box scrapper blade

[Wasgd4u]

I HAVE A 49 8N WITH A RHINO 72" BOX WITH AN 82" BLADE,IS THEIR A STANDARD SIZE OR MAXIMUM SIZE FOR THIS TRACTOR, SEEMS LIKE OVER KILL AND SEEMS QUITE HEAVY,ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS?

5' implements except angle blades seem to do fine. on angle blades you need more like 6' to 7' depending on the material.

Looks like someone added the scraper blade to the bottom of the box for some special purpose. Think it would work ok, but it it doesn't, you can always cut off the extra length of the blade.

I've never seen a box scraper that could be angled, so my guess is that someone modified what was originally a blade, into a combo blade/scraper?

Your tractor may not handle a normal 6' box scraper w/scarifier teeth on it, as they can pick up quite a bit of material to be pulled?

I had a six footer w/teeth for years that was very heavy, but worked well behind my Jubilee. Got it from a local contractor whose 8N would not pull it well, so swapped my Hupp 5 footer for his wider, heavier box.

Looks to me like they used what they had and didn't go to the trouble to cut off the excess. Just my $.02 worth.
