Default Re: 6' Box Blade for JD3120 too much?

QH is just short for Quick Hitch, like the I-Match.

There is NO guarantee that your new BB (Box Blade) will fit. The I-Match follows ASAE code for pin spacing, but few company's actually follows this standard (Frontier IS definitely one that DOES), especially companies that sell lower-end cheaper attachments.

Me and many others have written volumes about this topic, and every time it stirs up opinions that all over the place!

Sorry to have made you unsure now of your decision, but I wanted you to know the possibility's.

Try searching for some post's about it, use these terms to get you started:

imatch
i-match
asae


Also, here are some things that I have written:

ONE
TWO

Hmmm, well I will be checking that out before I pay for it. My dealer is pretty good about returns. I ordered the Imatch at the same time so I will wait for both of them to show up before accepting them. Thanks for the tip kenny.

The new BB showed up today, I measured it up to the ASAE specs and it is very close. The 15" height is bang on, just the width is slightly narrower. So I will wait until I get my imatch before I use it. Looking forward to trying out the box blade. Thanks again for the heads up on ASAE there kennyd.

Hi Kennyd. I installed my imatch today and tried the Westward box blade on it. It all fits! I read up on all the information you gave me on the ASAE standards, thanks for the information. Good reading as a few of us are looking at taking an old 24 ft cultivator and making three out of it. I have all the proper dimensions now. Only got to try the box blade for a few minutes on my driveway and it seems to work very well. Will try it out on my next days off.

Good News

Glad everything is working out for you
