    Something you want but can’t get or afford.

    Ho boy, so many to list... but to narrow it down to can't obtained would be between a arena for the horses or a excavator, I can see myself to be able to buy one or the other but both 😬

    I understand that, but often you are too honest and it just turn against you. Like for examples, for snowmobiles they sell luggage's rack for the tunnels and folks overload it and the tunnel breaks when they hit a bad bump, don't show up at the dealer with all your stuff still on it.

    6' Box blade too big for tractor that was purchased with a 6' bushhog?

    I don't get it, a 3 foot box blade can put as much strain on a tractor if you hit something solid then a 6ft, plus hydro static, worse thing it going to happen is it will stall or spin. I would suggest your friend to go buy his box blade somewhere else... A friendly note: Never be too honest...

    What can it tow

    Lift capacity should be fine at around 1500# (15% of gross weight), it will extend the hook up a few inch back vs on the trailer drawbar... more importantly you will most likely crank that trailer pretty hard to fit it in place (assumption) and that will put lots of lateral pressure on the 3...

    I would personally agree with the following Antique Snowmobiles: Models from the 1960s or earlier. Vintage Snowmobiles: Typically models from the 1970s to early 1990s. Classic Snowmobiles: Used to describe models from the late 1980s to early 2000s.

    My first one as a kid was a old Olympic, the first sled I ever drove, we had to lift the ass end and put gas in the carb to start it, One day my dad fix it, and just to try it he put regular gas in it then he forgot and said lets go at it kids, we did 300 yard and we blew it up of course ...

    you are right for thinking that since OP has mentioned that idea...

    Well one can do one or the other depending on your goal, my reasoning is to not restrict flow during flood season and reduce erosion on the desire bank with minimum effort or work... the issue with full width is water can erode on the extremity of the dam (on one or each side) during high flow...

    Gully through the property

    I would do a series of dikes from the bank to the middle of the gulley (only half of its width) in the outside corners where the erosion is a issue, that would avoid further erosion on that bank and add sediments behind them adding soil. That be a simple and easy solution.
