4ft blade?

[seagullplayer]

Been offered a deal on a four foot rear blade.

Is that good for my BX2200 or is it too small?

Also can the tractor handle a 5ft grader box?

Yes a 4 foot blade would work, but it will be very narrow when turned at an angle.

On the other hand a 5 foot box blade will be a bit much for that tractor, it will work if not loaded too heavy.
But also check the weight of the implement as the BX2200 does not have a lot of lift.

the problem with a 4' blade......when you angle it, the tires will have a wider stance than the blade - depending on what you are doing, this could be a problem.

5' box.......will work, but that will strain the 2200 when you get a 1/2-FULL box worth.....

A 48" box will work well! and will be about the same width as your machine!

Multiply the blade width by 0.7 and you will be very close to the working width when turned 45 degrees.

48 x 0.7 = 33.6

60 x 0.7 = 42

Some resolution.

I finally made it over to see the guy with the 4 foot blade.

I have known him for a very long time, he was one of my high school teachers.

He had the blade sitting out, it had been in his barn for years. It was bought for a BX like mine many years ago. But it was never used, they don't have that tractor anymore. They farmed for years/decades most of their machinery is much bigger.

So I can see the blade is in good shape and pretty heavy duty, other than walking up to it I really didn't look it over. We make our deal and I told him I would be back later to pick it up with help.

When I get it home my son is helping me unload it and I see on the back it is a woods brand 60. So its a five foot blade after all.

I'm can wait to try it out.

A deal like that you grab and growl and yup you will be happy with it
