Homier box blade.

[mainiak1]

Does any one own one? Any regrets? I know they aren't
as heavy as a brand name. They say it weighs 400lbs. I figure I can add weght if I need to. I own a 790 JD but I would like to lend it to my father inlaw He owns a Ford 3000 industrial two wheel drive gas approx. 40 HP. He will be touching up a driveway, I want to smooth out some rough
spots in my field.
Thanks in advance!

I have one. At $249.99 it was a bargain.
No regrets- it has performed flawlessly maintaining a 1-mile camp road for about 50 camps.

I agree! It's one of the better items at a Homier tool sale.
There's lots of junk there, but I've had great luck with my box blade. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Between the last two shows i've seen in my area, homier has changed their implement line.. the box blades and mowers look great. The box blade reminds me of the red KK line.. and the mowers look generically like a woods... weird... guess they are stepping up a bit.

I'm still waiting for a 5'+ Rotary from them! I sent them an e-mail and all they said was no they don't carry one!? I thought DAAA that's why I was requesting them to carry one! lol

Thank you for the feed back. Homier is having a sale Wed. in Waterville, Maine. I hope they have some of these at their sale. You guys gave me the confidence to purchase one.

Thanks again,

I have one and it was a total waste of money. The welds were so bad I couldnt get the pins to go through the holes. I contacted homier and they agreed to refund me 1/2 my money and I didnt have to ship back the blade. I had some welding done on it but its still a very lightweight unit.

The ones I've seen in the last month are 100% better and different than their previous ones.. almost look like the red KK ones..

Don't want to hijack this thread, but does Homier inform you of a sale/show the day before? They had a local show but they let me know the day before.

Their email notification procedure is poor.
Usually, their folder comes out in the local papers about 4-5 days before the sale starts.
