All, I'm looking at a 60" box plane/grader to use on my driveway. Its used and I can get it for a really good price. My question is...to ya'll think it will be too much for my little BX22 to handle?

You are going to be asking a lot from it !!! I have a 48" on the back of my B7100 - going down hill, it is the cats azz - uphill, I have to take very light bites!

I take it you drive is gravel? If so, depending on the deal - get it and try, if it does not work, you should be able to sell and move down a notch!:D:)

Hokie, that is probably what I'm going to do. I can get it for half the price of a new 48".

I've also been kicking to ball around about selling both my BX22 and B7300 and getting a 30/40 horse machine. Just not sure I want to part with them. I really like having two tractors.

I have 3.....so I know what you mean!!! One is a grass cutter, another cuts grass too and hauls small stuff and box blades.

And the bx works for anything else!!! ;)

You might want to check the weight. Some 60" grader scrapers might be to heavy for your tractors to lift. My 48" Land Price Grader Scraper is all I would want to lift and carry with my BX2370.
