    Viewing and commenting from the operator perspective is most helpful for the new tractor owner.. the commentary on sounds and the feel of the machine is also something missing on other videos..
    Like you say- this video is aimed at the novice... and is an excellent example of how a tutorial should be done... Well Done!

    I've been watching your videos for a while now. I get compliments all the time about my tractor work gravel driveways and grading. I just want you to know I am quite the rookie, I have learned and practiced a lot of your content I think you are great at explaining the dos and don't s of the business. I pretty much learned everything I know from watching your videos and just jumping on the tractor and doing it. I realy believe you have helped a lot of people. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to sharing your knowledge with so many people. Keep it up.

    I'm sure glad you posted this video it was a good reminder on how to fine tune the blade to make it do what you want. I just pulled the trigger on a kubota l3901 to start my own little business. your videos on shaping a driveway are hands down the best in footage of what the blade is doin and your explanation what you want it to do.

    Lots of value my friend. I worked on a strip coal mining for over 20 years and got to run a 16 Caterpillar grader and I was trained just like you are teaching here. Thanks Todd for sharing these informative videos. A lot to learn here if you want to learn how to crown a road.

    The question that's been the bane of my driveway box blading experience (which is about 2 months) is, how in the world do you get rid of the dips and bumps when the dang blade moves up and down with the tractor which moves up and down with the dips and bumps?? Then with one very unassuming, innocent sounding sentence, the clouds opened up, my weary eyes saw a flash of light and I felt the warm, calming blanket of wisdom gently cover me.. "If your ground is super uneven, you've actually got to cut going backwards so that you can cut the highs and lows out." This needs to be shouted from the rooftops because I'd bet my last tube of grease it's a major frustration for many newbies besides myself. 😂🤣
    Edit: VALUE!! 😁👍

    I’ve got a quarter mile long driveway thats just been turning into mud. I’ve been trying to find good videos for years on how to grade and create drainage on the side of the road. You’re the first channel that’s really help me to understand how it needs to be done properly.

    how would you do that if the road were 2 lanes wide? do you have to reduce the cutting angle in the middle of the road and make it more aggressive on the ditch side? and if so would you work out from the middle or in from the ditch? Thank you!

    I knew I would like this video when I realized you name all of your vehicles.
    I love my box blade, and enjoy getting more proficient each time I use it (still a rookie). Your video was super helpful with taking me to the next level of "unlevelness". Seems that my crowns aren't as crowned as they should be because I'm not keeping the tractor "on-grade" well enough when forming my crown (a duh moment). Keep the tractor level with your desired grade while taking smaller bites, is one lesson I took from this video. Doing a better job of "feeling and listening" to my work is another.
    Still pondering how you can be doing this work (backwards), animating the camera perspective, and not driving off the cliff or destroying the flower bed. I guess experience is the answer.
    Thanks for your shared knowledge, I'll be checking out some of your other videos!

    Excellent video, thanks to your narration. Without your commentary, given the length of the video, it could be deadly. But you keep us involved and interested. It’s obvious you know your subject and you have a marvelous way of communicating it. I wonder how many people who want to get into the business are inspired by your teaching. From the way your channel is growing I would say quite a few. In the final analysis, these machines cost money and to get the most out of them, a good how-to video is necessary. That’s what you provide. If I were going into the business you’d better believe I would be closely watching your videos and taking notes, because there’s a big difference between doing something and doing it right.

      @JackwagonMules 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I am. Just got bought a tractor of my own and started my own business as well a month ago and his videos inspired me to go for it. I'm an operator by nature and many have given me the controls to do the work for them just due to my experience plus know how on operating plus my confidence in my work. Big thumbs up here and a big thanks to you Todd for giving me the confidence to chase my dreams. 25 years old, have my own business and moving up in the world. 2 years ago I was a severe alcoholic and did my time, learned from my mistakes and changed my life and now marrying my lovely wife-to-be in November and got a head start on my own business doing what I love. Life is pretty dang good right now. So in all-a-do, Thanks and we'll said.

