Hi gang,
I just registered here and this is my first post. I'm very happy that I stumbled upon this great tractor site and I look forward to learning more about tractor stuff here.
We have a hobby farm with 8 acres of pasture and 10 acres of woods with a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees. I bought a new Kioti 45 hp tractor with FEL and BH. I've been learning how to operate the tractor this winter moving snow around (had plenty of that here this winter). I have used the BH to dig post holes.
I want to make trails in our woods for my wife to ride her horses on and I also want to level some of the horse paddocks and prepare a new garden. I have never used a box blade but have read here that many of you like to use this type of implement for many different uses. Will a box blade be okay to use instead of a tiller? Can I also use it in the woods or will it get stuck on roots and fallen branches as I try to scrape out some trails?
I've read here that it is good to have the BB the same width as the tractor. Is that correct? Do you think a box blade is the best attachment to get for what I want to do? Also, is it really as hard to learn how to use as some people say?
