Grader blade/snow blade question

Hi all!

I've got this grader blade/snow blade set-up that came with my 140 when I bought it. The PO used the mid-mount position to level his driveway. I used it out front to clear the area around my shop of snow. Now that I live much farther north, I see no use in keeping it. I bought a skid steer with a snow bucket and standard "digging" bucket. I can use these buckets to move snow in the winter and grade the driveway in the summer. There is no way the 140 could take care of the snow here. I use it for gardening type things now.

My question is: Can any of you think of a reason to keep this blade unit? I'm planning on passing it on to a new owner soon, otherwise.

Thanks!
 
Well, personally I'd always like to have a backup in case ship hits the fan, but if you can do everything else with the skid steer I get not wanting to deal with the hassle of mounting and unmounting the blade. I have the same 1A-60 blade for my Super A for snow plowing.

The only thing is getting a true grade cut on a front mounted skid steer bucket might be a challenge. With the blade belly-mounted on 140, the front tires will always be on the previous grade which means you'll always get a level cut.
