WNYPCRepair 1,875 #1 Posted November 29, 2015 Just wondering how many XI owners here own a blade, and if you own an XI, but no blade, do you own a blade for a 300 - 500 series? Wondering if it is worth figuring out an adapter or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #2 Posted November 29, 2015 2 XIs but no blades for them but 2 1/2 blades for the Classics. I also very much want a mid-mount grader blade for something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fast88pu 3,324 #3 Posted November 29, 2015 I'm sure the XI blade would work on a GT14 or 520 with sweep front end if you just move the lift point on the plow frame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #4 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Three 5xi and one blade (had two, sold one.) The frame is wider and the sector handle is a different design than a classic Wheel Horse, so it is more than just moving the lift point.

The frame is the same width on the one I just put on my XI, but it is longer and the sector handle is different.

JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,497 #6 Posted November 30, 2015 I have a blade for my xi, its never been on the tractor, why do I have it? Cause it was there, lol. Mint. I have a blade for the 300, 400, 500 series machines, its been used plenty, but not by me. It came with a tractor. Glenn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 925 #7 Posted December 1, 2015 I have a blade for my xi. The PO used it for about an hour. I have used it once for maybe 90 minutes. It spends it's life in the shed. I used it for spreading dirt and it worked well, much better than the classic tractors. No need for it anymore, have a loader for the summer and blower for the winter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
