Grading BX25 workhorse

[SEB92]

Started grading the dirt around my new shop this past weekend! I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the BX did the job. I think it would have went faster with a box blade rather than the rear blade I had on. Will probably end up picking one up, is 5ft too big for a BX25? Here are a few pictures as work progressed. Ill add more as I continue work on around the building. If anyone has any suggestions on other ways to level besides blade or box let me know! Hope you all enjoy!

Fine looking shop ! ! I'm jealous.........:drink:

Nice work.

I'd say 5' is too big, it's not the box blade that get's to heavy it's the load it picks up. With my 4' the tractor wants to keep going but it runs out of traction once the box is about 3/4 full.

That's what I assumed would be the case. Lots of 5'+ on CL. Guess its an excuse to buy something else new. Will the box do a better job than my rear blade? Thanks the shops been a long work in progress! Just about got it wrapped up!

If your moving dirt it will work better, if your trying make a grade I think the blade would be easier to use.

To me the boxblade is one of the best al;l around implements going. It'll dig, it'll add counter weight for FEL, it'll level out to an extent land and practise helps. To finish off land for seeding, after digging, moving and basic leveling then the RatchetRake is hard to beat and especially for the price. It also has a few extra uses.

Great looking shop! I just started clearing bush for mine!

I have the Land Pride BB0554 box scraper which is 4 1/2 feet and it works great with the BX25. Would highly recommend it or the BB1554 which is a slightly heavier build but was sold out when I went to get mine.

Stay away from a king Kutter xb or the little 4' at tsc. With the 3PH all the way down the box blade is just barely on the ground. I think that box blade is for a limited cat 1. The heavier (lbs per ft) the box blade the better it will do.

I've had the King Kutter xb box blade since 2006 on my bx. I would recommend it. Mine has worked great. Graded my hillside for 100 tons of boulder walls, grades ATV trails through the woods and many more projects around my property. No problems with contact on my bx2350

My Kubota dealer felt that the 54 inch was too big and that I should go with the 48" land pride. Has both in stock. But wants $678 seems pretty high priced. Really wish I could find a used one. Is that a fair price?

Looks like great work! I got a long way to go if I wanna yard like that!

Back the tractor up on some 4x4s and see if the boxblade will touch the ground with the 3PH all the way down.

What model box blade?

BB0548. Said that the 54 would not be as effective

My dealer recommended the BB1554 as it was the heavier duty version of the BB0554 but they were backordered so I just took the BB0554 to go with my BX25. I'm very happy with mine and I would not consider going any smaller. I've had no issues pulling a full box of material. I"ve used the box to breakup hard rocky ground with no problem so I'm not sure why your dealer is pushing you toward the 4 foot model!

The wider box covers the tire tracks effectively and if you install the tire spacers at some point I think you'll be glad you went with the wider box.

The BB0548 is the 4 foot model

Sorry, my mistake...was referring to the BB1554 and the BB0554 both 54" models.

I have a rear blade for my BX and can't really do crap with it, except use it for snow removal. I just back drag with my end loader and that works best for me.

I spotted a major problem with your new shop, you built it in the wrong place, it would look much better at my place. It looks very nice!

I like this box blade better, it weighs more and it is less money.
