Box Blade

Late this afternoon, I mounted the box blade on the 3 point of my Ford 641D and went out into my field to see how well it would work. First I went to a couple of rocks I had located earlier, but had not been able to move with the regular moldboard plow, my old back blade or the tractor loader. The box blade was able to remove both of the large rocks, almost easily. I had thought that the only way I could ever move those rocks was with a large dozer or maybe explosives.... Then I tried moving dirt. I found that the box blade could mound up dirt much faster and easier than I ever could with the heavy back blade. I then used the box blade to remove some hawthorn bushes by the roots--the same bushes that stop my moldboard plow dead. It wasn't an easy job, but it worked.

Needless to say, I am impressed with my new toy! I ran out of daylight today, but hope to see what else the box blade will do over the next few days. I think the 66 inch blade is about right for this tractor--hopefully it will hold up. This is the first brand new implement I have ever bought. I never see used box blades for sale around here.
