All those squeamish to things not the color 'Orange'. ;)

My poor old 4' Box Blade was looking kind of sad after many years of hard use.

So I decided to sand blast it, check all the welds and then hit it with a coat of new paint.

Scarifiers look great. 🥶. It all does, but I am partial to orange, despite my own hypocrisy with owning a green plow myself. Nice job. It does look better / great.

Looks great - no matter the color.

Out of curiosity, did you chemically treat the metal with an anti-rust solution (something with phosphoric acid in it) after sandblasting?

1. Nice work!

2. Funny how all you have to do to get me to look at a post is to say not to look at it.

Dang, that looks sharp! Nice work.

Too bad about the color, but it will keep it from rusting for a while. ;)

Wonder why the third picture look like it is only a couple feet wide? Almost like you took it from a distance with a telephoto lens...

Nice job. Does it go on a green tractor normally?

Yeah, its just the angle (perspective) of the picture.

None of the smaller implements go on my Green Tractor. Its just what I've found over the years that work for me and the Kubota can handle easily.

I am not staunchly 'brand loyal'......I will buy whatever I think will hold up or best suits my needs. Don't really care if it matches the tractor or not.

My property is heavily wooded in areas and only a Compact Tractor will allow me to maneuver back there. Hence the need for 4'-5' implements. Also my L2530DT is only 25hp (20 pto hp).

For bigger chores I use the JD.