    I watched this video a number of times before I jumped on my 2501 and got at it. I've only got a 5 ft Hardee BB but I managed to get the job done. I should have video taped it and sent it to you so you could see the complete opposite end of the spectrum. I appreciate the videos and commentary. I especially like when you say what not to do, it keeps me from making those mistakes and understanding why they're mistakes. Hail DigginLife21

    @johnmattu7262 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Excellent tutorial, I disagree with your title of "grading basics", this was more of a "doctoral thesis" of driveway grading, not a Bubba slinging a load of stone. Great description of the box blade, the different tools it consists of and how to achieve your desired outcome. Maybe a camera shot of the bottom side of the cutting edges so people new to the box blade can get a visual of by adjusting the top link you can mimic a grader cutting or a dozer back dragging in either direction. I ordered my new E.A. 96", 125 HP box blade with the 8" Viper cutting edge and the large shanks yesterday, yikes... 4K. A little sticker shock considering my last one was a 6' Kodiak, but this'll be the last one I ever need to buy. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for this beast, now the wait, things are a bit backed up at the present time. Great job on the driveway, looking forward to the finished product.

    High "VALUE"! It's so awesome that your are doing these. I worked summers with my grandfaher who did it all. Roads, pads, septic systems ect. unfortunaly he retired when i was 12. Did not realaize how interested I was in his work. I've had small trasctors for 20 years. Now at 57 I bought my first backhoe and am enjoying learing how to use it to it's fullest and already have tackled a few paying jobs with it.
    Keep up the good work!

    • @DigginLife21

    Definitely a lot a value in this Todd. Appreciate your tutorials. I just always hated the idea of continually having to look backwards when using a box blade. Me personally I think I would opt for a grading attachment on a skid steer so I’m not looking backwards(physical limitations from being hit by a drunk driver). Not sure if you have used one or know if one method is better than the other?

    Been maintaining my 1.1 mile drive for 30 years (with my little 1250 MF 4X4), and we've NEVER had as much material on our drive as you do!! When they built our road, the owner of the land kept telling the driver to "go a little faster"... The gravel wasn't more than an inch thick, (if that) and there weren't enough turn offs or tiles put in. Been adding more as I can... Great video sir :-)

    I need to hear you say 'Boil me up some mountain dew. It's gonna be a long night'. My head is exploding trying to understand this thing you call a Hydraulic Top Link. I guess I would need to measure the top link I have to have an idea of the movement range for a hydraulic one, one big enough to not make me regret getting one and hooking it up to the hydraulic system. Wondering where you hid that Dale's Dead Bug truck in the meantime.

    My driveway is a third the length of yours. House is on a high, drive contoured and curve uphill in a stretched z 50 feet. Or a backwards s. Whatever.
    A downpour will start a cut across the driveway.
    Your description of trying to visualize our goals, on top of the basics of the operation of the implement/tractor; the tactile elements of feels and sounds; the allowable maximum distance to extend the blade while still maintaining grade. how to create a sheet flow across the driveway instead of channeling, all while maintaining proper drainage above and below.
    Integrating the transitions of the driveway into the surrounding grade, fall of the land, from crowning to as best as I can describe it, high siding and then back to crowning.
    Now it's getting me to be able to make the machine do it.
    Thanks for the lessons.
    Lessons, because you tried to explain every step more than one time and in several different ways. One of them might have sinked in.

    Awesome work with the box blade the Mack would have made this job easier less trips to get road bond. That Everything Attachments box blade is the most durable box blade I've ever seen they build quality products.

    Best Box Blade Video I have seen. One question, I thought the only float on the 3pt was in the fully down position. You mention having it in a soft float mode????? Also, are you setting draft control? Thanks

    Value. You did a good job of putting years of experience into 1 hour. Just enough repetition for it to sink in. Hard to believe the road was so smooth when you were done. Would like to get out the garden hose and see how the water moves, or visit after a good rain. Thanks.

    I'm about to pick up a 52 Ford 8n today. I plan on using it manage the 6.7 Archers I just purchased. This video was extremally helpful on learning basic technique to be able to regrade portions of my gravel drive. In high school my family lived at the end of a 1/4 mile gravel drive and we purchased a 57 Massy-Ferguson TO30 tractor to maintain the drive. I realize now all the mistakes my 17 year old self made trying to fix that driveway.

    Outstanding Value! I bought a place out in rural west, refinished the house and rented a bobcat 12 years ago now. I did a terrible job on grading then. Since our last winter, I'm sick of the puddles, lakes and mud that stands on the acre so I bought a used Honda H6522 with six attachments. Your educational videos are instrumental to Me getting it right this time! On day two of cutting in a couple Swales to channel runoff. This lot is flat as a pancake so I appreciate your time and patience. By the way, this is a blast! Thanks.
