If you are using the box blade for grading you'll be ok with a 6 footer. If you plan on doing a lot of ripping of sod etc with the scarifiers a 6 foot blade will put that tractor to its knees like dropping an anchor, or you will spin. I used mine for dirt ripping, not too much grading. I run a 6 footer on a NH3930 4wd at roughly 7500 lbs.
I picked mine up "new" from TSC. Some guy bought it, hooked a stump and returned it. I paid them $200 as is. I built a new hitch and re-inforced quite a bit. Now if it hooks hard into the dirt, it will bend the cat I pins and stop the tractor. It doesnt get the use it did, since I finally bought a dozer.
Short of a dozer, a box blade is a great piece to have around.
