Kodiak Box Blade

Makers_Mark · Mar 18, 2003

Has anyone purchased or used or seen or heard of a Kodiak box blade. Got a really good deal on a 65" box blade from Agri-Supply for $277.95. It's 416 lbs and has 5 adjustable scarifiers.

I think I've heard the brand mentioned here before. Do a search on the attachments forum and I'm sure you'll get a hit. The price sounds good.

Kodiak Box Blade

I have a 6' standard duty Kodiak box blade. It stays on my L3710DT most of the time as a combination rear counterweight/bumper. I'm not sure exactly how heavy it is, but it is heavy enough that it doesn't scoot around easily to hook up to the three point. There seems to be a big difference between it and the 4' JBar box that fits my little Yanmar. the only problem I have had with it is that the cutting edge broke off one of the imported scarifiers. Apparently, the small spot welds weren't designed to chisel rocks with. Luckily, I went back over my tracks, found the pieces and welded them back together. Now it's better than before.

I have a 72" Kodiak box blade, and the only problem I have had was bending the lower lift pins. I hit a large tree root that stopped my tractor dead in its tracks. I think I paid about $2 to replace the pin.

Thanks for your comments guys. I was stressing that I just got what I paid for. It's amazing that the prices ranged from $280 - $900 for the same tool. Well, wish me luck. This has been a miserable winter on the east coast and there's a ton of clean-up to do for spring. Last weeks melt-off was the first time I saw my gravel driveway since November - WHAT A MESS!
Thanks again /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I forgot to mention that the lift pins on mine bent also. I attribute that as much to me not noticing that they had worked loose and gained some wobble room as I do to them being lesser quality. I bought new ones at Tractor Supply, coated the threads down with red loctite and torqued them down with my impact wrench. I'll probably have to cut them off if I ever need to replace them, but maybe they won't work loose this time.
