Box Blade Pics

[ItBmine]

Took my snowblower off today and put my box blade on, since my hydraulic rear blade hasn't come in yet. Still too wet to do any work here, but I wouldn't use the snowblower anymore anyway.
Just posting because I know you all like pics.

And yes...it is not level. I didn't adjust it until after I took the pics.

That snow looks very familiar, what part of Canada are you in?
Nice looking set up you have.

Hello Grandpa W. I bet we have the same dealer, lol.

I'm on the other side of the Sault to the north.

How do you like your 2320? Just got my tractor this winter. Only been able to snowblow so far. I hope it's almost over.

I like how Land Pride offers their attachments in Kubota Orange! When I bought my LP 5' brush mower, all they had was red and I couldn't wait for an orange one :-(

 

[Grandpa W]

Yes I bet it is the same dealer, small world.
I have only had my 2320 for about a month so I still have new toy syndrome.
I added a Curtis cab last week with the hard rear panel and I know it will be worth every penny when the wind and blowing snow start up again this fall.
Also have a landscape rake if you need one since we are close, no sense spending extra $ for once or twice a year use if there is one close.

Well thanks for the offer Grandpa W.
How do you like that cab? I was almost thinking about one for winter, but I'd have to move my rear remotes and control valve as they are mounted to my ROPS.

I had heard stories about our dealer, but they have treated me great. Anytime I need something, Tom or Chuck get right on it. I haven't really met Vic yet.

 

[Grandpa W]

I agree totally on the dealer, I have been treated very well there and am not hesitant to tell others about the service.
I am not familiar with the rear controls and hydraulics since I don't have rear hydraulic accessories. I will attach some pics later on of the back end of my tractor with the cab so you can have a look at what might or might not be an issue.

I like the looks of those mid-sized B's. A good match to your LP box blade! Do send pictures of the rear blade when you get it.

Soooo.... what do you use the Western Star for?!?!?

 

[ItBmine]

Yes, I will post pis when it comes in. I'm still waiting.

The Star is a dump truck. I haul aggregate and asphalt.

Haven't loaded it with the Kubota yet, lol.

I am looking for a Box Blade for my B3200. What size Land Pride Box do you have? Does your tractor handle it well? Thx

 

[ItBmine]

My box blade is a 60"
I can't give a report yet, haven't used it. Snow is still melting, and what is melted is still too wet to work in.

It is going to get a workout though, the hills on my bushroad are all washed out.

Old truckers don't use viagra, they just get a new Peterbilt. I'm a rock hauler too, work for a quarry 200' from home.

 

[ItBmine]

Greetings buckaroo52. Do you drive an on-road truck or off road quarry truck?

 

[Jimchad]

Nice set up. It's the same set-up I just got that I am learning to use. Tell me about the mirrors, did they come with the tractor?

 

[ItBmine]

Here's a report on the box blade if you didn't see it.

Jimchad....I got the mirrors from www.golfcartsandaccessories.com for 30 bucks. They work well.

 

[Jimchad]

Thanks for the link for the mirrors. Gotta get me some. Any chance you could send me a pic of the install?

 

[ItBmine]

Sure. Give me until the weekend.

 

[ItBmine]

Here's how I did the mirrors Jimchad. They come with two holes in the bracket per side and they supply the screws, although I used a little bigger screw. Just line them up where you want them and drill into your shiny new machine
The thing to be aware of, is make sure you position it so the bracket isn't over the weld around the pins boss on the outside, and that you don't end up coming through the inner weld.
There is lots of clearance for the loader arm on the inside.

I'm sure there are neater ways to do it, but it was fast and it works for me.
