If I had a choice, I would rather the 1572. That is only because of the weight. I understand your concern. I had the same concern. the 1272 is rated up to 30hp. HOWEVER, they say it is matched to the BX, B, LX, and L series. My tractor - L4701. Also, on the Kubota website, it says the BB15 is 40 hp, but matches it with B, LX, and L series. Interesting.Hey All,
I'm waiting on my L4060le to be assembled by the dealership. Among the implements I've ordered is a box blade. The dealer built it with the Land Pride BB1272. After looking into it, Land Pride shows it's rated for tractors up to 30hp. so I emailed Land Pride and they said they would not recommend that for my tractor but would recommend the BB1572 instead as it is a thicker gauge steel. Dealer says they have guys running the 1272 on MX series tractors (over 50hp) with no problems. So...who do I believe. Seems like the dealer may be trying to sell what they have rather than the right tool for the job. But maybe not. Anyone have any input?
Thanks in advance
That seems to me like an out the door offer.You’re probably going to run into an availability problem with the heavier one.
I ran into that when buying a landscape rake for my 40hp Kioti CK4010. Ended up with a Kioti branded /Woods manufactured medium duty rake only rated for , I think, 30 hp.
I needed it for the summer, though, and couldn’t wait the 12 to 16 weeks everyone was quoting for a more capable rake.
Worked fine this summer, and I doubt I will care in twenty years.
Not many 90 year olds use their tractors regularly...
Besides, the dealer said he will buy it back if I bust it up. Wonder how long that offer is good for?.
