Dirt Moving Tooth Bar Advice

My vote, Box blade, cheap like this one:

Box Blade 6ft Like New - farm & garden - by owner - sale

Looks like new. Only question left is whether a 6' box blade like this is too wide for my B2410 with 24 HP? Driveway is a sandy loam that has been packed tight from years of driving over it.

It is, I thought about that afterwards... Do you have AG tires, that would help. It also only has 3 teeth. Not sure how hard it would be to cut a couple more sockets into it.

I would be tempted to buy and list it for trade for a smaller one ???

Tires are R4. With only 3 teeth, it might pull it, but that means more passes. Weighs 450 pounds.

Any more thoughts or comments?

Agri-Supply in Gardner would have more teeth, if you're able to add them... You could just use two teeth, pull the extra one out. With the soil type you have down there, you might be able to use it with caution. Worst case it stops the tractor, pick it up a little and carry on. Does your tractor have 4 wheel drive? If it's 2 wheel drive, forget about it and keep looking.

UPDATE: Your tractor is only 1500 lbs... you'll most likely will just be spinning your wheels - do you have a FEL? that will help a little... Like I said maybe buy it and trade for a smaller one.

It's 4 wheel drive. I may bite on it and see what happens. Worst case scenario, it will not be what I need. Sell it and try something else...

Update: Yes, it has a front end loader.

NC419N, please excuse my lack of knowledge. Can you please explain what you mean by "a BX Expander bolt in front bucket blade"? Thanks!

Well I decided to go with the Construction Attachments extended tooth bar that bolts over the existing cutting edge. Had to do some measuring for them but no big deal. Ordered from EA. Should be here in a couple weeks. This thread really helped me decide:

Well, I have one ordered! Hopefully it will be just what I need....

Thanks to all who commented.

Came in yesterday and got it installed. The bar went right on and fit perfect. No grinding no cutting.
