4' Box Blade on ebay what do you think?

[mswlogo]

A woods 48" (light duty) GBC48 is about $600.00

I was browsing for a used one and stmbled into this.
This new one on ebay is $320.00 and seller has great feedback.
Yeah it's probably a china import but it looks pretty beefy and weights slightly more than the light duty woods.

What do you think?

The ad says made in USA ? It does look like a good deal, how far are you from Dublin, Ga. ?

The e-bay ad says, "Made in American" which is nice.

I got a lighly used 6' box blade for $200. a couple of months ago. You might want to try craigslist.com. I think used is the way to go since box blades are pretty rugged things. I love my box blade and use it a good amount.

Happy hunting.

Thanks but a 6' is too big for a BX24.

It's a fixed shipping cost of $125.00 any where within USA. So it comes to $445.00 delivered.

One advantage of the woods is it has a reversable blade. I don't know how important that is.

I did check craigslist once but will check again.

it says made in america, and also says;

'As the direct importer, we save you money...in time and dollars!

We have been importing quality Italian manufactured farm equipment for over 10 years.'

what about that?

Another thing, the name ( MURATORI ) is Italian like his other products

Since someone pulled the eBay link, I'm not sure which seller or box blade you're looking at but maybe this will help. There are a couple of box blades I've been looking at for our 6100. One seller (esctpwr1) has a United 4' with reversible cutting edge for $325 BIN. Another seller (thesmartfarmer) has a 4' box blade, also with a reversible edge for $299. He doesn't list a name but sells a lot of Leinbach equipment that color.

HTH,
Mike

Oh, didn't know about the rule on links.

I saw the thesmartfarmer one but it was pricey to ship. The one from redroverd has a fixed shipping cost of $125.00 to ship anywhere in USA.

The one from esctpwr1 would cost $331.00 to ship to MA.
