HD Box Blade?

[McGeesEquip]

Put it this way, the first thing that I was asked by Dirt Dog was I a Bush Hog brand dealer. If I was then I could not take on the Dirt Dog line.

What exactly is a roll-over? Advantages over a regular box blade?

When the roll-over box blade was designed, there were no hydraulic actuated rippers, top links, or side links. I believe that it was the first box blade that you could change the function of the box without getting off the tractor. You could do it all from the tractor seat without ANY hydraulics. There really is no advantage these days, other than you can still do all the different functions that a box blade does without any hydraulic functions from the seat of your tractor.

Here are a few pictures.

Mtnveiw,

I sure like to receive some information about your top and tilt packages. Please feel free to send me some information.

Thanks,

Dan,

It was nice to talk with you and I appreciate you calling. I hope that you and your family have a nice and safe time at the farm show.

Be careful with that plane.

Thanks,

Here is my roll over box blade.

Here is my roll over box blade.

That looks like the 72" one. I noticed that you have R4 tires. How does your tractor do with the shanks in the ground? Do you get enough traction to pull the box and have the teeth extend 6" or so into the dirt?

It is actually a 65" and it does very well. The overall width is a bit more probably closer to 72", but the box itself is 65" I have 337 acres and use it to maintain my roads. Much of it is shale. I got a good buy on it, $350.00 so I bought it. I would prefer a reg box blade because you could run the scarifiers along with the box blade. With the roll-over you have to use the scarifiers to loosen the ground and then roll the blade to use it as a box blade and move dirt. It was cheap, well built and acts a a great ballast. I have a receiver welded into and never take it off.

I pull my wood trailer with it and it makes a great ballast when moving logs. It is a perfect width for my tractor. I actually think I could pull a 7 foot, but it would hang out past my wheels and be a pain when using it in the woods while cutting firewood.

if weight on the rear end is your concern cut 20 inces off of the bottom of a 45 gal barrel ram a 5/8" steel rod though it at 6" from the top sticking out 5" on ether side. Now fill the barrel with concreat before the concreat sets put in a piece of steel so that it can be attched to the third point arm. That will give you sufficient wieght in back while useing your fel. Not much good for anything else (cept squishing rats and gophers) but works great for a counter weight

I looked at Dirt Dogs site a few months back and wondered if you verify that they manufacture box blades for Bush Hog.

I was just looking at the Dirt Dog rollover. Looks identical to my Bush Hog Rollover.
