2023 Kioti NX5510 building a driveway crown with ANCIENT back blade (NO fancy implement!)

Welcome to Project 291! If this is your first video, thanks for joining us today! But this video is just a small piece of the puzzle as we are smack dab in the middle of making improvements to this 291 acre Southern Illinois investment property! In today's episode Pro Staffer Phil will be using his new 2023 Kioti NX5510 compact tractor and like a 100 year old tractor back blade! OK, it might only be like 80 years old, but the point is that you don't need any fancy new implements to build a driveway crown with your tractor! A simple tractor back blade will do the trick just fine! This entire new section of driveway was low and always held water for weeks after any rain. So we've been adding dirt to it now for a couple of weeks and it finally dried up enough to build a new crown on the dirt driveay to prepar it for driveway stone. But sure to stay tuned and consider subscribing to the channel to catch the future episode of building this driveway and adding stone and using our Kioti tractors to complete the mission! Thanks for joining us today I hope to see you on a future episode from Project 291 here at Kapper Outdoors 2.0! #kapperoutdoors #kapperoutdoors2 #kioti #kiotitractor #kiotitractors #kiotinx5510 #kiotiusa #gradingdriveway #buildingacrown #drivewaycrown #drivewayrunoff

Looks good, all prepped and ready for a layer of stone.

yes this worked out great even with an ancient back blade! Glad to see it since I'll now be doing all grading work with a tractor!

The old blade did a great job 💪 you can get a trail wheel for them that allows it to float better 👍

[@KapperOutdoors2.0]

yeah it sure did! I'm sure a wheel would be nice. But hey, we made it work in a pinch! And a great crown it made! :) Thanks

That "old" blade is probably better quality than anything you can buy today!

[@KapperOutdoors2.0]

Well I can't argue with that one for sure!! And NO electronics on it! :0

Looking good Kapper❤

Thanks Brett, finally making some headway on project 291!

Sorry Kap, but your tractor letters and numbers don't tell me much of anything. You're going to have to get back to naming your different tractors so I know which is what. The job on the drive looks like its good enuf for who its for. Keep up the good work!!

I guess we might need new nicknames! But this crown turned out awesome!
