I have a GC2610 and a 72" box blade. If I needed to replace it, I would go with a 60".
You will notice a 5 blade when it is fully loaded with dirt. It come to a complete stop. I have pulled both a 5 foot and a 4 foot. If you are moving dry dirt's or gravel, you will be OKAY; however, if you are digging using the rippers, the 5 foot is to much for some types of soil or wet gravel. It is not a D7 dozer. One spoon at a time. I really recommend a good quality 4 foot blade.
Good choice in my opinion. If you were just going to move gravel and do some light grooming a 5' box blade would be fine but the thing about tractors and implements is that you will often use them for much more in the coming years than what you originally purchase for.
If you've never used a box blade then you're probably going too fall in love with it. It's not a D7 dozer, as mentioned above, but with enough time and patience you can make it look like a D7 did the job
