</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The side plates are rectangles for the most part. The front edges have a little shaping to them . . . your thoughts on the endplates? I'd love to hear your opinion on them. )</font>
I prefer the trapazoid shape found on some brands. Midwest is one that has them. The reason I like them is when you tilt the boxblade so the front is lower than the rear, the rectangle endplates can act to lift the box blade in hard clay or clay/rocky ground. The front corner of the endplate then is actually working against the scarifiers that are pulling the box blade down. The end plates, being thin, don't offer as much force as the scarifiers, but when they thit a rock they bounce the blade up which is counter productive.

Danny that appears to be a very light duty blade, the top link connection and the lower link connections do not appear to be very strong. And those areas are pretty critical on a box blade. How old is it? Your GC2310 is a small tractor, but box blades can be subject to a lot of stress. I've honestly never seen that design, perhaps someone else here at TBN is familiar with the brand.

I Suspect it is old.
It is thus pretty good steel.
It is a good capacity. It is 18 inches high moldbord.
Both blades are curved.

Can someone tell me how to include an attachment where there is the link to click on like you are doing on this thread? Everytime I put on an attachment I end up with a giant picture in my post. I just bought a World Agritech Corp box blade and would be willing to attach pics of it to see what your opinions of it are.

roxynoodle,
Are you posting a picture from your computer or from a host website? If from your computer, click on the little paper clip on top of the reply box or on manage attachments below the submit/preview post tabs. A new window will pop up and it allows you to load a picture from your computer. The image name and symbol should show on your post as an attached image. (see below)
If using a host website, there should be a checkbox nest to the picture (on your host website) that you can check and then scroll down to the bottom and generate HTML and IMG code and click that. Then a new window pops up and copy the part that says "IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended" Then paste it into your reply and it should come out as a thumbnail to click on like this:

That is what I'm doing but I keep ending up with these giant pictures in my post. Can't figure out how to just make a link people can click on. Oh well, here is the boxblade to critique. It is a 4' BB and the sacrificers need to be adjusted with a nut and bolt, which is a pain but I thought it looked better quality than KK.
