I am a tractor newbie....I have realized that my cheap back blade is about useless for leveling any type of ground. I am in search of a good/affordable box blade. I have looked at the King Kutter 72" from TSC, and a Midwest BB20-72. So far the Midwest looks like a better heavier constructed box blade.
I have a couple of questions on how big of a box blade my tractor can realistically handle. My tire track width is about 5 ft. So I would need at least a 5.5 ft. Could this tractor handle a 7ft? The 7Ft Midwest blade looks built really solid. It looks like the steel jumps from 3/8" on the 6ft box to 1/2" on the 7ft box.
Also, I have read several opinions on options such as a rollover box, or a box with a rear hinge plate, Are these options necessary.
I am planning on leveling off some uneven ground in my yard, and eventually plan on using it for grading and landscaping my new house I will be building.
How are the Woods & Land Pride Box Blades?
Any Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
