A friends had an 8' JD back blade on their JD 2020 since new or a very long time. The 3pt mast might be different, I have a photo somewhere of it, but it's well built blade. It cannot spin around 360 degrees when mounted, but depending on conditions, you may not need to. Snow that will roll off the moldboard is nice but when it's a wet non powdery type, it may just bunch up. Fair price from the many I have seen around here of similar construction. I have seen heavier ones that people were asking a lot more for, but took forever to sell.
I have a old McConnell Cat II 7' blade on my Ford 4630. It just covers the wheel tracks, and in 30" of powdery snow, it rolled it off when angled. Deep snow you may want to make 2 passes to get to the bottom. I can easily spin it 360 degrees when mounted, and this one not only has pivot pin holes where the blade connects to the rear part of the frame, it has a matching set right at the 3 pt mast where it hitches to the tractor. You can angle it and swing it to an extreme angle to either side. This tractor is 4 wheel drive with tall front tires for its size and it runs through 3 feet of snow with this blade on with ease. I just like the geometry of the blade, 8' would be nice, but it's less of a cut in deep snow to influence the tractor like a front blade can do, fits in the garage when on the tractor etc. I have never seen another MFR build one like this, I think its a very practical and versatile design. The darned thing is heavy duty, more than the tractor's hitch should take, so you can't use it like a dozer blade, you'll wreck something on the tractor first and the lift arms are thick on this tractor. Paid $300 for it and went and got it in pouring rain so as no one else got to it before me. I needed a quick fix for snow removal, sure was a good buy and solved that problem easily. I ran all over the property clearing paths last March when we got that 3'0" snow, it worked well. I took photos and video of the snow rolling off.
