Grading Beaver owners - Which Box Blade

[DonaldE911]

I need a cat 0 box blade to use with my beaver.

I'm building a racetrack in my yard. RC cars not real ones.

What brand do you own... Cost ..

Having a hard time finding a decent model on the net.

Thanks in advance

Cat 0 equipment isn't very common. You may want to try Northern Hydraulic if you are wanting to order online, but don't be surprized if the shipping is 40% of the cost on a heavy item like that. For a tractor the size of the Beaver look locally at some Cat 1, 4 foot landscape boxes and then try a farm supply store like TSC and buy yourself some Cat 0 lift pins and swap them out. One thing to remember with a landscape box is the heavier it is the better it works. Your Beaver tractor should have no problem lifting a 4 ft heavy duty box. If you think it won't, try a light duty box or add front weights to the tractor.

I purchased a rear cat 0 scraper blade from tractor supply co ( northern hydraulics also) for @ 125.00 several yrs ago then made sides for it and added a box to the top of the frame to add weight . I t worked great and was able to landscape a 3 acre building lot with ease . I also made brackets on each side to bolt on a flat 6 -8 foot 2x6 to the bottom which acted as a float. after all rough grading was completed i just dragged this floar around to fine tune the grading and fill in small low spots . I f you e-mail me your fax # I will fax a sketch. ---greg

Just got a Beaver myself, I am simply going to convert my implements to Cat 0 by way of new lift pins - 3 bucks each at TSC. I would recommend getting a 4 ft King Kutter from TSC and switching the pins. Your lift arms should spread wide enough.
