Hi All,
New to TBN and have been reading with appreciation for the great knowledge shared here. I just recently purchased a JD 4400 HST with 430 loader and have been having a ball here in NE Florida. We are clearing overgrown land and want to level some areas. I found a cheap used box blade and figured I'd modify it rather than put out the bucks for a new landplane since used ones are rare. The end product can be used as land plane or unbolted to use as the original boxblade. It cost me a couple hundred in metal froma fab shop but could be built cheaper with a little scrounging. The adjustable link allows height adjustments and if raised all the way up, extra weight on the boxblade. The rear blade is 6"x 6"x i/2" angle and the rear tube is " schedule 40 pipe.
