3-Point Hitch Converting cat 1 to cat 2....box grader

[oosik]

Yes, fruitcakes, my Land Pride RB 3596 was class I. It was FANTASTIC for snow removal on my driveway. However - after spring rains and my driveway sets up as concrete - a totally different story. Realistically, it was not even heavy enough to become damaged. Great sparkler light show in the evening - that's about all it was good for.

So - in that rare, almost non-existent event in this part of the world - a used implement of homeowner size was sold. It went so FAST - the first caller off Craig's list offered $50 over asking price if I would hold it for him. He was there within an hour - it sold for $50 over asking price.

I now have a ClassII rear blade. Rhino 950 - 96" & 1100 pounds. It cost a bloody fortune, new, but will do summer maintenance on my mile long gravel driveway. My tractor - 2009-Kubota M6040 @ 10,100 pound with grapple and rear blade attached.

The box blade was given to me. I thought I’d use it before purchasing a class II. The blade is 5.5’ and my m7060’s rear tires sit at 6’ in width. In moving it around, I’d guess it weighs 500-600 lbs. I had been looking at a Land Pride BB3584.

Unless you are going to do a lot of grading it will do fine

Take it easy, keep throttle down, and what you have will work fine. Just take your time. Enjoy. Merry Christmas
