Here's a pic of my King Cutter Med duty Hinged Back Box Blade. I use it all the time and haven't broken anything on it yet....

JohnK,
Usually the paint is the first thing to go, then something else tears up.(*but not always) Let us know when you get the paint gone, and we will see how long it takes from that point, lol!!!

Since I am a novice tractor operator fortunately I had a good dealer who advised me to spend a little extra and get a Woods Box. In my 3.5 acres of trees and stumps I have whammed the box and tractor to a dead stop on more stumps than I can count and the Woods hasn't bent a bit. I think the cheap brand was about $300 and this woods was $450 or so and I could not be happier.

At least I am not the only one. As for reinforcing it too much, I don't think anything I did to the blade would have damaged the tractor if the blade was "Indestructible". The worst was first damage which pulled a scarifer through the mount. It hung on a tree root and pulled the tractor to a stop. I was in 4th gear mid range at about 1500 rpm, and about went over the front of the loader. I didn't even realize the scarifers were in contact with the ground, and I was dragging the entrance road to the property so i was obviously not planning to find any tree roots.

I think there is some definite room for improvement in the design, and I seriously doubt I could hurt the 3pt with any of the stuff I could do.
