The video shows the break point up close, explains the torque that caused it, then follows the owner to a friend's shop for a welding repair using transfer punches to redrill mounting holes. Useful for owners curious about box blade durability and failure points, not tractor specs or performance.
A personal family farm channel (Dub, Zee, and Papa Ham) sharing hands-on, unscripted experiences from their own property rather than professional reviews.
The box blade caught on a stump while the tractor kept moving, and the box blade bit into the ground, putting torque on the A-frame until the flat bar snapped above the gusset.
It broke where the A-frame connects to the support brace that holds the pin, right above the gusset, which the owner calls a weak link in that spot.
Weld a new flat bar piece onto the broken section, then use transfer punches to mark and redrill the mounting holes before deepening them with a center punch.
