Box Blade? Opinions if ya got one thanks

[chopped]

I found this one..

CountyLine® Box Blade, 5 ft. Working Width - Tractor Supply Co.

Wonder if this is a good model. I thought once somewhere said these were King Cutter light duty ones??
Thanks

I don't have one, but ....
395#.
Way too heavy for our B5100 to even lift.
Too narrow & light for the L3240.
Just about right for our B2320 - maybe a bit wide.
What would you pull it with?
I think the mfr for the TSC CountyLine brand varies, depending on where you live.
Sure looks like the KK:

I don't have one but it sure seems like a good deal and the reviews are good.

All of the tractor implements at my TSC in Florida have Tarter Manufacturing stickers on them. My computer show the same TSC BB yours does, but that is not what is on the lot at my local TSC.

What tractor do you intend to pull it with? 4-WD or 2-WD?

R1 or R4 tires? Tire width, outside to outside?

TSC implements tend to be OEMed by either Tarter Gate or King Kutter. Both have a reputation as a decent quality impliments at a lower price point.

If you want lots of weight and top tier quality, look elsewhere, but bring a spare checkbook. But you probably won't go to wrong with a TSC or King Kutter impliments as long as you size it right.

I have a 72" box blade that is painted blue and has LS stickers on it. I bought it from my LS dealer when I bought my LS tractor.

The owners manual states it is a Taylor Pittsburgh Mfg blade. If you do some net searches, you will find that TP supplies implements to several retailers including TSC and KK.

I'm happy with mine. It weighs 500# so it is light to medium duty, which matches its price point. For my general landscaping etc use, it is just fine.

We have a Bush Hog BBX60 5' box blade we pull with Kubota B2710 HST (27 HP). Pulls fine but at only 325 lbs. have to add some extra weight to make it work well. I can hang some of my front tractor weights on the front to rear support bars. Think they are about 45 lbs. each and use 4 of them.

Also have hydraulic top link which gives much better control of cut.

I have the KingKutter 6' box blade (bought used and refurb'ed). I've looked at KK, County Line, Tarter, and the LS labelled box blades. The Tarter and County Line 6'ers are listed online weighing 445 lbs. The KK weight online is listed at 500 lbs (actual weight of mine is 490 lbs). Jaydee claims the LS BB weight is 500 lb. All 4 look very similar in build structure.
When I was looking, I asked a few questions here and was told the implement width should cover your tracks which is why I got the 6'. A 5'er would have been 6" less than my rear tire width.
I know my local TSC store used to sell KK and now sells County Line. The FL store mentioned sells Tarter brand and I suspect they some TSC's also sell Taylor Pittsburg.
It's a good blade but not as heavy as the more expensive H.D. ones.

Jaydee claims the LS BB weight is 500 lb.

Source of weight was specifications in owners manual, not actual verified weight. Should have been more clear.
