Took me several years to find a heavy duty enough grader blade...ended up getting a Dirt Dog brand 70 series blade....It cost a lot, but it has been well worth the money for the Heavy Built Properties of the blade...... I Still have the regular size grader blade's also. because the dirt dog is almost too heavy for just general driveway resurfacing...one slip up with the three point control and you will get a good start on building that road to china it's so heavy lol

Must be a good cat if you keep her around! I like that heavy blade you use on the 6060, Its tough to fund them built like that. Ive seen a lot of the rear blades from the box stores but don't think those ones would hold up to much. A lot of good valuable information in this video here. Ideally would be nice to just have one of everything like you do! Box blade and york rake are what i use on our parking area which is due for maintenance. Land plane would be really nice, but for now i just use what i got.

They all have their place! The main thing is get something strong enough to hold up. The TSC and Rural King angle blades I’ve seen just aren’t built good. Yes one of everything is nice but not always feasible. We’ve collected these over about a 20 year time frame. Appreciate you watching!

Box blades do work for snow. I live in Michigan and have moved alot of snow with my box blade kinda works like a snow pusher. You can move a good amount but you can't windrow it off to the side like a rear blade. Before you spend the money on a blade just try your box blade see if you like it. You already own it so you are not out anything.

I have found the offset function of the blade also works good for plucking out rocks or stumps. Tilt one corner down offset it so the corner is behind the rear tire then angle the corner towards the tractor. Helps put most of the pulling right behind the tractor. Need a heavy blade tho and not huge rocks or stumps just use your head.

What are you trying to do with your box blade? I have both a box blade and a scrape blade I really like both each are good for different things. Iam sure we could help you figure out what you need to do to use your box blade. Top link adjustment is very important
@KillingItCountry3 жыл бұрын
@@simpleman4196 that’s pretty nice! Thanks! I haven’t given it a fair shake to be honest but 99% of the work I want to do is driveway and parking area maintenance. I find the box blade doesn’t give me the results I want. I end up with highs and lows. The grader scraper just looks like a better piece of gear for my needs because it appears to be designed to fill with stone, shave off the high spots and fill the lows.
@simpleman41963 жыл бұрын
@@KillingItCountry see if anyone you know has one or rent one and try it. Both a box blade and scrape blade drag across the ground and will follow the contour. A big part of doing the work is moving the 3 point adjustment lever up and down. Slow down your tractor speed some as you feel your front end go down start to raise your 3 point and dump stone in the low area. High spots start at the bottom of the high spot and go over it a few times to cut it down. If you have a level spot before a high spot sometimes it helps to go backwards and cut it down with the back of the box blade. Not trying to steer you away from a scrape blade. I think it takes more skill or experience to be better with a scrape blade then a box blade is all.
