Sure I can dig it & pick it up with the fel. But it just burys the tractor & I have to dump it & push myself back out. Because the angle going up a 6 foot fairly steep ramp is imposable with that much weight on the front. without digging in. I can take it out a few inches at a time using the box blade & go up the ramp because I,m only dragging the same amount of dirt , Thus not digging in .

Also dragging with the rippers is far less harder on the tractor then using the tooth bar at an extreme angle.

So What works for one doesn,t work for everyone. I just do what I have to do to get the job done with what I have. . Bob

But it would be pretty hard to load a truck or a trailer with a Box Blade to take that soil elsewhere.
