What size boxblade for 2516?

[manganos]

I need a boxblade for my 2516. I'm thinking 5' as that would barely cover my tracks. I don't want to buy too small or too cheap of a blade. I made that mistake twice. I have a 42" Woods bushhog that it too small (great cutter though) and a cheapo 5' rear blade I bent running it behind my 2516.

So what is your thoughts on a good medium/heavy duty cutter size? I'll mostly likely go with a Woods with the two cutting edges ...

Thanks!

I run both 5' King Kutter equipment behind my tractor and for the price I don't think you can go wrong with them.

Depending on your soil, a 6 foot or 5.5 foot Boxblade would get the job done. And it will even cover your tracks.

I would go with a good heavy 60" box blade for your 2516. I use a heavy duty 66" roll-over box blade with my 3215HST.

I use a 6' box blade with a 2615 and it has no problem with it. I also use a 5' Rhino rotary cutter with good results. Hope that helps.

What duty of box blade? Light, medium, heavy duty. This info will help manganos. I doubt that these smaller tractors are going to do much work with a 1200lb box blade, but I might very well be wrong. I know that I would not want to be using one of that size behind my 3215.

The box blade is an Atlas (I think it is 50 miles away at the hunting camp). Not a brand I am familiar with but it came with the tractor. It has a sticker on it that labels it as heavy duty but I would consider it to be more medium duty.

A 60" box blade should more than cover your tracks on a 2516. I would think a 60" would be the best choice, and standard to medium duty should be fine also. I don't think a heavy duty should be necessary.

Thanks... I am going to look for a 60" boxblade.

I also like KK. I have a 6' KK box blade with the hinged rear blade. I'm glad I went for the hinged option!
