I have a Cammond boxblade for my mower that is well built and available in 48,54 and 60" widths IIRC. I bought the 48" model but I looked at the 60" and it is very similar just wider.
That Cammond is about the weakest looking BB I have ever seen. Absolutely no bracing between the front pull point and back blade other than the side plates. Not even a cross brace from the 3 PH to the back. I have a HOWSE heavy duty model about 3 years old and I pull it with my 70HP tractor. Weakest link is the scarifier teeth which bend and break when hitting immovable objects like large rocks similar to one in my Avatar. I have broken 3 teeth on it and bent them a bunch of times that were able to straighten back. It also has 2 bars welded between the front support for the scarifiers and the back blade to tie the front and back together.
Thought I would bring this thread back to the top.:laughing:
Still think Gannon knows more about designing boxblades than Gary does.
