I think you'll do fine with 60" or smaller. There's a learning curve with the box blade, but you'll have fun (more seat time) mastering it.

rudman99:

Welcome to MU and congratulations on your new tractor ! I agree with gunmaker. I would also recommend that you size your BB wider than your tire width. There are many factors involved with BB selection: traction (tractor weight, tire type, 4WMFWD/2WD, etc.), 3 point hitch lift capability, balance of rig, and material you will be working with your BB. Some materials are harder to work than others which would require a smaller size BB. Generally the heavier the better, but you will pay for it ! Good luck with your "learning curve", and ask questions. Use your new tractor safely and well. Let us help you spend your money, and send pictures. We like pictures. Jay

You just need an area to practice in. When to use the rippers and how to adjust the toplink for smoothness - takes a few passes and maybe a small project to get the feel..its no big deal actually, and its all fun

I was just concerned that the manual said no bigger than a 53" and 385lbs. The 3pt can lift over 1000lbs. Again I dont know anything. It sure is fun tearing stuff up w/ the new bb. Thanks everyone for your help.
