I have a small (600 foot?) driveway and small barnyard to maintain. I have a 7 foot rear-blade, fairly lightweight, that came with my four-cylinder Ford 4000. The outside of the rear wheels on that tractor are about 6 feet apart, and I'm not sure if it's even still possible to move them. The 7 foot blade is a nice match, even with a slight angle is still covers the tire prints. I need to figure out how to get some weight on it without being in the way when I adjust the blade angle and/or put the blade on and off (right now I can move the blade around by hand, which makes hitching up pretty easy)
I also have a JD 3020, outside of rear wheels about 7 feet apart.
I currently mow and blade with the Ford and use the JD as a loader tractor and for the snowblower (IH-80) in the winter.
My local Runnings has some of these 6 foot box. They seem pretty light, and I'm pretty sure you guys will advise me to look for a used one that is heavier (and there really isn't a rush, so I'm OK with that).
Should I look for a 6 footer for the small tractor or a 7 footer for the bigger tractor? I'm not in love with the JD, but never seem to work up to replacing it (and would probably end up with something just as big anyway). I like the little Ford--if I could have figured out how to put a loader on it I wouldn't have bought the JD, but I also never convince myself to sell the Ford. I like the way the JD moves the snow, but would rather drive the Ford most days.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
