Does it matter what brand box scraper/box blade I get for my BX23S?

[Mustard Tiger]

I went with the 48" landpride and 3 point hitch,, I seem to have a very good dealer and like the BX23S all was delivered free.. I just had to be home to hand over the check.. (hitch,blade box, wheel weights and assorted service stuff) it not a complicated thing and any of the type should work fine,, after removing the backhoe and installing the hitch once or twice it's now about a 10 minute job..

My local dealer kind of sucks. Talked to another Kubota dealer about an hour and a half away. Their price for theLand Pride box scraper and quick hitch are quite a bit less than the local dealer, probably because they aren't reaming me with a freight cost that the local dealer wouldn't budge on. So I'm going to drive out there on Saturday and pick up the LP quick hitch and then come home and hit up the other dealer that has the box blade with the heavier construction and better adjustment for the tines compared to the LP, and if the quick hitch fits it will also take that home. That dealer isn't a Kubota dealer, but they're 2 miles from my house.

I'll probably be avoiding my local dealer as much as I can moving forward.

Yes.

As others have stated, it’s just a metal box and you’re hitching it to a rather smallish tractor.

Edit: That may have come across a bit harsh. No offense intended by the “smallish tractor” comment.

It's not offensive at all. I just want whichever is better built. The Braber has thicker steel (weighs 50lbs more than the Land Pride) and uses the easier to adjust pins over the spring clips that are on the LP, and it costs less and is pretty much right around the corner from my home. Sadly they don't have any kind of quick hitch in stock, so I'll have to drive an hour and a half out to that other Kubota dealer. The price that other Kubota dealer they gave me on the LP quick hitch was only like $50 more than something from Titan or any of the other manufacturers, so I figured why not. I have to head out that way anyway this weekend and don't have to pay for shipping and will have it that day.

As you are shopping and picking your implements and considering QH, maybe this is helpful? (If you are considering a LP or a different brand for QH I’d recommend get the spec drawing and measure twice)

If not set on a brand maybe also give PAT’s quick hitch a look. They are more flexible than a fixed QH. There are more than one threads on the topic so maybe check out some older threads if not yet decided.

good luck.
