My new Box Blade.

Got a new Box Blade for our tractor, went to work with it today. Got a lot done. Going to plant a weeping willow in the morning. Also cleaning our creek out. Our creek has a little waterfall. We so love it. The Box Blade is even made in Alabama. Bought the tractor Last September, It has a Front Loader, BackHoe, BushHog and now a Box Blade.

It's a 4 foot box blade, tractor pulls it fine. The tractor is 23hp, you would be surprised at what it can do.

Nice I also own a kabota got box blade, bushhog,rototiller,bucket 32 hp.It really comes in handy. Looking to buy another one. That way I can set it up for haying and leave it at the other farm. Nice! It took me some time to learn to use the box blade but I got down pretty good. I'm also looking to buy a small bull-dozier, I want to clean out some more fields.

A box blade is a wonderful implement. I use mine for gravel and lane maintenance

The box blade, front bucket, and pallet forks are what I would consider must haves around here. Of course in Michigan, this thing also comes in handy this time of year! What's that green stuff behind the tractor?

Ive got a tumble bug. Does the same as a box blade. Havnt used it in 25yrs. Got the 2 bottom forks that could prove useful some day with a pallet on them. Got a horse grader blade for precision grading, and a front mounted blade on my H Farmall for just pushing snow or dirt.

LMC makes great stuff. I have a 72 inch box blade that I got second hand a year ago. Still looks and works great. Haven't even had to flip the blade, not even close.

Congrats.

I maintain our long drive and a mile and a half of gravel road with an 8n and a 6' box blade. I might spin a wheel every now and then due to the light weight of the tractor, but that only happens if I misjudge the depth setting.
