Top o\' the Line Box Blade
Just got my box blade back from waranty repair. They replaced the square tubing that raises and lowers the scarifiers. That tube and the two arms that support it and let it swing both bent. The tube was bent slightly up in the center and the two arms bent near their pivot points. They bent enough to chip the paint off.
The attached picture is after about 4 hours use yesterday, some of which was in a light rain. No rocks, just dirt. I pull this behind a Kubota L4610HSTC. Note that the left support/swing arm is bent again and the square tube is bent again, just more so than last time and in the opposite direction. Seems like a real quality box blade except for the hydraulic raise/lower part.
My salesman (Kubota dealer) saya you should be able to raise and lower the scarifiers while box blading without damaging the equipment. What do Y O U think?
