Ok. I should have bit the bullet about 2 years ago, before prices went through the roof, but I didn’t really need a box blade at the time. By the time I finally decided I should have one, they’d skyrocketed in price. Just my luck…
So, I looked at the LP BB1260, and it’s pretty light. Both in weight and material type. I wasn’t too wild about this option. My dealer doesn’t keep any BB15xx models, but does usually have some BB25xx models. I liked the specs on the 1560, but the price was a little (lot) more than I really wanted to spend.
I really wanted to order an EA Extreme Compact series in 60” flavor, but freight to Oregon was quoted at $275! Shoot.
In boredom, I cruised through FB Marketplace and found a Woods BSS60P about 100 miles from home. Fella had sold his tractor and was getting rid of all implements. This thing is still shiny. The rear blade doesn’t look like it ever pushed a load of dirt, and the front blade barely has the paint rubbed off of 1/3 of it. All the stickers are still shiny and legible. Scarifiers and all pins are intact and in perfect shape. This thing never saw any use…
514# of sweetness for $900 this afternoon!
Comparatively, I was looking at a hair over $1,000 for a LP BB1260. $1,550 for EA Compact Extreme 60” delivered, or $1,700 for a LP BB1560.
None of these others look to be a robust as the Woods. I’m super stoked about this find!
