    Box Blade - Top Link or Not for New Tractor?

    Absolutely. And the MX6000 comes standard with those.

    Box Blade - Top Link or Not for New Tractor?

    Add it to your tractor as a new purchase. It will cost much more to do this later. Ask me how I know.

    Cheaper than Cheap Lightweight Box Blade

    Does a garden tractor with a Cat 0 hitch do any serious work? 😉

    It probably is ok for the 15 hp cat 0 garden tractor it was designed for.

    Is there a vacuum

    I don’t have a snow blower, but my rear blade will also pick up gravel and move it off the road if I try to plow all the snow off the road. Now I leave 1-2” of snow on the road whe I plow to avoid disturbing the gravel. It’s not necessary to plow the road bare. Try raising your snow blower a bit.

    adapting older implements whose 3-p5 attachment points are too high?

    That’s exactly what I was referring to in my previous post. It’s doubtful that reduced lifting capacity would be an issue. very few implements come close in weight to the maximum 3ph capacity.

    The pallet has stamped and welded panels and is more than sturdy enough for its intended use. I bought 2 pieces of 1/4” flat steel, 4x36” last week. $30. I doubt I could buy the steel to make a pallet for $140 at current steel prices.

    My tractor has a couple of different holes to adjust the lift arms. Check to see if your tractor can be adjusted for higher lift.

    Cheaper than Cheap Lightweight Box Blade

    It performs great behind your garden tractor, but a compact tractor would probably tear it up.

    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.

    LX vs. Standard L - are FELs and 3 pt capacity that close?

    My driveway is 2300’ but I still travel it in M. I only use H on the paved road. But lower HP tractors might need to use M on highway grades. Expecting more isn’t realistic for smaller machines.

    Agree. I don’t know why people complain about high range power. It’s only intended for road travel, not doing tractor work. L = loader M = mowing H = highway

    Thanks for that information. I was expecting annual filter changes.

    Most of the available wood pallets are beat up and falling apart. And I figured that this was a one time expense.

    I ordered the steel pallet from Home Depot. I’m sure there are other buying options.
