Having a blast watching you have the fun I had with your tractor. Love it. Just found your channel so forgive me if I comment on something that has already been covered. I thought I had the bases covered but you showed an old pro a thing or two. I like the box blade slash counterweight idea with the add on weights. Basically renders that ballast box useless. You can use that front end loader to help you lift things like that box blade or anything. Drill a hole center of the blade on the loader the exact size of a bolt in the trailer ball. Put the trailer ball in the center of your bucket. Use a small nylon strap to chock a log, box blade or what ever then put the eye onto the trailer ball and lift what it is you need to move. Just remember to take the ball out of the bucket before you scrape anything on asphalt, it will eat the bolt on the bottom of the bucket. Its okay for scraping in dirt for short jobs. The hole in your bucket will not effect anything else. Can do about anything with that set up. Even use rope to hook onto the ball. Try some hooks too. Have fun.

great purchase for first attachment, now you need to get the forks to get the box blade out when you get it home 😉. my box blade sat in my truck bed for a few weeks because i took delivery of it before i got my tractor

[@shawspeaks8252]

You will never believe it lol... but I got it out myself... and did not destroy my van doing so... It should be in next Fridays video... lol I had no clue about how to get it out... I will be going to get pallet forks this month... I need them pretty bad. Might get them this weekend. Thanks For watching Dacombe Much Respect and Stay Safe

@@shawspeaks8252 i didnt realize how useful having forks can be. check out some videos on box blades and setting the angle with the top link, i only did this after playing with the blade 🤷🏻‍♂️. either way have fun with the toys and stay safe.

I am really having a good time with Penny... Seems like I am learning the hard way... but i am learning... thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment... much Respect and Stay Safe

Great start man. Being smart about it even. I’ll be mounting a loader on my x595 and using a tiller for counter balast for a while. I wish I could get a box blade around my area, but they seem to not be used in EU much.

[@shawspeaks8252]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I wish I knew what I was doing... I have used the box blade a few times and I feel like I have made nothing but messes around my yard with it so far... lol I have a lot to learn but snow, rain and Mud... (Winter) is really slowing that down... lol I bought at the wrong time of year... lol

[@vasiabikeru]

@@shawspeaks8252 haha. I feel you. Wanting to make some mess around my driveway as well with one of these. Check out Tractor Time with Tim’s channel for using a box blade and land plane. It will help a lot. Well, at least I feel it would, in theory. Still waiting to put that info to good use :P

[@jasonl5961]

How are you liking the box blade so far? My 1025R is on order and I'm trying to decide if I want a box blade to go with it. What made you go with the 2048L over the 2048? Thanks!

[@shawspeaks8252]

I love it... I am not great with it yet but give me time... I have a lot more videos using it coming out soon... also when you asked why I chose the one I have... I did not do as much research as you would give me credit... I went with what was at the dealership the day I went to buy one... that is what they had in stock. thanks for watching and for the question... Much Respect

@@shawspeaks8252 Thanks for the response! I look forward to more videos of Penny! Stay safe out there!
