What do you use a box blade for?
It’s used primarily for spreading material like soil or gravel, and for grading, leveling, or backfilling an expansive area of land for a driveway, lawn, garden, building site, etc. Scarifiers are angled metal teeth, mounted in a row on a crossbeam across the upper width of the box blade.
What size box blade should I get?
If you can pull a Box Blade much wider than your rear tires, you did not buy a heavy enough Box Blade. You need at least one hundred pounds of Box Blade width for every twelve inches of rear tire width. Heavier is better.

Box blades are one of the most versatile tractor attachments and you can use them for tasks like grading, leveling, root removal, backfilling, or even spreading gravel, soil, or other materials around the yard.
Can you plow with a box blade?
Just make sure you suspend you box above the ground while ripping to minimize the amount of dirt you drag around. Leave the cutting blade edge several inches off the ground if possible. I did not lose and scarifiers or tips during that plowing.
