Box blades masters...

[EuroYanmar]

Good evening,

For box blades "masters" I have a question :
A good box blade is suppose to have one blade or two ?
(of course I am not speaking about tines but about blades)

Thanks for help.

You can have a "good" box blade with one blade, or two fixed-in-place blades, or a rear swinging blade. They just have slightly different capabilities.

"Good" can mean well-built, or it can mean that it does your particular job well.

Hi Bcp,

Thanks for the answer.
By "good" I mean making the job done easiliy and fast.
If a box blade has only one blade I cannot understand how one can push dirt in reverse.
Here is the one I may be interested in : Rear Box Blade RBB5FT – 5 ft wide | Farm Tech Supplies
I cannot see if it has one or two rear blades...

FTS's ad descriptions here say it has two blades, but I wonder about the two very different prices

Bcp, Thanks,

More than a box blade master you are an Internet master
Both description are identical with two blades.
But...the prices are very different.
One is called "heavy duty", other is called "New heavy duty"...
I will mail them to ask informations.
Could you imagine it is quite impossible to find get a box blade in EC ?
Here these items are unknown.
Dealers only sell rear blades.
The box blades can only be found in UK so I need to order one from there and pay big money for shipping to my place.
I think this box blade is not bad but I have only one concern :
My tractor is 1,80 meter wide and this 5 ft model is 1,50 meter wide.
Don't you think I need to order the larger model ? (1,80 m wide)
