Box Blade alternatives to EA?

[biggziff]

Just bought a CK4010 HST (came with a loader, backhoe and rotary butter) and a Box Blade is my first needed implement. I called EA and they're 10-12 weeks lead time on anything they sell so I'm looking for suggestions on alternative brands. I'm looking for a fixed tailgate unit, 72". I want something quality so not really looking at the Tractor Supply type brands unless there is one you'd recommend.

Thanks in advance.

I have a land pride box blade. Excellent quality and finish. Im very happy with it. I also have the grapple they make as well, very beefy and works incredibly well. The land pride equipment I have gets works very hard and not a hiccup. Good luck in your research.

Best bang for the buck would likely be a HD King Kutter "pro green", (Blain's Farm & Fleet... 72"= $829) but EA and Land Pride could be slightly better quality.
Tractor Supply, definitely...NO!

I very highly recommend a ROBB as seen here.

The next best thing compared to a box blade with hydraulic actuated rippers.

Woods Equipment makes a solid box blade. My dealer had a couple in stock. Even Kioti orange, not the mustard yellow in the pics on their web page.

Do you own and use one?

That King Kutter looks good. $267 shipping to me, unfortunately.

Anyone have any reviews on Tarter Farm and Ranch brand Box Blades? Local dealer sells them.

Tractor Supply Company sources their CountyLine implements from Tarter.

I would shop for a heavier Box Blade than CountyLine but you know your needs better than me.

He does. So do I.

Most traditional Box Blades weigh under 75 pounds per foot of width.

Most ROBBs weigh closer to 120 pounds per foot of width.

In ground engagement work weight is your friend.
