Subject: RE: Advice: Dozer blade for box blade?


I have a Landoll Icon 1632. http://www.landoll.com/Icon/PDF/116782%201632%20lit.pdf It has flip down ends to box in the blade. I never use the boxed ends. The wide blade will fill up with dirt so much in the middle that I can't either pull it or can't dig any deeper. The dirt rarely fills out to the ends of the blade in a straight pull. It works very good for filling in ditches or touching up terraces. I pull it with a Case-IH Magnum 245. It can stop the tractor easily in its tracks. A dozer blade will not be 16' feet wide. The width is needed if you angle the blade and still want to cover the width of the tractor duals. Using a dozer blade as a scraper or box blade would be fine but you still won't need the height of a dozer blade. The Icon blades ability to tip as well as angle makes it very versitile.
