There have been lots of questions about Box Blades lately and the lovely Mrs_Bob asked me to go to town yesterday so I made a couple stops on my way home at a couple dealerships to do a little photo comparision of Box Blades.
ALL OF THE BOX BLADES are manual adjustment blades, I didn't want to include any that have hydraulic control for the scarifiers because that is a differnet class of blades.
I took 3 pictures of each, I tried to show a front picture, a side picture and a detail picture of how the scarifiers adjust. All the photos were taken with my camera-phone so some are a bit rough.
The first Box Blade is one of my MIDWEST EQUIPMENT blade. This photo shows the side. Midwest is the only company I know that makes
a trapazoid shaped side plate with the bottom edge sloping upward from the back to the front. I like this feature as it allows for the blade to be tilted forward without the side plate digging into the ground, most other brands just have the corner cut back about 2" or 3".
