B2920. What box blade?

jakell2010 · Sep 7, 2011

Can I go with a 6' or would that be too much weight

The weight of the box blade itself can vary significantly depending on how heavy duty it is. I have a 5' Bush Hog brand box blade which is pretty heavy for its size, about 500#. I am sure there are a lot of 6' ones that weigh less.
But the issue is more can the B2920 make good use of a 6' box blade when you are pulling it. If you are just moving loose material, maybe, but certainly I can stop my 2920 using the 5' box blade when trying to break up the drive way with the scarficers down. You will loose traction if it is pulling much of a load. Then you have to raise it or lengthen the top link to be less agressive. Many people use a 4' with the B2x20 tractors. I would not go bigger than 5'.

I have stopped my 2710 with a four footer, as KU Gator mentions it depends on the material you are trying to move.

Six foot is to big!!!!

The tractor is very light. You'll run out of traction long before you run out of horsepower on the 20 series and doing ground engaging work.

I use a 48" Woods BB on mine, and find it well matched for the tractor.

If it were me I'd go with a 5'-er,and make sure it covers your tracks.
Around here 4' box blades are real hard to sell when time to get rid of them,just like a 4' bushhog.Also a 5'-er will be better balast when needed.

I think that you should be looking at a 54" unit, but for sure nothing wider than 60". I have a heavy duty 66" roll-over Gannon that I use with my 3215 Mahindra. The ballasted tractor weighs in right about 5,000lbs. When conditions are just right, it will stop the tractor. Your tractor is a lot lighter than that, you should really be looking at a 60" or smaller for your tractor.

Good luck

The tread with, depending on tires, is around 49". It's nice to think about covering your tracks with implements, but really, most 48" implements can do that. Can one really fuss over 1/2" per side? I suppose so.

Yes, 54" implements are ideal for this size tractor, but I've not had a whole lotta luck finding common, everyday, affordable sources for 54" stuff. Just sayin'.
