The John Deere 54 Inch Quick Hitch Front Blade shares quite a few things in common with the John Deere 52″ Rotary Broom and the John Deere 47 Inch Snowblower. The most obivous one is that it is only compatible with the John Deere X700 series of tractor lawnmowers. Specifically these mowers include the X700, X720, X724, X728, X729, X740, X744, X748, X749 models. This 54″ blade is highly adjustable. It uses a hydraulic system to change and fix the angle of the blade so that it correctly deposits snow in the right place.

The hydraulics system allows it to rotate up to 30 degrees in either direction from it’s center so that whatever direction you are traveling in, you’ll always be able to deposit snow right where you want it. But the John Deere 54″ quick hitch front blade is not just for moving snow, you can also use it for light earth moving tasks as well as moving debris.

To ensure that you get the most out of the John Deere 54 inch quick hitch snow blade for moving snow, you need to also consider using tire chains for extra traction. On top of this you should consider using ballast at the rear of the tractor to further increase the grip of the wheels. As an added safety feature (to protect the blade) it has a coiled spring suspension built into it so that if it does hit a large unmovable object, it flexes instead of potentially breaking or damaging the Quik Tatch system that is uses to attach itself to the tractor lawn mower. You’ll also be pleased to learn that the JD 54 inch front blade uses skid shoes that can be adjusted so that you can keep the blade off the ground to prevent it from possibly damaging it.
