ATTN: Heavy BOX BLADE Experts.....Give us your opinions please.

[EverythingAttachments]

I see no less than 6 post from EA since I inquired about buying one if these blades. No reply to me at all. I thought the beast would be a good match for my 96 hp 4x4 tractor. Oh well if EA can't even manage a simple we'll get you pricing as soon as we can or a thank you for your interest they must not be very concerned about selling them.

I'm sorry that I haven't responded yet. The phone has been really busy this morning(only Rick and me in sales)

I think it'll be a good match for your tractor and the tractor that he will test it on is very comparable. I'll be glad to provide you with pricing when that is available and will keep the thread updated throughout the process.

We really appreciate the interest.

It looks like the weight of a 96" Beast will be 2,096 pounds.

This blade will be capable of doing more than just moving dirt/grading such as shearing off 3-4" trees and clearing land.
The tractor that Ted is planning to test it with is a New Holland TL90 4wd/Cab/Loader tractor that has been turned up to 108hp.

He said he'll have some more pics over to me soon.

I can't wait to see the testing video!

I can't wait to see the testing video!

I can't wait to see how it's going to shear off 4" trees! There will HAVE to be some pics and video of that!

Here are the latest pics. The prototype is being cut now. 2,122 pounds, 8 scarifiers, Cat 2&3 Quick Hitch compatible.

Harry Gant's TL90 New Holland that Ted is planning to use for the video has been turned up to 108 PTO HP so we'll see what happens!!
We should be able to do a video soon.

Ted just spoke to a friend of his at Vause Equipment in Fayetteville, NC.
He has a Genesis 240 PTO HP 4wd Cat 3 tractor for us to use.

Sounds like that tractor/box blade combo will provide some good tree shearing action!!!

Can you get an estimate of what the tractor weighs. It won't matter if it has 2000hp if there isn't any weight to get the power to the ground.

The hp/weight of the TL90 4x4 will be on the low end for this blade and the 240hp 4x4 tractor will be on the high end. These should provide us with a great overall evaluation.

The TL90 weighs around 13,500 pounds and the 8970 weighs around 35,000 pounds the way they are set-up.
Here's a pic of the big one:
