The tractor supply $400 blade will bend like tinfoil. Hiniker makes a good blade. A JD 115 blade is adjustable about anyway possible, heavy enough that a 3010 couldn't EVER hurt it, and old enough to be priced right.(I bought one brand-new 20 yrs ago for $1500, I think) Use a quick coupler and all you will have to do to put it on is get out and fold up the jack--the rest is done from the seat. Heavy enough and enough adjustments so that you can do summer dirt projects with it as well--anything from rebuilding waterways to constructing building pads.
A front-mounted blade is more hassle than it is worth. Besides, if the snow gets deep enough, there will be times when you need a loader bucket up front and not a blade.
There are other good blades--many brands-- but spend some coin and get something HEAVY DUTY. Deere's numbering system used to mean the horsepower guarantee. In other words, if you damaged a 115 blade with a tractor no larger than 115 hp, it was warranted against damage. Consequently, the Deere model 150 blade was REAL tough--more than most people ever need.
I'd save my money and buy a used heavy name-brand blade and stay away from the farm store light-duty junk.
