Super happy with the Big Boy Blade. Having started my career as a welder and now owning several manufacturing companies I looked very hard for a quality Blade made well. John Deere and Land Pride were available locally but weighed 30% less and had goofy features and set ups. When the Blade showed up, I was very happy to see it…Brad Riley

Common uses
What Can This Big Boy Box Blade for Tractors Be Used For?
Heavy Driveway Grading
Use the Big Boy Box Blade when a heavier box blade is needed to cut packed gravel, pull material, fill washouts, and reshape larger driveways.
Farm Road Maintenance
Maintain farm roads, gravel lanes, equipment paths, and rough property roads where additional blade weight and heavier steel help the box blade bite.
Pothole and Washout Repair
Cut high spots, pull gravel into low areas, and repair potholes, ruts, and washouts on driveways, roads, and working areas.
Rough Ground Reshaping
Use the heavier frame and adjustable shanks to loosen, cut, drag, and redistribute material across rough or uneven ground.
Large Property Material Moving
Pull and carry loose dirt, gravel, sand, and fill material across larger work areas where a lighter box blade may not have enough weight.
Bigger Tractor Grading Work
Choose the Big Boy when the tractor, job size, and material call for more ballast weight, heavier construction, wider 6 ft to 8 ft coverage, and stronger grading performance.
Finish Smoothing After Heavy Cutting
After ripping and cutting rough areas, use the Big Boy Box Blade to drag material back over the surface and leave a more even working grade.
