FYI, tilt your box harder and cut a swale ditch on each side and a steeper crown. This way the water will shed to the sides and run down to the bottom of the grade where you can divert the water away. Finally did this to my road, makes winter driving better and keeps from cutting ruts down the middle where you drive. Good luck! That tractor looks like it can do just about anything you need done!
Get them out of four wheel drive mode and get them in leisure mode, LOL, Got it looking great Tim . Another Spring chore you can check off the list. Have a great day and God Bless.
Dude, thank you for showing how you set the box blade up. Busted butt all day, wasted diesel, and got sunburned!! Haha! Back at it tomorrow with my blade PROPERLY setup!
@@RidgeLifeI have a question about repairing a dirt road like that where at the end it dead ends into my property. I want to do this, I believe it outs a private road- do I have to have the neighbors approval to repair if I want to do the entire road?
Nice. I have a similar box blade with the adjustable teeth for grinding up the top layer. Any reason you didn't use those, at least on you first couple of passes?
Man people about murdered me for using box blade for building crown lol I wish you the best of luck in the comments. Ps it works for me too , good job 👍👍👍
You're 100% correct about wearing your ears while you're on the tractor nice work on the road but that tractors a little Plain Jane😂 I think you need to enter it in Pimp My Ride✌Cya
Nice work. Were you running your box blade in "neutral mode" in terms of cutting and smoothing functions? Or was the toplink shortened a bit to make it cut more?
Nice job but not an answer to yearly wash out ….this job would wash out in a few bad wet days in winter ….how bout a video about putting in a few cross ramps or such ….gets the water away before it runs the whole length of the road ….slows the traffic also …..I’m no expert but it worked for me …nice tractor and nice grading job ….but winter rain ..floods …hmmmmm?

Good job Tim! I’m impressed!👍🏻😎
Thanks 👍
Those were some deep ruts in your road Tim. Feels good to fix it doesn't it! Good job👍
You got that right! Love it while its smooth. The slope there doesn't allow it to last long though. Take care!
Tim makes it look easy!

Wow that worked great! Looks good!
Thanks 👍
You made me laugh with the Crocs. 😂😂
I aim to please!
Mornin
Good morning!
Looks pretty good. I know gravel driveways can be a pain sometimes but yours looks well taken care of.
Thank you Pamela
An invaluable piece of equipment. Good job
That is for sure! Thx
Looking good Tim. Nothing says grading like Crocks LOL
You got that right! HA!
Learned my lesson a few times using Crocs in 2 wheel drive 😂
Ha! You got that right. Thx
Awesome job Tim
I'm lucky I got a rake to do mine
Thanks Patty.
Looks great! Blessings
Thank you! You too!
Looks way better! Great job 👍
Thanks! 👍
Looks great!
Thanks!
Nice. I have a similar box blade with the adjustable teeth for grinding up the top layer. Any reason you didn't use those, at least on you first couple of passes?
I like a packed smooth surface on a road. I use the tines more for fields.
🌻NEW SUBSCRIBER- came over from Ernie Hatmaker-looking forward to watch!!
Love Ernie! Thx!!!
Great work Tim! Really came out nice! If I was closer you could use my 1957 Allis Chalmers road grader 👌☕
That would be cool! Thank for watching. Have a great week.
Man people about murdered me for using box blade for building crown lol I wish you the best of luck in the comments.
Ps it works for me too , good job 👍👍👍
You use what you got! The box blade is an amazing thing! Ha! Let them murder away!
So far it’s just friends commenting. Once the algorithm get it, all bets are off! Ha!
I need to do my driveway as well.
Very satisfying for sure!
Very good
Thank you so much!
Thank you for adding the part about HEARING protection. I have started doing it by mowing my Lawn with my old mower.
Yes, after hours it’s so bad!!!
You're 100% correct about wearing your ears while you're on the tractor nice work on the road but that tractors a little Plain Jane😂 I think you need to enter it in Pimp My Ride✌Cya
Huh? HA! Thank you brother!
Turned out alright 🍺🍺
Thank you!
I need some crocks too!
They are a must especially when OFF GRID!!!
@@RidgeLife 😂
Love your crocks ,🐊🐊🐊
Ha! Thanks Donna. I get no respect for them usually! HAHAHA!
If you have neighbors also on the road you’re forcing do they have to approve you doing it?
I would think so.
Nice work. Were you running your box blade in "neutral mode" in terms of cutting and smoothing functions? Or was the toplink shortened a bit to make it cut more?
Thanks. Not in Float mode. Yes adjust to cut and crown.
I always keep my crocs in 2 wheel drive to save on gas unless its raining you will drag a heel in parking lots
Haha! You know it.
I would love to get a tractor for our property. So expensive though
They sure are but oh so helpful! You can find a used one maybe?
@@RidgeLife I'm sure we will be looking for something lol
I need a box blade!
They can do so much!!!
@@RidgeLife I’ve been using my loader bucket tilted all the way down and pulling it in reverse!! What a stiff neck!
@@9252LIFE ouch!
Glad you remembered to take them out of 4WD! ;)
HA! Oh yeah! Gotta add some humor to these videos! Thx
7:48 You said Kubota.
Yeah. I have a Kubota side by side.
That will continue to wash out… need to get the water off your road.. and away from it..
Yeah, I went back and put furrows about every 10’ to redirect the water. Good point!
I don’t know if I can fully trust a man wearing crocs.😂
Haha! Love em! Gotta be in 4wd!
