Got the hitch at Tractor Supply. Drilled a few holes and bolted it right on.

I've got a TSC box blade too. Done a lot of work with it and satisfied for the most part. Pulling the box you will be satisfied and have no problems. Pushing with the back blade edge could be your trouble like it was mine. The problem is those diagonal braces at the rear. They aren't as strong as the ones that go directly back from the top link point to the back (like on some of the other more expensive box blades). While pushing some dirt back that I had just dragged and dropped from the box, I must have hit the ground or caught something and curled those braces up like pretels Ooops! I repaired it by attaching a piece of 2 inch square tube directly back from the top link point to the back of the box. Works like a champ now.

Are the lower hitch pins bent on that unit?
I just got a 7 ft box blade with similar hitch setup and wondered whether the style used on the United box blades (at everythingattachments.com) might have been a sturdier choice.

I haven't had a problem with the hitch pins, but for sure the captured pin type like on the United box will be stronger.

Finally gonna get a chance to make use of the 3PH on my B2320.....after whacking trees and stumping, this baby's just what the doctor ordered for these NH Potatoes (rocks) and tree root debris......I know some will give thumbs down on the TSC brand but this won't get the punishment from my simple projects....

Can't wait to scratch the paint up:laughing:

I have Land Pride, Woods, LMC and KK (TSC) and some so old I don't remember the names, so far all have worked well. I am sure your new BB will serve you well for your intended use; enjoy:thumbsup:
