CK2610 and Box Blade

[cphilip]

I've got a 60" land pride to use on mine and it works well.

Wondering how your 6ft BB works on your CK2610? I am looking at getting a BB very similar 496lbs and have the exact same tractor Just wondering if it is to much for the tractor or not?

Asking if a 26 HP tractor will handle a 5 or 6 foot BB is pretty subjective. I think most people can run a 5 or 6 footer on a 26 HP tractor and be just fine, given the right conditions and use. I ran a 4 foot BB on my 2305 and ran out of traction before I ran out of HP to drive the wheels. The biggest thing is how much weight you can apply to the ground. In contrast, i have a 6 foot BB that weighs around 650 lbs, my tires aren't loaded and I have no weights. My tractor pulls it just fine in low gear, and that's with an HST trans.

I think the BB on my ck4010 is 60”. My tractor has a cab and loaded tires, but is still too light to pull it real well. I can certainly stall the engine if rpm is too low, but mostly it’s traction limited.

Yes, I think my next "mod" will be to load up my tires. I have a ballast, but I can't haul the ballast and the BB at the same time.

I run a Woods BSM72P (72"). Not cheap but at 680lbs I am also using it as ballast

Probably the maximum width you want on a CK2610, it struggles a bit for traction with a box full of sand in slight uphill inclines (needs the diff lock). May be better with loaded tires. I just take smaller cuts. I wanted the wider blade so 2 passes would do my 12' wide laneway.
