CountyLine Box Blade???

You can't go wrong with a Land Pride. 2. You will not regret getting a hydraulic top link. With scoring the box blade for 5 you should have plenty left for the top link. Good luck and have fun.

Thanks Buckeyefarmer, I have been to the springboro store - only about 15 minutes from the house. What I meant was I am unfamiliar with coupons and discounts that it sounds like others get via email or regular mail. I will ask about it next time I am out that way. Should have been more clear. Thanks for taking the time to lookup the locations for me though.

You have to sign up at the store as a member. The TSC will email you rewards periodically and also coupons.

Thanks,, I did score a used land pride 1560 a few hours ago ( popped up on craigs last night )
I have been watching videos and messing around with it ,, I have hydraulics to the rear so I may get a hyd top link.

I won't need this box blade much so I was happy to get it used for 500 vs the over a grand for the county line from tractor supply
this blade looks pretty stout and has a curved moldboard that the county line did not have

I bought a used land pride over 20 years ago at an equipment rental store. It was beat up and I had to replace the teeth on the rippers, but has served me well for a few hundred bucks.

so this one was well used also and the bars where the blades attach were bowed back a bit and the inside blade was worn down an inch

it took me an hour to get the 14 bolts out of the blades and another three to straighten the mounting area and weld some more triangles in the space between the plates but the reversible blades had never been used, and the back blade had no wear so 3 out of 4 cutting edges are good I wil only need to make 1 mounting bolt out of a carriage bolt and it will be good as new ,, just not as pretty but less than 1/2 price

I am considering the CountyLine 5 ft box blade for gravel driveway expansion and maintanance, to help with moving a LOT of dirt to make a shooting backstop (scarifiers to loosen before picking up with loader), as well as general use around the property. This will be used with my B2630.

I looked at the landpride BB15 60" model and it looked to be not much more of a box blade for a lot more money. That led me to the Tractor Supply CountyLine model.

Before making the purchase, I wanted to get the thoughts of the folks here. I really appreciate all the useful info you all provide for new guys at tractoring like me!

Thank you for your time.

In my opinion they are all steel boxes make for the same purpose, It is crazy what they want for the different colors! i have one buy it they are just as good as the high prices ones that are green and Orange !!

Agreed aside from rolled formed mold boards vs flat or angled on some , and not even sure how advantageous a rolled bold board is lol
but I do think Everything Attachments looks better built than most ( been watching their factory tour videos )

I could barely justify 500 for a used one let alone over a grand ,,

The quality of the build and the quality of the steel would only make a difference if you had enough power to bend it. I have seen a few implements with the side pin mounts bent, which would have been impossible with the through pin mount.

my box blade is old enough it only has the side pin
I thought about modifying it to a thru mount but I will wait till I bend the pin

my land pride also has factory mounts for something on the back of the moldboard and I have not seen those on any other land pride
