CountyLine Box Blade???

[buckeyefarmer]

I would love to find a way to work in any available coupons or discounts but am entirely unfamiliar with TSC. Could you provide a link or any other suggestions on getting discounts on this purchase?

Thank you!

Thanks Buckeyefarmer, I have been to the springboro store - only about 15 minutes from the house. What I meant was I am unfamiliar with coupons and discounts that it sounds like others get via email or regular mail. I will ask about it next time I am out that way. Should have been more clear. Thanks for taking the time to lookup the locations for me though.

Thanks to all for the input! I got the Countyline 5 foot box blade from Tractor Supply tonight. I think it will serve my needs well. The only coupon I could find was a 10% online only discount on any purchase. The manager of the Springboro Ohio TSC was kind enough to honor the discount even though it clearly said online only. They even helped me take the top link bracket off so it would fit in my truck (I have a low cap). Great customer service and they will get more of my business.

There is a lot of slop in the top link holes on this box blade. The website says it is cat 1 but it seems to me that the holes in the frame for mounting the top link to the impliment are really oversized. Is this normal for a box blade or this a manufacturing defect? When the rain stops I will go measure the holes.

The holes on my Countyline 5 foot box blade where the top link pin is inserted appears to be tapered from .95" on the outsides to .87" on the insides.

For reference, I also measured the holes on my Landpride RTR1558 tiller (.755" - .785") and my Landpride RCR1860 rotary cutter (.77" - .775").

The box blade has not been used yet and both landpride impliments have. I assume use will wear some of the paint in the holes off and further exagerate the issue. This seems to me to be very excessive play on the countyline box blade. Or are box blades done this way intentionally? What do you all think?

Thanks again for any insight you can provide. I am baffled!

There are two different qualities of TSC County Line Box Blades. The standard version and the HD version. The HD model is very heavy duty..not sure what the mount is called "saddle"? the regular duty model has an a-frame mount.

First picture heavy duty style.. wide heavy upper mount.. unseen is the captured lower mount pins. Second picture is regular duty...a-frame style upper mount.. open lower pins. If you have lots of rocks a HD model would be better.. but if your land is good soil a regular duty will be okay.

I don't think you need to worry about the size of the top link hole(s). Most of the heavy pulling/pushing is done from the bottom links anyway.

Eventually the top link holes will wear into an oval shape no matter what you do. That will be many, many years down the road and the tractor or cutting edge would be likely to wear out before it becomes critical.

My TSC does not carry a box blade with a "saddle" type attachment and neither does the website show one. They have orange ones (for the SCUTs) and yellow ones (for the CUTs). Mine is the yellow type for my CUT:

Thanks for your input on this. I likely would not have noticed except the BB required a longer pin than I had so I bought an extra long one and the flange on it is pretty small and it actually goes a bit into the hole. I will just buy one with a bigger flange and not worry about it.

Thanks to all for the input. I greatly value your advice.

Huh?.. I must of bought mine before they stopped selling the HD model. Now that I think about it.. I did have to special order it, and I assumed it was a King Kutter brand, it took longer to get than I was told it would. The price was about $300.00 more than the yellow one they advertise now. Here's a poor picture of mine. (it does say County Line on it, but it's a clone of the KK brand)
