The host, an actual owner who let his blade sit unused for five years, covers use-case thinking, pricing (around $600 new), sizing considerations, dealer questions, safety notes, and negotiation tips. Best for first-time buyers still deciding whether a rear blade is even the right attachment.
Posted by the Hardy Brothers Outdoors channel; the host presents as a hands-on owner sharing personal experience rather than a dealership or brand representative.
The Frontier 2060L rear blade is about $600 new, which adds roughly $10 a month on a 60 month no interest plan.
The dealer recommended 60 inches, wider than the tractor's tire footprint, so the blade covers the tires for clearing snow.
It has no PTO, so there are few hazards, but the blade spins and creates a pinch hazard, so keep hands and fingers clear when turning it.
Bundle it with the overall tractor purchase, ask for about 20 percent off, be content with 10 to 15 percent, or use a Tractor Supply 10 percent coupon.
