Very well built. I also got the landscape rake attachment. All are very well made. Switching scrape blade and rake is somewhat troublesome when doing it alone. I called and talked to Ted with my ideal on how to make it easier to change to change solo. I’m sure they will change this immediately. LOL. Ted did give me some pointers on this issue. I shall see. Just an FYI I would buy it again. Good equipment.

So bought this unit to help out with building roads on our prop...bought it fully outfitted with hyd's on all point of articulation. I then customized it as I only have one open set of couplers on the rear. Cobbled together a 4W subplate, DCV's, re-plumbed lines from hyd cyl. to terminate in the subplate. 3D printed a new handle for the spool valve control lever with push-button to now control each of the blades function from one spool valve. I wanted it to function as economical as a CTL joystick. Works great and can't wait to use it.
Now what did I discover as I cycled all the cyl's to fill/flush them out was when the blade angle and tilt cyl is max retracted, the top of the blade weldment hits on the cyl that controls blade angle...not good. Now one might argue that you're not going to be using the blade in such an extreme case, but a little up front check in the CAD assembly would've revealed this issue to be corrected so no clashes occur.

While this is the first item like this I have purchased, I have used and worked on as a fleet supervisor for a medium sized city. This a quality product, I can highly recommend. Great customer service, everyone I spoke with was friendly and knowledgeable.

Estes did their best to damage it in shipping. The bent the parking stand and I could tell they scrapped it on some concrete walls somehow. Other than the stand and a little damaged paint, it was just fine. A quick call and Travis sent me a new stand and the hardware to attach it. A can of kubota orange spray paint and it’s perfect again. Can’t wait to go build some farm access roads.
