Re: King Kutter 5\' Box Blade and BX2200
I have a 60 inch on my B2710. It handles it fine, but occasionally I'll lose traction with a full box. I would not want a wider blade on my tractor and it is (by compact standards) a much bigger tractor than the BX. I think you will be frustrated and disappointed with the results with a 60 inch on a BX. Any BX owners out there that have experience with a wide box blade?

<font color=blue>...The Kubota site shows a 4' in the implements list...</font color=blue>
Why... wouldn't you believe Kubota... the mfr.?
I think you'd be amazed at the strength of "mother nature" if you even used a 4' unit...
You have to realize the limitations of your sub-compact tractor and the original design intent... after enough times of undue stress... something has to give...
Mother nature and the laws of physics normally always wins... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: King Kutter 5\' Box Blade and BX2200
The reason I was asking is because I can get the 5' box blade for 299.00 and it is in stock. I hate waiting for special orders! From the sounds of everyones reply the 5' is too big for this tractor. I guess I will look into ordering the 4' box blade. Thanks for everyone feedback.

I have a BX2200 with a 4' land pride box blade which I think is a good match. I recall reading somewhere that Kubota is recommending a 42" box scraper. A 5' might work for some light duty grading but I'm sure you will loose traction before the box can fill up.

There is now way that your BX is going to drag that 5ft box blade around. I think you will get much much better results with 42in to 48 in boxblade.

Re: King Kutter 5\' Box Blade and BX2200
I have a 48" box blade for my BX. The BX runs out of umphhh before the box gets full. Definitely do not get more than a 48" model. The BX would not be able to do much of anything with a 5' model.
