L2000 Box Blade Recommendation

[swamprat]

What is the best size box blade for general use with this tractor? Tires have a 4ft. spread. This is my first tractor so I'm looking for some solid advice. Thanks

You'll be just fine with a 5 foot box back there.

I pulled a 72" rear blade behind my L185 for 30+ years. Never had a problem. Used it for driveways, ditching, mucking manure, etc. And snow in the winter. I wouldn't want it narrower. I don't know how different a box blade is, however.
