It should be able to handle a six ft.A long learning curve with the box blades but a great tool.

It's only a long learning curve if you want to get the maximum benefit out of it. It's really simple to use as a counter weight for a FEL, to drop with teeth long and take off or raise teeth and drop and take off.
Now if you're concerned about it being a bit more accurate in its performance, then there is some practise involved.:thumbsup:

I would go with a good heavy 6 footer. On box blades, weight is your friend.
It took me quite a while to get competent with one and I am still not where I would like to be. A hydraulic top link helps a LOT and TnT even better.

Love this site to see how implements can be used and how to attach and adjust them. I spends long periods of time watching these videos on rainy or snowy days.

It didn't take me long to get good with my 6 foot blade. I have a 3700SU. I did grow up driving tractors so maybe that helped but It seemed that after a few runs over different ground types I figured it out quite well. The only material I could use more practice with is snow. Didn't grow up with it so its new to me.
And of course a picture, because threads need pictures.

I've got a Box Blade like what is shown above. Its a Professional Series King Kutter - 66 inch. Its a awesome attachment and just love it. I use it a lot for scraping the ground and picking up debris, sticks, branches and making the cleared forest ready for grass seeding.

I've got a KK 48" box Blade for my BX25. It is very sturdy; will last a lifetime. It does take some getting used to, but I get a lot of practice with it. One thing I've never been able to pull off is getting the teeth to dig into the sandy soil I have. It must be a weight thing, i.e., if I added weight to the box blade it would provide more down force to dig in. I just haven't tried yet.
