- (B2620, had BX22) Simplicity Legacy w/48" mmm
The box blade is a Woods 48". I got a pretty good deal on it since it had been sitting outside on the dealer's lot over the winter. It is the GB48 model, and I believe that Woods has stopped making that particular one. I debated getting a larger one, but after using this one some yesterday, I think I'm going to be pretty happy with the size, and weight of it. With the loaded R-4's I could make it work on a firm gravel base, and it seemed wide enough to cover my tracks on the swale I was working on. I have some tight places on some logging roads / trails I'm puttering with, and that was another reason to stay with the 48" width. This is the first time I've ever used one so I was winging it a bit too. They are getting more popular around here, but are still uncommon, and my neighbor (who has a tractor) still had to come over to see what it was.....
