Box Blade Choices

[Mark_in_NH]

Well, I have found just the box blade I want. Picture attached.
Only problem is. It is heavier than my tractor.
Is that going to be a diadvantage ?

Actually, it belongs behind this Bad Boy. Since I can't afford the tractor to tow the box blade, it's back to the drawing board.

Nope, just need more front end weight! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Mike,
3 or 4 of those John Deere hang on weights should do, don't you think ?

Wow! It even has built-in top-n-tilt. You gotta get one of those./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Yep, as long as you keep your FEL on, too. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Atleast I will have plenty of nice deep ruts in my driveway to smooth out, from all the tire spinning my tractor will do trying to pull it. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Don't you mean 3 or 4 John Deeres AS weights? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Welll I have yet to decide on a box blade, I am waiting to receive some prices from my NH dealer. But I did go back to him today and I bought that used landscape rake I mentioned in an earlier post. After reading through the archives on the prices you guys were finding for new rakes, I felt the this one a Landpride RB1572 for $400.00 seemed like a pretty good deal. although it does show some use, it looks to be in very good condition (photo attached) So I now have my first 3PH attachment. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif I also learned that after about 30 minutes of use, that mastering it is going to take some time and patience /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif. I also think that a set of guage wheels will help immensely and are a must, atleast for me. They will be my next purchase.
