RK by King Kutter 72" Pro Box Blade ( BB-G-72-RR )

[Bert the Bard]

Hi everybody.
I'm in the market for a box blade.
I have a RK25 tractor.
Does anybody have any experience with this model and how sturdy it might be?

King Kutter implements are generally well made. I have a KK tiller that is built like a tank.
It's relatively easy to assess the quality of a box blade based on material thickness and weld quality.
Tractor Supply implements (County line) are USUALLY well built, but hit or miss with weld quality (imho).

Pulling a 6' box blade with a 24HP SCUT might be a chore, the combination of low HP and low weight is the problem.
I have a 50HP tractor that weights over 6,000#, when my 6' box blade gets ½ full of dirt the weighted rear tires begin to lose traction.

I use a 7ft box blade behind my 45hp tractor. It pulls it great downhill or on flat but if going uphill, it'll stop the tractor and spin wheels in 4wd once it begins to fill. You have to figure, as you work and drag earth around, the ground you drive on becomes loose, so traction begins to suffer. Honestly, go as wide as the rear tires and no more. If I had to purchase all over again, I would have gone with a heavy 66". That tractor would be much happier.

Thanks everybody for the advice and info.

I also have a 6' BB and have used it on a 2wd 60hp, 19hp 4x4 and 40hp 4x4 machine. You just take less of a bite with a lower hp machine just like you would with less traction and a high hp machine.
