I use the 72” box blade for knocking down heavy soil and rock in smaller areas and out in the woods. I think its capable of pulling/ pushing more weight. I like to keep it on the rear for counter weight, general knock down of piles/ humps and I keep my reciever bolted there to move a trailer if necessary. Even use it to back a log or limbs out of the way when bushogging, etc.
The grade scraper has no equal on finish smoothing and grading. I use the 84” model on my L6060 and love it.

My box blade spends more hours used as ballast/counter weight than for grading. You could probably rig up something to easily hang more weight if needed. Nicer than when I use to have a 8ft blade hanging from the 3pt for a little added mass.
