Box Scraper Just bought a Landpride RO2572 rollover box blade

[PumpingPete]

My first "dirt-working" implement. Super excited. Still a little hesitant about getting the roll over versus a traditional box blade, but went ahead and pulled the trigger.

Pretty sure that you will like it. Can't remember anyone that has had one say that they were not happy with it. IMO the only units that are better are the commercial-industrial units and I'm not sure that they are really all that much better.

Let us know how you like it after you have used it a bit.

Here are 2 of mine, an 81" & 65" Gannon

MtnView....I've seen your pictures before of your land and road working. That "dirt" that you work sure looks easy to spread....just sayin'. Some TBN members in the NE USA deal with a lot of rocks etc. Kansas isn't so bad, but those NE people have a whole different situation I would imagine. Well, we just have to deal with what we got. PumpinPete ought to have some what easier time of it.

I "second" the comments of MtnViewRanch.

Here are a few photos of my 60" Bush Hog (brand) Rollover Box Blade, pulling dirt, ripping out vine roots, pushing dirt and just out for a ride.

For my uses, I am happy with my Land Pride HR3584, but can see where people would like a rollover box scraper. If I ever come across a really good used one, I'll probably buy it for one of our open station tractors.

I understand that everyone has there own conditions to work with. So are you saying that people that don't have good grading conditions should use something else other than the std type grading implements??? :confused3: There are locations here in California that are nothing but clay and round rocks that vary in size from 2"-12". And I'm talking about 50% rocks with 50% clay. An absolute nightmare to work with IMO, but people do it everyday without anything special. I personally would not own such a piece of ground, but that is just me.

Glad to hear all of the positive comments. It was too cheap to pass up ($650) and I knew I wouldn not be able to find a regular box blade that weighs as much for that price. For the soil comments, we have a lot of rock and clay around here. Don't have to go down to far to find it either.

I bought a used mr3548 myself for 500.00

I guess I should have said my patience was running thin trying to find one!

There are hard to come by. I looked for 2 years.
