Frontier box blade

[thebigc]

I picked up the Woods 65" box blade today. I can't believe how well made and heavy this unit is. My dealer had a 48" used frontier there. There's no question the Woods was the clear choice. I'll snap a few action picks if I get a chance. Thanks for all the replys.

I also had to decide between the Frontier and the Woods BB last fall and once I got over the idea of an orange implement on my 3120 I went with a Woods GB72 and don't regret it.

And with my 300CX out front I never lack for traction even with the BB full of Slate Belt rocks and clay!

No problems with the Imatch. It fits 100% perfectly. The blade is friggin awesome. I got soooo much done last night with it. I'll try to get pics this weekend. No one home to take the pics while I'm working.

Matt T.:

Congratulations on your new box blade ! I am assuming that you purchased the GB65. Use it safely and well. Jay

I'm looking at medium duty box blades now as well. Requirements are 60"
wide, clevis type hitch and 450 lb plus. The choices available locally so far are:

Frontier BB2060 465 lbs $650
Befco BBE-060 470 lbs $825
King Kutter H-BB-60 500 lbs $850

The Frontier is a solid looking piece, and that comes from someone that has pretzeled a 325 lb noname. I'll put in due dilligence for a couple more days but the green leads far and away right now.

I've used a Frontier BB on my 4600 for the last 4 years. I've done most everything with it one could imagine and it's never so much as whimpered. I'd stick with the Green. Good luck!

Pulled the trigger today. Price somehow changed from $650 to $700 (old faded one was gone) but still the best deal. I'll add 2 2" dia x 48" solid rods to the rear to make it bite a little better and be a more effective counterweight.
