Box Scraper Box Scraper / BoxBlade Choices?

The often given advice of adding weight to a light implement lets it do the work of a heavy implement, while still having the strength of a light one. Not good for durability.

MLjenkins, here is a pic of Woods new P-model box scraper, seen at a show and it looked good, built nice and straight.

I just purchased a Everything Attachment 60" box blade and I personally would not recommend buying this brand, when comparing implement you need to look past the specifications and extra features that they are adding to their implements and factor in the experience behind a company building them. Known brands who have been in business for decades have a ton of engineering experience and patents and testing behind their products, so just don't compare specifications, factor in the support and experience behind the known quality brands like Woods and other well know companies.

The Everything Attachment 60" box blade I purchased was welded so crooked and warped and the blades plow bolts holes were so over drilled that the square shoulders of the plow bolts extended past the back of the blades into the back plates. The blades are not even parallel to one another, when the front blade sits semi flat on the ground the back blade is on an angle to the dirt,and Vice versa. All the extra reinforcing they do to the (v) where the blades mount is overkill and warps the heck out of the (v) resulting in curved blades that are not flat to the ground. I was thinking I could shim the blades to make them straight but after mounting them and setting the box scraper on a flat piece of plywood it appears that will not fix the problem.

I recently went to the World AG Expo and looked at many well known brands of box scraper and they were all straight and parallel. If I could do it over again I would gladly of spent an extra $300 or $400 more and have an implement that would be functional as it was intended.

Travis with Everything Attachments has already offered to refund Catman 8 for the box blade and the powder coating he had done to this box blade. I don't see how he can rail on Everything Attachments with this offer of refund. I am not part of Everthing Attachments or trying to represent them in any way. Travis posted this offer in a thread that Catman 8 had started a couple of weeks ago.

That sounds like perfect service.

I tried to buy a used mower this week, a RFM,,, the PTO shaft was missing.

The dealer (it is a BIG dealer) agreed to sell me the mower,, THEN get a pto shaft.
He was not willing to obtain the PTO shaft before purchase.
I was a little hesitant of buying a used RFM,,, that I could not hear first,,
especially after reading about all the gear box failures,,,

I passed,,,

Interesting!
If that is the case, I wonder why also.

I remember that offer too. Apparently, Catman would rather keep it and b!tch about it than get his money back and go buy something else.
