Hi. I've looked at a lot of worthwhile posts on this site and have just registered. Hope some experienced members can help with this question.
I have a new Kubota BX2350 with FEL, and, not having unlimited funds, want to buy the most useful 3pt implement. Under consideration are a 5' backblade and a 4' box scraper with scarifiers, both from a chain farm supply store. I hope that whichever is selected will suffice to counterbalance the loader when that is in use, because I can't reconcile the cost of a ballast box.
Although it snows a great deal here (Central NY), I don't expect to use the tractor for snow removal regularly. For that purpose, however, I think the backblade would be more useful. I plan to use the loader quite often to spread dirt and once in a while to spread small amounts of crushed stone. Here again the backblade would seem more useful.
I maintain about five acres of fields with a small brush hog, and some areas are extremely rough, having been farmed previously by equipment many times the size of my little 'Bota. I plan to level the worst of these areas as time permits, partly buy regrading where possible and partly with dirt I'll have hauled in.
Any advice and tips for operation would be a great help. Thanks.
