Just an update -- thanks again for the great advice (I love these forums!). Picked up a heavy-duty 84" BB today , and you guys were right -- it's so much more than the standard 6'. Now to practice using it on my 50 acre playground!

I'm planning to buy a BB this weekend -- is it OK if it is not wider than my rear wheel base width? I'm looking at a 6' blade; tractor is 75" wide. In general, what's a good rule of thumb for box blade width? As big as the tractor can handle? As much as my wallet can handle?

Howdy from Central Texas (near Waco). We're new to farming (50 ac.; livestock, chickens, hay), but loving every minute. Bought an old International 884 with FEL, and it's been a great help. Looking forward to learning more from your collective wisdom!
