I have had my LX2610SU for 3 years now, I picked up an older 60" Everything Attachments box blade last week that was sitting on a local dealers lot for $650. Used it some over the weekend and I really regret not getting one sooner. I jumped on a top and tilt setup this morning, should be quite handy to have around!
Box Blade-why did I wait so long to get one

It's something that you need when you need it. A box blade is not something that is easy to find a substitute for. I got along fine for around 30 years without one. Then I bought another acre and a half that joins our property. Needed a box blade right then. Bought used, did the dirt work, and resold for no loss.

I also thought I could get by doing major regrading w/o - BB was a game changer for me. I totally see the value in the TNT too, but am doing it the hard way for now (i.e. read as spending $$ on other " stuff" ).
Of course, I also said that about pulling the trigger on the Kubota - still can't believe I waited 10 years!
edit - that is a really nice one for $650

At our former house we had a very long and steep gravel driveway. Almost any significant rain would cause it to rut terribly. I used the box blade / top n tilt to regrade so everything ran off to one side. Worked out great!
It's a great tool!

I tried that with my similar back blade. It wouldn't cut into the compacted gravel very well. I needed the rippers to loosen things up first.
