I will be needing a box blade for a bunch of different tasks: clearing area to build stone base for driveway & pad, excavating moving spoils away for a house addition, etc.
First of all, I'm not sure which size. My tractor is a Kubota B9200. It's a compact tractor & weights about 1700 lbs. The outside dimension from one rear wheel to the other is 55". The tires are pretty good size 12.4-16. So at the very least I would think that I want a 60 inch blade. But, would I be better off w/ a 66" or 72", or would these just be too big for my tractor?
Next, I'm not sure on which brand. Tractor supply has the CountyLine 5' for $579. Everything Attachments has the United brand for $499 & King Kutter for $714. Shipping is free for Everything Attachments & I would not have to pay tax. The King Kutter looks beefier, but it does cost more.
Thanks!
