Maybe I should sell the thing :duh:

Ok, I've spent some time on this. Probably should not have purchased the box blade before the tractor (even if it was available and at a great price). I was looking at the John Deere 4720 (or the 4520) but the problem is the tire width. This is only a 72" box blade and the 4720 is 92" with the R4 tires. Yes, I could go with the R1s (at a 65.5" width) but that's a super agressive tread that might be bad for finish grading.
Truly I'm not sure why Gannon makes this box blade in this narrow of width (i.e. 72"). I can see their other ones make more sense (i.e. 84" or 92"). It's super heavy and a CAT 2. There are not many 50-90HP tractors that are less than 72" in rear wheel width and a CAT 2 hitch.
But maybe I am missing something here :confused3:
I.
I was just looking on the Kubota website and I dont' see the width but the M62 TLB looks like it might be a good fit.

You're processing the right data. Some tractors allow u to adjust the width. I think there are plenty of options that will work for you.
My 76" Gannon hangs just inches wide on my L5240 with R4s and handles beautifully with cab and loaded tires.
I believe the M62 is about 74" wide, however your right, that would be an excellent match for a heavy blade like this.
I still think the full size backhoe with 4 in 1 is going to do a whole lot better job (and faster) than this box blade ever will.
