Box Blade

[PondKeeper]

Does anyone have any experience with a United box blade? I am interested in an opinion based on quality and value?
I can't see it in person before ordering unless I want to wait and I prefer not to do that.

I am looking at a 48" for a Kubota B7500.

Mike,
Let us know how you make out with your choice. I'm also looking into a box blade for brush removal. What is the price for yours?

I bought a united 48" boxblade about two weeks ago. Spent $290.00 for it. So far it has held up well even though I have only used it about 6 hours. I am pulling it with a Kubota L-175. This is the first tractor & blade I have used and I learned quickly about front weights. Wheelies are scary on a tractor, even with a ROPS /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif. I was impressed with the construction of the box and the welds were first-rate. I am seriously looking into a rock-rake next.

Was that $290 for a new one?

I was quoted $350. That's a big % difference.
I'm glad to hear you like the quality.

Thanks for the reply.

Pond,

The blade was listed at $300.00. The dealer knocked off $10.00 because I was buying a boompole also. The box was brand new.
