What Size box blade?

[RobJ]

With my L2500 (about 28hp, 2400#) I'm first thinking a 4'. It'll get used in some sandy loam bot also plenty of clay. I just started thinking aobut the 5' but it might be to much. I'd rather get a more usable 4' than overload with a 5'. A 4' won't cover all my tracks but I'll take that over one that's to big for my tractor. I will be using it to dig and move, not just grade light stiff.
Thanks,
Rob

I'd go with the 5' myself. For many of your applications, you'll be able to use it normally, and in some cases, you may have to take smaller bites, or boxloads, or maybe lift a couple of rippers out of the ground, but the 28 HP should be able to handle it.

A heavy duty guage box may be pretty heavy, and the Kubota is not real weighty, but I still think you'd be happier with the 5' light to medium duty.

It's aggravating not to be able to get the end of your box up against walls and fence lines which you'll experience with the 4'.
