Welding a Reese tube to a box blade

[RadarTech]

I’m looking at doing those to jockey trailers and not have to swap out to the 3PH Reese adapter.. thoughts?

I've seen this done. It works okay.

I started out thinking I'd weld a tube to my BB, but after a few replies, it became apparent that it would be easier to bolt on a hitch. where to add receiver tube to box blade?

Are you wondering how to mount it or asking if it's worth doing?

i did this to my BB so I could move small trailers & wood splitter around my place.
Probably way overkill, but I like to weld.

That's the way to do it. I've seen where folks just welded them to the blade in back and ended up twisting things.

I have receivers added to box blades and regular blades. But I flush mount them on box blades.

Hitch was handy for moving lite trailers around. Welding extra supports and hitch also helps cheap box blades. Use hitch on box blade to store hitch crane. Don’t use the box blade much after the land plane.

Receivers on box blades can be handy for more than light trailers.

Running the rippers all the way down on both of these saves a fair amount of time, and it doesn't hurt that the little 7-footer in the back has its rippers right between the ones on the 8'.

Same with just spreading/leveling dirt...pulling both at once helps.

Go for it. I got a clamp on one I clamp onto my bucket cutting edge for this which works quite well.
