Hi. I am trying to figure out the best size box blade to put on a NH TC24D. I really only have some grapefruit size rocks and twigs sticking out of the ground now, but I'm sure more will surface. I have heard that the 48" is sized closer, but a 60" will still work fine if you don't get too greedy. Opinions, anyone? Thanks.
P.S. - also looking for opinions as to the best tool for picking up these rocks and sticks, getting ready for lawn turf. I am just kind of assuming a BB would be best.

I have a JD 790 '03 model so it has the smaller engine. Use a 60" box blade with industrial tires with good results, at deer camp on clay ground to rpr a road was able to get the box 90% full and still had power and traction, with a box blade you will need to get it leveled up and set it for the best cut angle-front to back tilt- for particular soil type, as for rocks and sticks don't have one but have heard that rakes are best but have used box blade for same ....

My TC29 handles a 72" box blade pretty well, so I'd say the 60" on your TC24 would be fine.
I was glad I got the 6' instead of the 5' box. Having a little extra width past the tires helps on some projects.
Good luck
Bill ....
