BX implements/pricing

jhb · Mar 12, 2006

Does anyone know where I can find on-line pricing for BX-23 implements? I am sort of a tire kicker and only toying with the idea purchasing a few, but don't want to start calling dealers for woods, kubota, (any others?)

Specifically, I am thinking a box blade for the bx-23. I need to get fill and raise the level of my yard, then smooth/slope and seed it. I have a 1/2 acre, but if the box blade is cheap enough, might be worth my while to purchase over hiring or doing by hand.

Also, what size rocks in the soil would negate the ability to use the box blade? I have lots of rocks in my soil, I would like to sift those out too.

TIA!

I'm about to tackle that very project in my 4000 sq. ft. back yard in the next month with my new BX-24 and box scraper. I'll post some pics and let you know how it turns out. My box scraper was $700.

I got a King Kutter "XB" series BB for my BX. It wa fairly cheap (Less than $300) and worked well for what it was.

The XB Series is an inexpensive no-frills line of attachments. It worked well for what I needed.

Sounds like you would be better off renting a landscape rake.

Where were you able to get a BB for under 300.00 That is a great price. And it was a KK as well

Thanks

Try the Tractor Supply Co. (TSC) website for King Kutter prices. They ask you to input your zip code so they can give you the prices at your local TSC store.

I have a 21-HP Kubota B7510HST with the LA302 FEL and a 48"-wide KK box blade. I'm doing what you're doing, landscaping about 3/4-acre around my new house that's centered on my 10-acre parcel.

Tomorrow, I plan to do a little box blading to touch up the gradng on the West side of the house and then scrape off the turf from the shrub planting areas, weather permitting. Figure I can finish this job in less than 2 hours.

If my memory is correct, I paid $279 for my XB 48" BB. I bought it from a place called Fleet Farm. It's a regional big-box farm supply store. They carry KK and have these products on sale occasionally. (Today I bought a 72" KK Box Blade for my new L3400 for $349 also on sale.)
