Don't know about the 6' but I have the 7' and it is a Frontier BB1284 with hyd scarifier.

Let's see, a lever within arms reach, or get off the tractor and change 6 or 7 pins, hummmmm. Let's think about this one for about a second or two.
If you can afford it, then get it, hydraulic is the only way to go.

It is one of several reasons I chose my boxblade, certainly is convienient. All of the hydraulic tooth bar models are very well built with a large cubic ft. capacity, hinged rear blade and high weight to cut through hard ground.

I guess it comes down to how much time you have on your hands, and how much is your time worth to you. Some day I hope to have lots of time on my hands. Retirement.

But even when you have a lot of time, better to not use it moving rippers up and down.
The other thing I have to consider is that my new rig is coming with 1 remote hyd on the rear. (All I can afford for now) So do I use it for scarifier or a hyd top link? Trying to make best use of tools available here. Experience is the best teacher and I have none with a box blade.
