Adding weight to an underweight Box Blade (Woods BSE4 Heritage)

[94BULLITT]

Good question. Ill measure it next time its hooked up.

I dont know the exact measurement, but I noticed no difference in max height after adding the weight

Thanks, I'd appreciate it, actually if you could just measure the lift arm pins to to the ground unhooked that would be good enough. I have a king kutter xb box blade and want to get something better. I know with a bx you have watch what you buy because they do not lift real high.

With the BB installed.

C/L of pins ~24" off the ground

Rear of BB 12"

Hope that helps:thumbsup:

Thanks, that does help. If see one on craigslist I'll get it if the price is right. I was worried that the bx may not pick it up high enough like my rake. If you go over uneven terrain it will barely drag.

Suggest you try experimenting on changing the angle of the rake without the cement blocks on the blade. In the longer term that might be a better solution.

All the angle changes in the world make no difference when the ground is hard as concrete. BTDT sometimes you need brute force ie: added weight to penetrate.

Nice work. I also recently added a section of railroad rail to the inside of my BB...what an amazing difference!

Yes, I know, old thread.

Having said that, how about pics of your install? Thanks!

I just saw this thread, Scooby. Nice work. Recently I used my new BB to level a neighbor's back yard for a patio. He watered it down the night before. The rippers and blade worked pretty good in the dirt/gravel mix It is a 54 inch 335 lbs BB. The next day he wanted to go deeper for the base. Now it was getting tough. So I had this 225 lb guy ride on the back edge while holding on to the middle support. That really made a differance in cutting an even depth without the rippers down. Total 560 lbs made the differance. I hope he is around the next time the BB is on.
