I'm in the process of rebuilding a very old eroded roadbed. So I need a rear blade that will recut the drainage ditches and then blade the fill and gravel surface; and eventually maintain the road. <br>
<br>
I'm looking at the two different types of rear offset blades, not box blades. One is made by Leinbach (Model SO-6)and offsets using a 4"X4" swinging beam; the other unit is made by Midwest (Model RB22-72)and has a moldboard backing bar that allows 24" of horizontal offset. Both have the tilt and angle features for grading and working ditches. The Leinbach is a heavier unit (393 lbs) than the Midwest/Corriher/Kioti unit (304 lbs). From a geometric standpoint it would appear that the swinging blade would be able to cut a steeper ditch than the sliding setup. <br>
<br>
Are there any advantages or disadvantages of one system over the other? Anyone have any experience with these blades? Thanks in advance for you thoughts and advise.

A nice simple design, thanks for your shed description and photo. Is the siding metal or plastic?
