Rear Blade Craig's List, I scored big time!

This is my latest addition. I lucked out today and picked up a 5 ft Roll-Over for $200.00. Its in good shape just a minor weld on the handle attach point. a little surface rust but that will come off after a couple of uses.

Great find...

With my luck... it would have been bought 5 minutes before I got there.

Now what is this used for is it the same as a box scraper?

Way to go! What a nice lookin' RO boxblade. What kind of gun were you carrying to the holdup?:laughing:

Ive had good luck on craigslist myself. Got a RO boxblade similar to yours for 200 and a Tractor Supply auger for 150 with bit. My latest steal, a pop up hay loader for 300. Looks brand new

They move dirt more efficiently than a regular box blade. When it's filled and you are at your destination you just pull the handle and it releases and rolls over, dumping the load all at once. No need to slow down or stop, just circle around and get another load. Best in loose soil.

I believe you speak of a 3pt scoop. I can push, drag, and break ground with mine but I do not know how to carry and dump dirt with it.

You should be ashamed of youself:laughing: Looks very close to what I paid $300 for and mine was not in as good of shape. You will love this piece of equipment. If it does not cut as well as you think it should, flip the cutting edge and do not mess up the bolts because if you get replacements at JD....well let's just say they are very proud of them.

Its a boxblade? You use it the same way you use any other one, except you dont have to manually adjust/lower each tooth , you just pull a pin or something and back up and "roll it over" then reset the latching mecanism. Now you can use the teeth you see in the back of it that are facing up.

good deal I bought a 6' box blade in like new condition for $250 and thought I did good. But I think you beat me by quite a bit
