I have a Kubota BX2360 w/ front loader, and 4 foot Howes shredder.
Need to know if a armstrong 5 ft. box blade is too big for this tractor and need a 4 ft. instead?

Hi,

I moved your thread into the Kubota Owning/Operating -- more of our Kubota experts will see it here and be able to help you out!

Thanks for joining TBN!

Welcome to TBN. You'll be able to do some light duty work with a 5ft box behind a BX, but it will be limited because you can fill it with more material than the tractor can effectively pull. You would likely get more real work done with a 4ft because you can actually dig, fill and pull the attachment with a BX-size machine.

If you already have the 5ft box, go ahead and try it, but if you're trying to decide what to buy, definitely go for a 4ft size. The 4 ft size is also a perfect rear ballast for loader work on a BX, and, since it doesn't jut out beyond the width of the tractor so much, it is not as likely to snag something.

I would get a 4 footer. It may be a little smaller but you can fill the box to full capacity and pull it rather than half capacity at a 5 footer.

I had a five footer I had been using on my NAA and used it on mine for a while, but didn't like it and got a four foot. I like it a lot better.

I have a BX 2350 and have used a five foot box blade with my tractor. It will do fine for smoothing the driveway and light work, but if you put the rippers down and really try to move a lot of dirt, it will stop it in its tracks. If I were buying a new one, I would definitely get a four-foot blade.
