Box blade decisions

[GirlWhoWantsTractor]

My neighbor has been doing my driveway for me. He has a very old 2wd tractor with a old box blade that is not adjustable. A few passes and my road looks as good as new

Then I'd buy a BB as close to his in weight, size and design as possible.

How often does your neighbor need to do this?

Dont underestimate those old Ford 8n. Think about what it took to farm with them.

Not to mention there close to 100yrs old and still going. That was a big tractor back then.

Roughly every 6-7 months.

Anyone use a bigger BB that is pulled by the drawbar like this one?

New 7' Box blade - farm & garden - by dealer - sale

If a person had a hydraulic cylinder instead of the strut for adjustment, it seems it would be great for larger jobs.

After looking more, I see it has no provision to change the side to side angle either.

Looks like it for an atv

It's much larger than the atv units.

Just remove the angle iron and put on a hydraulic cylinder:
