Which One do you want to know about?
Here are some cell phone pics of the new box blade. Video and high-res pics coming soon...

For those who haven't heard about it, here's some info:

-The one pictured is 96". We are planning to offer it in 78", 90", 108" and 120" widths.
-44" depth, 30" tall back.
-Front tube is 6x6 3/8" tubing.
-Category 2 and 3 Quick Attach compatible hitch.
-Hitch and sides are 1/2" thick with an additional 1/2" plate welded on the leading edge for wear resistance.
-Mold boards consist of two 3/8" thick plates, back to back.
-Cutting edges are 5/8" x 8" viper blades...US made and largest used in the industry.
-Shanks are 1" thick x 4" wide and built in-house. Weld on tips made from AR400.
-96" model weighs over 2,100 pounds. I'll know definite in a little while when we get it on the scale.
-Rated for up to 180hp 4wd tractor or 220hp 2wd.

Ted went right to the top of the scale with this box blade. We will offer boxes in between this one and our current offerings in the future.

This is more than a box blade....It is designed for clearing, shearing and moving massive amounts of dirt. We are going to put it to use soon and see exactly what we're dealing with. Of course, we'll share!!!

Oh, I could totally screw up my driveway with that thing! Still tying to get finesse with my 48 inch blade...

Crap. My kubota is only rated to lift 1998# on the 3PH :laughing:

Serious looking blade though.:thumbsup:

Maybe Ted will make you a BeastyBlade in 48 inch. Heavier units not only work better, I've found they're simply easier to use. I'd love to have one in 72", but I'll wait and see what the 78" weighs.

Like the added support around the rippers, however at this price point and duty rating the rippers should have been a bit thicker and/or had replaceable teeth.

Looking at this thing in person, I can't see anything that needs to be bigger! It's huge....those rippers are massive.

I believe I could pick it up with the Kioti.. But I am thinking my 35 horse tractor would not pull it well:eek: LD1 you would need to stand in the bucket for ballast though.:laughing:

you would need a whole lot more than my 175# in the bucket:laughing:

Yeah the Kioti is supposed to be able to pick up something like 2450 on the 3pt, but I sure have never tried anything like that. I am guessing it might squat a bit:laughing:
That looks like a really nice boxblade for those with tractors big enough to actually use something that large. But I believe that would be out of my league.
