The I took the box blade and leveled out a new area of soon to be grass, horseshoe pit and garden area, took off about 5" of virgin soil, not to many rocks and was leveling it out again with a pitch towards the woods for drainage.
The 72" blade was the right size for my machine, with the weight of the tractor, front bucket and loaded rear tires the box blade isn't to big, I just keep the machine in 4x4 and low hst setting, as far as the craftsman ship of the blade it self, I'm really impressed, it took a few good shots with rocks but the hardened steel blades didn't bend, and im going slow anyway. The biggest thing to remember when using it, is to take small bites.
