Grading Box Blade too Big?

[rtvman]

In this case more bigger is not necessarily better. The extra width your getting will only make it harder for you to maneuver. Sure, your bota can handle the wider attachment but I think you will be better served with the 60". Just my opinion of coarse. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Good luck !

Merlin, I have a B7800 with a 66 Box blade. In fact the reason I have the 66 is almost identical to yours. Now not having used a 60 on the tractor I have no idea how much more the 66 might make it bog down. I know when I was moving wet clayey soil this summer it did stop me or I would spin the tires a few times. Although I wasn't sure whether that was because of the load in the BB or the fact my rear tires aren't loaded.

That being the case, as soon as I took it out to plow snow the first time I sure liked the couple extra inches of width on each side. Made it a lot easier to plow up close to things I wanted the tractor to stay away from. Like the wife's car and the house /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

So, while most seem to be telling you to go smaller I figure you are just fine.
