Box Scraper love the box blade

A tractor without a box blade is only half a tractor. :laughing:

The boxblade was my first implement I got. It came 2 years before the tractor and I used it for just about everything. It is definatly a multi purpose tool. I can push, pull, and till dirt all in one pass. I extend the top link and it is excelent for grading ground.

True that....Gale hawkins all major wear items on good boxes are replaceable and the one I did find that was a trade-in was FAR from good shape. I found a total of 3 used box blades over a year of looking. Two of which on craigslist and 72 inch land pride that looked like it had been hooked to a 300 hp tractor and used to push boulders and rip out 300 year old oak tree stumps, bent lift arm pins, side plates bent out, scarifier beam beat out and cracked not to mention the one missing scarifier. Crazy sales guy at the dealer that took the thing in on trade told me he still needed 400 bucks for it. He also told me they all look that way after while....:confused2:mabe he was just slammin' land pride brand because it was at a deere dealer.

Don't forget winter. I use my Gannon on the back and a modified truck plow on the loader. Pull snow from a garage door, push back a driveway sideways, pull slush the plow spreads around. Solid and short counterweight, too. Very useful in the white season.

TnT even better.

I wanted the tnt, but the extra cost made it a bit out of reach; am happy with the top link as a start

I'm learning that working a boxblade is sort of an art form.

Yup box blade is a must have I think you did good there it will get lots of use and imo a disc harrow is a close 2nd both can do a lot of work in no time.

I got a box blade with the used New Holland TC18 that I bought this past fall.
Played with it some but not seriously. Started prepping the drive getting it ready for base this weekend. There is a little soil with lots of limestone. I was using the back blade to level the drive. Today I put the box blade on and set the rippers down just a little. It was doing OK, but then I took some of the rocks that had been pulled on the blade for some weight. What a difference. Now the rippers really get down and rip those rocks out.

Hey those look just like my weights!! Unfortunately when I moved the tractor from Arizona I didn't bring the ironwood log that was my weight back there.
