John Deere 4044m using 4' Box Blade [will it break?]

An owner testing whether a 4-foot box blade is too small for a 4044M on a washed-out gravel driveway, and explicitly comparing results against a 2025R that repeatedly failed the same job. The video walks through scarifier use, blade adjustment, and a real before/after on a steep grade. Best for owners weighing box blade sizing or wondering whether a 4-series upgrade actually delivers meaningfully more pulling power.
