me to drive but if anyone is in that area might be worth a look.

Mike'sHorseBarn 2,998 #11 Posted April 1, 2023 I think it looks good on the 857! Doesn't lift it very high though. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,690 #12 Posted April 1, 2023 Doesn’t lift very high but I think you will be surprised how well they really do work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering about the lift height. I thought I had the wrong linkage or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #14 Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Was you wearing the mask Mike? Come to think @Achto might have stole his too. I know I stole mine but yes they work great on a 857 or a 867 where mine is now. You wanna talk seat time! Note the turf tires and it still moved this whole pile of gravel. Feet had to be on the top of the blade to dig sometimes. I have some kind of PO lift bar that can't put down pressure on unless it's with my feet. I don't think any kind of gear jammer can do that tho. It does lift fairly high. I also don't know what the original lift bar should look like. @ebinmaine works one too. Since you bozos like pics ... Dan workin his...tellin ya Mike best implement for any horse. We was at a show and they hauled in a load just fer us to play in. Really poed me I didn't have mine! Note @Achto has only got turfs too! No ags no chains no weights but still hauled the mail! Edited April 2, 2023 by WHX?? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,361 #19 Posted April 2, 2023 I have a grader blade on my '68 Raider 12, I'd say it pretty close to the ground with the blade up. Maybe 2-3". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moe1965 738 #20 Posted April 2, 2023 Nice score I don't think I would ever have a use for one but at that price I would not hesitate. I could find a place to store it........ I think 🤔 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete D 83 #21 Posted April 12, 2023 I got a smaller one with the tractor I just bought, along with a 48" mower deck. I'm not sure I'll ever use the grader. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep it to put on another tractor for usage after you're done with the loader for the day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete D 83 #25 Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) I decided to sell mine for anyone interested. I posted photos in "fair pricing for implements" in this forum. Edited April 26, 2023 by Pete D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
