Any input on what size blade or box I can safely pull behind a L345DT with the 1720 FEL on it? From what I've read it's 5hp/ft for things like bushhogs n such but no real guidelines for more "fixed" implements.

I'm looking to cut a ditch that's overgrown and level my yard with several loads of top soil so the wider the better time/efficiency wise.

Thanks :)

I'd say a 6' box and 7' blade might just be the most, but probably less ...

I pull a 5' land plane, and a 6' rear blade with my 25 HP SCUT ... but cutting in virgin soil/ditch is gonna be tough going with the bigger sizes ... I have a backhoe! The loose trucked in fill will be fine with those sizes.
