Getting ready to pull the trigger on a Kioti DK40SE HST w/2nd rear remote. (I plan to install TNT on this tractor.) And now it's time to pick a box blade . . .
I plan to use this tractor to maintain my .5 mile driveway, uphill to the top of the mountain, and to keep open the woods roads that are currently here. I will also be clearing some additional land, so there may be some moving of dirt for leveling out areas.
I have my BB choices down to 3:
1. KK Pro hinged back 72" 550# $1085
2. EverythingAttachments Xtreme 72" 635# $1090
3. EverythingAttachments Xtreme 78" 680# $1137
(The EA Xtreme BBs have a fixed back)
Based on my lurking here abouts, I know the 3 main things to look for in a BB are weight, weight, and weight, so I'm inclined to just go for the EA 78".
But, I have some questions (it's why I come here)
1. Does anyone have an EA Extreme BB? Are you happy with it?
2. I don't think the 78" will be a problem for the DK40 . . . .will it?
3. Given how I intend to use it, is there an advantage to the hinged back BB that would move it ahead of the EA Xtreme, even tho it's giving up 130#. I have read many, many threads on fixed/hinged backs on the BBs and am still somewhat confused about the advantages of a hinged back.
As always, your input will be sincerely appreciated.
