Sams Hoggn,

800 lbs! That's some serious metal. Can't help you with that, but:
There are lots of discussions about box blades under the "attachments" section. You can do a search, or simply look through the pages.

The <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.landpride.com/lp/products/hr35_specs.html>Land Pride 35</A> series will meet your weight requirements. While they may be fair priced, they darn sure aren't cheap.

I purchased a 72" for my L4610, with beefed up side plates. It weighs between 8 and 900 hundred pounds and delivered to my door it was around $1000.00. The shipping was over $200 because I live in northern MI., so the actual price was in the $800 range.

I've been very happy with it, and the scarifiers have been simple to use and adjust. The LP 35 series were over $2000, and the Gill was up around that range as well.

Do a search and you'll find my thread and comments from 04/2001.

I really feel I got a great deal, and the sales people at the company were very helpful and friendly.

I have a 6 foot Monroe Tufline box blade and am very satisfied with it. Check out the specs on their website.

That's what my boxblade looks like(a little dirtier though), but I had them build it with 3/8" sideplates, instead of the 1/4", wasn't much extra and it added some weight.

You can see how those scarifiers work in the picture-pretty easy. It's a great bargain!

Check out the Woods Box blades. Their Gill brand may well fit your needs. The Gill B20 (72" 707#) / B25 (77" 755#) / B30 (84" 790#) are a bit lighter than what you mentioned, but are very well built (rated for up to 80 HP)

Or step up to the Gill SR20 / SR35 / SR30 Same sizes, but weight ranges from 975# to 1100#. Come with manual retractible scarifier bar, and lockable hinged tailgate. (The SR20HD / SR25HD / SR30HD are similar, but weigh about 50# more and have thicker end plates

All of these are built like TANKS! I bought the lighter duty Woods GB72 (72", 572#, rated for up to 45 HP) for use with my NH TC33D (more or less similar to a JD4300) . It's had some pretty heavy use over the last six months with no damage. The units mentioned above make mine look like a toy.

Just thought I'd pass this on....JD makes a Worksite Pro line of attachments and I've seen a picture of their box blade,its 84" wide,looks heavy duty,and is yellow in color!
