Box Scraper

Anonymous Poster · Aug 24, 2001

What is the best box scraper, for the money, on the market? Looking to equip an L3710.

Bob if you do a search on box blades you will find more info than you could read in a week.

But to answer your question any of the big names make a good product. I've got a woods and I'm very happy with it. What kind does your dealer sell?

The Kubota dealer here sell Land Pride. Probably good equipment but twice as expensive as King Kutter. Is it worth the extra money for Land Pride?

Well I own a landpride rearblade series 35, landpride rake and a landpride tiller. All have been tough as nails so far.

I would look close at the quality of welds and thickness of the plates. Thicker plate harder to tear up also more weight the more the better. Another thing make sure it's a fixed rearblade and that the cutting edges are reversable. Just a few things to consider.

Try doing a search on the board for kingcutter boxblade and see what comes up.

Thanks for the input. How do I search this site for boxblade info? I'm not that "literate" on this site.

Bob,

Click on "Search" above. Select "All Forums" to search in, put in your search terms, and then select "All Posts" for the date parameter.

To get you started, click on this recent thread and read it through:

It is a lively discussion that has lots of info and opinions on boxblades.

I think everyone would agree that you should get a box that covers your rear tracks, which for a 3710 would be at least 66" and probably 72", and that the heavier the box the more effective it will be.

If you are looking for quality and rugged construction, here is a box scraper that fits the bill. I've looked at, and personally used, a number of them through the years...including the Landpride.

I settled for a Gearmore unit. I bought the 2G2 model with the top & tilt hydralics for behind my L35. It weighs 850 lbs so it "cuts in" when you want it. You won't be disappointed.

You can find it at:

They are NOT the cheapest, /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif but great quality.

Good Luck,
