I use the Box Blade(Frontier 48") and some leveling with the front end loader. Seams to work good for me.
I always have the FEL attached when using BB for weight on the front, can get a little light.
I never have used a rear blade so can't comment there. Have thought about using one for snow.

The Frontier is rather expensive compared to the TSC brand at under $300. Go and look at several and decide which one you like.
With the Frontier brand I have never had to worry about adding weight to make it work good. It is very heavy.
The Frontier BB is made by Woods, so you might have another dealer option there.
There are plenty of discussions on these in the attachments forum also.
I would not go with any wider than the 48" BB with the 2210, but, probably could go with a 5' grader blade. You want to cover your tracks when grading. The grader blade you will most likely have it angled.

I use a frontier 48" rear blade. It was a tick over $400. I dont think mutch of it on the 2210 as you have no rock shaft adjustment. So when you hit a dip or a soft spot the blade just makes it worse. I use the FEL on snow. One trick I have found is to get in 4wd engage the diff lock and get a running start at it and It get a pretty good job. Overall I like to use my chain harrow upside down to smooth the drive way.

Good afternoon Dave,
Help me out on the rock shaft adjustment. Doesn't this adjustment just keep the 3ph from going all the way down?
Stops at a set adjustment?
If so, why can't you bring your handle back to the neutral position to stop from going down?

Although I'm not a 2210 owner (4600 for me), I use my 72" boxblade for grading, etc. I recently shaped about 60 yards of recycled concrete into a new driveway at our cabin and it worked like a champ.
I use my FEL for snow removal. The float on the FEL works perfectly and I have no problems moving snow with it. I don't know if I'd use the boxblade for snow removal as it won't float very well (not really designed for that).

I think the BB does a good job, just confused with Dave's answer.
He will reply soon.

My driveway gets the same type of ruts you are talking about. The boxblade is the ticket, but it's probably the hardest attachment to get the hang of (or at least it was for me).
I've got a 500 gravel driveway and usually make a couple of passes every 3-4 weeks to smooth things out.
I don't have the 2210, but my tractor is only marginally heavier than yours and I use a 5 foot. Most posts regarding the 2210 suggest that a 48 inch is the correct size. I've used mine for a lot of projects.
