if you haven't yet read it, a pretty good thread here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/271775-box-blade-bx.html#post3197700

(my personal purchase justifications are outlined there as well)

Looks like the LP BB1248 or the BB1548 are in my future. Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts and experiences.

Being a tractor newbie myself, I thought I'd share a tidbit of information which totally transformed my use of my box blade. I recently got an EA 50" BB for my BX25. I thought all you do is hook it up and start pulling it. At first I could start with level ground and within 5 minutes it would look like those motocross dirt tracks. The thing I was missing was tilt. By adjusting the top link so that the front blade of the BB was a little higher than the back, things literally smoothed out from there on. If no one has yet to tell you about that, well, there, I just did.

Great thread and timing I just met someone selling a land pride 1560 box blade will my bx2660 pull a 60"?
Is $400 a good price? It appears to be in great shape even though its over ten years old.

If you are grooming a driveway, yes. If you are digging a basement, probably not. I have a weighted BX2360 and my 48" box blade can stop(not stall) it under some conditions. I wouldn't want bigger except for lighter duty.
