    Scraper vs box blade

    I'm having a hard time finding a used box blade but can find scrapers....can you remove dirt with a scraper? I'm thinking scrape to a pile then use FEL? I'm also thinking the scraper may get more use.....smoothing pastures, scraping manure from run in sheds, etc. Thoughts?

    Thoughts on BRANSON tractors....

    I don't see much about them on here.....What are your thoughts on them. Looking at the literature, they sure seem to be ok. Are they worth looking into further or should I stay away from them? I noticed also they had the different series' in the same hp. Looks like frame sizing/weight...
