Box Scraper Box Blades

I suggest that you call Travis at Everything Attachments and discuss with him what you want to try to accomplish. Travis is very knowledgeable and very helpful. I have bought several attachments from EA and have interacted with Travis a lot. I am very pleased with my EA purchases, their advice and their service.

I looked at the following: Land Pride, EA XTreme, Bush Hog/ Dirt Dog, Frontier, Buhler/ Farm King, Woods, Behlen, Befco, Midwest/Kioti, Howse, King Kutter and Taylor Way so far lol.

I’m still getting prices in and weights on some of them, I got most of them.

For the money I’m looking at Woods BSS720, King Kutter Professional and EA XTreme, all 72in.

To be honest the EA version looks like a King Kutter with some beefier bits here and there, they are within 15lbs of each other.

I did read all 24 pages of that thread, EA was not compared but I did learn a lot about box blades.

I have decided to order a BB for the 4320, it’s only $200-$300 more than a BB the 455 could run and I can do so much more work with the 4320.

I have a 60" KK I bought years ago at TSC, yea they may not be as heavy as some but it was reasonably priced when I bought it. I never had any issues getting it to do what a box blade is suppose to do, just need to know how to work the top link. I've used the BB a lot and have never had anything fail on it.

I was going to get the Landpride B1572 but I was looking at the EA version and I am trying to figure out the differences.

Not too much diff from box blade to box blade looks like, weight and bracing is important.

Box blades can use a lot of tractor depending on what you are doing. If you are working in roots and my thinking or rocks the more hp and tractor weight the better so I would rather use the bigger tractor. Now if you are not in ground with tree roots or rock and working in tight places the smaller tractor might be better option. But dirt is heavy, to really move dirt it gets old and the fewer trips the better. Also wider box blade will level better than a shorter one. Less seams in the work. You want the box blade to be at least as wide as the outside of the rear wheels so you can cover your tracks but you may not want them much wider to prevent hooking items with the box blade. Do measure the tire bag for the width. Bracing on any is important. For me that is what fails more than the blade area.

Looks like a 78in box blade from everything attachments is in my near future. XTreme line.

BrokeFarmerJohn · Mar 23, 2018

I just got off the phone with Travis, I ordered a 78in XTreme Box Blade and I’m having them paint it green with EA decals on the ends of the blade.

To say I’m excited is a understatement lol. It’s about 4 weeks out because I custom ordered.

We just bought from EA the 84" version of your box blade. Haven't used it yet but we do have it. It is VERY sturdily built.

I just ran across this, when I get some time I'll see if there is any good info on box blades in there. Not much in there about EA BBs that I could see but didn't have a lot of time to read into it. It's 24 pages lol.

I could be wrong but I think EA is not listed because it is an older thread. EA came about in I think 2008ish. And then, I don't think they made their own boxes but now they do. I have mine on order. I was going to go with the Land Pride version when I bought my tractor cause I thought I needed it to get the implement rebate. In the end I didn't need it to get the rebate so I told the dealership that I didn't want it anymore to take it off the bill. Then I turned around and called EA and order it from Travis. (I actually added it to an order that I had placed 2 days prior. I now have 3 implements coming from them and the Speeco quick hitch.) American made and Ted and Peanut make great, informative videos that demonstrate their products.
