I've never used a box blade. I have a 2320 and a friend has asked me to come over Friday to help him put in a bluestone patio in a fairly level area. Another friend has a box blade... I figured it would be good to use the box blade to scratch up and drag the grass, as opposed to trying to cut and scoop the grass out with my loader. I mean, I will use the loader to remove the piles...
Just wondering if this is an appropriate use of a box blade? Or just an aggravation and a waste of time (I would have to travel to two friend's houses, offload the tractor, hook up the box blade, reload - twice, since there's the return).
His place is clay, mind you. So, it's dense. And I have turfs on a 2320. So, I'm not working with a lot of power to simply say the loader will do it, "no problem" (mind you, the 2320 really hasn't let me down before).
