Cheaper than Cheap Lightweight Box Blade

[Old Machinist]

Came across the link to this 55" box blade with rippers for $249 before tax and free shipping. I figured it was worth that even if I throw the metal in my scrap pile. 55" just covers the track width on both of the tractors I have now.

I let my daughter and SIL have my heavy 6 footer with the 4310 when they took it. If this doesn't look like it will bend like a pretzel I may add a 300 pound barbell set on top of it.

No idea on quality, but check the shipping as it could be $$$ - you might find a sale at TSC or used is a better overall deal and more durable

Shipped free FedEx. We'll see?

I don’t recommend that implement. It says cat 0 and cat 1. Anything that is light enough for cat 0 is going to be flimsy.

Worth a look, but more times than not, I find that there is some sort of catch on the back end

Whether or not it's worth the cost will depend on what you use it for. Six scarifiers on a 55" inch box blade ... that's probably a clue right there. Land Pride shows the BB12 series as being matched to the LX and the equivalent is the BB1254 at 325 lb, CAT 1 and four scarifiers. Personally I'd rather put the money towards a quality implement that will last a lifetime.
