BFJ, do you have enough ballast? My 4520 has 1100 lbs. of iron weights and the rear tires are filled with WWF. One drum of fluid in each rear tire. My tractor weighs about 6300 lbs without a fell.
Your 4320 can handle a heavy duty box blade if you have the weight and traction.

I’m sure it could handle a heavy duty box, my wallet could not lol.
I don’t have any ballast on my tractor, rears are empty, only ballast I have is a ford rear blade with 2 cinder blocks on top lol. (300lbs maybe)
The heavy duty box is about double the weight but it’s also almost double the $$$.
My tractor is around 5300lbs with cab and FEL. I would really like some rear wheel weights but they are $950 or so on EA website. I’m not made of money.

WW is a reasonable addition about $125/55 gallon drum. What I found is that too much wheel slip can wear out the tires which can cost you much more money.

I understand the not made of money part really well but with the rears filled you’ll get more out of you box blade also.
