Here's a little write-up I composed a while back that will let you know a bit more about our box blades.

More goes into our box blades than meets the eye, substantially more if you really take a close look.
The side plates, hitch and other components are tabbed by the laser. Benefits include precise, uniform assembly and extra, Xtreme durability compared to something that is only welded. The edges are also smooth and rounded rather than sharp and jagged like many economy models.
The side plates normally reflect the age and use/abuse of a box blade. To minimize that wear and increase the life span, we weld extra plates of steel to the front leading edges.
Our hitches, from the lightest to the heaviest, are all solid welded. Yes, it's easy to stack and cheaper to ship a square box with no hitch sticking up in the way, but we feel that a solid welded hitch provides more rigidity and durability.
All EA box blades have horseshoe shaped plates welded behind the bottom of the ripper shanks to strengthen the tube and prevent piercing. Models above the 30-70 feature shanks that are mounted behind the tube, again for Xtreme Durability!
The minimum grade of steel found in our factory is A572 Grade 50, which has a higher tensile strength, shear strength and yield strength than most commonly used A36.
Just a few things that we do to provide you the most for your money; more than you'd think! We've been using US cutting edges since the start!
