UM..... The box blade I had was the cheapest local auto, farm store, China built option I could find.. It was cheap, a bit crude, but worked very well for the things it was intended to be used for... If I needed one again, I would buy cheaper used in a hot minute, refurbish as needed...

Good score... Appears to be well engineered and built... Please report how it works.. Good luck.

At times I have used a 3pt carrier and loaded platform as well as a 5' box blade with homemade weights for loader ballast.. I saw a homemade carrier that would span and slip under 55 gallon drums making it quick, easy, cheap to ratchet strap a barrel of ballast to the frame.. I like the...

== It would seem you have nothing to loose by trying it.. As long as you don't cut the frame for the engine mounts or such so that if it doesn't work you can replace the engine.. Here is info from tractordata.com https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/005/8/6/5862-kubota-b2920.html It...

One time I bought a 3 point 5' used snow blower in mid July... For cheap... Had plenty of time to give it some attention before winter.. It served well..

At a time I also had about a 4 acre ...barn paddock... that only God knows who did what with it as it had bumps, pot holes, hills in it even the livestock wouldn't walk on.. I used a 5 shank, 5' chisel plow multiple passes, multiple directions, spring and fall over several years to get smooth...

== A thought..... At one time I was kinda, sorta engineering in my head an 1100rpm capable pump to mount on the belly of my compact tractor to run off the mid mount pto shaft there.. Leaving my rear 540rpm pto open for other uses... Never got it fabricated, so don't know if I would have had...

Here is one ..old school.. source of pto (540rpm) pumps.. This source from back in the day when people were fabricating there own wood splitters and such.. It sounds like you are wanting to run a pto shaft through the pump to run something else ...behind... the pump ?? BE SURE to post...

My thought would be to build a 3pt tool frame that the rollers could be bolted to and different styles chisels, spikes or such could be added as desired.. Much like the combo in WilliBills photo... All on the most ...cheap... possible.. My 5 cents of opinion..

Trivia... At a time I maintained a kilometer of gravel driveway with a cheap auto-farm store, China made 5' box blade and an equally cheap, well work used to be 6' rear 3pt blade.. At best on the ground where this was a driveway was hard to keep in good condition.. I would have had to spend...

The 5' box blade I had was a cheap, generic, no name, likely China built model from ..Princes Auto.. store Canada.. It did'nt matter what color it came as.. I changed the color a couple times, depending on what color paint I had available at the moment.. The color didn't seem to affect...

Nice bobcat mount... This isn't me, I lost the pictures a couple computers ago.. But it is a size comparison of the ....cat.... I had to deal with once around our livestock.. NOT a fun ..incident.. Again... For size comparison...

https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachments/1000025460-png.158229/ Love, love ...play on word... things like this.. That and frustrating the h3ll out of ..spell check.. on the computer..

Ouch... Like suggested replace the angle with a heavier reinforced replacement.. I would also consider gussets from the top corners of the center plate to the ends of the angle.. Nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Wild guess..... Some sort of auto leveling linkage for some kind of attachment regardless of the height ?? Possible aftermarket back hoe ?? Sod harvester ?? Any other guesses ??
