    Tim from Canada.. if you have a box, blade.. this would help you fix the parking lot. The box blade would work this would be the ideal tool.. you need to do this driveway invest in a box blade. This would be beneficial to fix this driveway.

      Yes your correct, in this parking lot a box blade woilda made a huge difference and I believe I even mentioned it somewhere in the video.. I had a box blade years ago but sold it because it was a 6’ blade (too large) and planned to buy a 4 or 5’ box blade but never got around to it. Most my driveway jobs I can handle just fine with the loader as they are small, but on large area driveways like this a box blade would be much quicker because you could drag the material along and spread as you grade Vs. Having to bucket tons and tons of stone all over to different parts of the driveway

      Haha thanks Bill! I agree some of my videos can certainly make it look easier than it actually is.. but getting lots of seat time is key, I know with time you’ll get there, I have guys who commented on my videos a year ago saying the same thing and now these same guys are commenting telling me that their loader skills have come a long way with practicing and watching my techniques! Keep at it and thanks for watching!

      Hey John, I actually just got a 5’ backblade the other day finally again for the first time in 2 years since I sold my (too long) 6’ backblade that I use to have. Like I told a few other guys, had I known this Jon was gonna be this big, and this extensive before I got there then I woulda waited till I got at the very least a backblade to bring along with me.. specially for the end where I had to spread 20 ton in that corner , I think it woulda been faster for sure

      Yah I actually planned on buying one when I first got my tractor but never got around to it, I also debated building my own but now with the price of steel I’m no longer going to, I found the Cutting edge from Kubota that bolts directly to my bucket lip is only roughly $130 so for that price it’s not even worth building one unless I already had the harnend steel laying around which I don’t. My factory cutting edge is worn right out so I’ll be buying the bolt on cutting edge very soon. Thanks for watching!

      @BiffsEquipment  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question Jay, if I were to do a lot more parking lots of this size I would most certainly get a 4’ grader box.. either that or a backblade.. I get alot of people like land planes but land planes don’t work as well for digging up what’s already there, they seem to work best for spreading and grading new material or material that’s already there but for an actual driveway repair where you need to get it down to the base like many of my jobs entail then id get a boxblade or a backblade because either one of those will work great for both digging up old material and spreading out/grading back fresh material.
      I actually was given a 5’ backblade the other day by one of my customers I did work for over the weekend. It’s a brand new northern tools backblade. I plan to do a video this summer using it or possibly bust it out next time I have a driveway job if need be. I wish I woulda had it for this one. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

      Thanks Tony! When I back drag with the bucket I use both float and no float.. often I will start with no float and end in float, other times I will start in float and add a bit of down pressure if it’s not spreading how I want or as thin as I want ..I also curl the bucket back as I’m back dragging with helps to give a smooth finish when your done with your back drag. I plan on making a video sometime this summer going into detail of how I back drag and use my FEL for moving/grading different types of material so stay tuned!

    i've noticed that when you have a heavy load, your tyres don't seem like they are squished down any at all... i have a 2380, when i have a full load of dirt or stone or logs, my front tyres almost look flat... i have turf tyres on mine, would the industrial tyres be stiffer? what psi do you use on the fronts?

    • @BiffsEquipment
      @BiffsEquipment  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey man, I Beleve the turf tires don’t carry the load quite as nicely as the tires I have or your typical r4 or r1 tire but I also run my air pressure pretty high.. I usually keep around 28-32psi in my front tires.. never going over 32 and never going under 28.. I usually try and keep them right at 30 or so and that is usually perfect for me. Try bumping your tire pressure up and seeing if that helps.. If you do a lot of loader work it’s almost a must as these front tires are small so they need a little more pressure than Kubota recommends for loader work IMO

I have a heavy dirty 3500lb axle under it, and have even beefed up the frame and the ramps.. and tho it gets the job done I wish it was not only 1’ wider and 2-4” longer but I also wish it was a tandem axle as it can be tough to get proper tongue weight when I have to being other attachments with me and it’s very tough to make it all fit at a times..
