I have lurked in the shadows here for a while to get some knowledge of what I am buying.
I just bought a '89 John Deere 855 from the college I work for. It is 2wd and has a 72" belly mower. It has really low hours on it as they hardly used it. It is in great shape and has all the maintenance records. It was always kept inside.
I am trying to size a box blade for my driveway (will be about 800 ft) at my new property and also to level some ground out. According to the specs on the 855 it is 51.3" wide. I am trying to decide on the 48" box blade or the 60" box blade. Any experiences or recommendations?
I am also looking at a rear 3pt "dirt scoop" for a poor mans FEL. Really all I want it for is to move around small amounts of dirt/gravel and I don't want to move the stuff by hand. Do I want the 30" or the 24" scoop?
