I have done numerous driveways with a box blade. If you don't mind a little advice, raise your scarifiers up to about midway or maybe to the second hole where it is just below the grader blade. The only reason you would need to go deep with them is to break up any potholes. If you look at your end result, you can see that you have pulled up some of the larger rocks that are from your base layer. You don't want to pull those up. This will allow your 3/4" and smaller stone below the base layer and will eventually be lost into the dirt/clay. The larger base layer is there to keep the driveway stable and prevent stone from basically being swallowed up by the ground. The 3/4" locks into the base layer spaces and then each other to remain on top. So, the less depth you dig down with the rippers, the less likely you are to pull up the base layer. I have been doing driveways for a few years, so I have some experience, however I'm always willing to watch others and see if I can learn more as well as give advice from my experiences. Other than going too deep, you have done a great job. The driveway looks great.
Great video, thank you for not ruining it with drums or cheap fill in music. Why people feel compelled to add music to cheapen the content of the video is beyond any reasoning I can think of.
Great video, good explanation. I have spread gravel myself and I have asked dump truck operator to spread for me. Here in Midwest our dump trucks can dump with their back door chained open just a few inches to allow the trucks to spread as they travel down your driveway. Makes it quicker to finish grade. Again thanks for your video.
Best video explaining how to use your box blade to crown your road.
Key point was to “crown” the road by putting a slight side-to-side tilt on the box blade. 👍
Great video to watch. Thanks for keeping simple to follow. The road looks great!
Love the step.by step.commentary and the camera view.
Nice looking Tractor!
Very informative video... love driveway repairs!
Love the content... Love the video! Great channel!
This is good advice, however you need to try and slow the water down before it gets to the out fall trench. Also remember when you are planning maintenance try to do it when it is wet. Not bogging down, but enough to hold the fines of the stone, that way you don't end up with nothing but big gravel afterwards.
Absolutely great video. One of the best that I've seen along with the explanations.
Idk if it's just not deep enough but I don't see much happening behind the box blade. Unless it's all rock? Perhaps the pitch of the blade isn't correct. But also I would probably say using most implements other than say a mower should probably be ran in low. If you pitched your blade more it probably wouldn't run as well in medium.
From what I could see in his video, there was more stone being gathered from the lower side inside the box. So basically, the outside was cutting barely into the driveway. The inside was probably slightly above the surface. This makes the stone in the box go toward the center of the driveway which makes the crown. With the center of the driveway higher, water will run off or flow off the driveway to the sides. With no standing water in the driveway, it prevents potholes.
Damn brother, good job..
how do you level the blade without making sure the tractor is level first. it could be half bubble off then you level the blade then move the tractor then the blade would be off again.
It’s a good question. I generally try to either do it in a fairly level spot or, if I want it to be really precise, I do it inside the workshop.
Your box blade in neutral position while grading driveway. Newbie thanks
you never showed what the box blade was doing?
A driveway will pack in tight if you use the 3/4" with dust, almost like a cement driveway. The scarifiers or rippers break up the driveway. He was scooping into the pile of 3/4" and spreading it to his lower areas or thinner areas. Once he had spread the pile throughout his driveway, he used the box blade to grade it. Making it level and smooth instead of having waves as you drive down the driveway. With the angle or tilt of the box blade, it allows more material to flow toward the center. This helps with water run off to the sides of the driveway and prevents pools or puddles in the driveway.
Have u looked at the hydronic top link
nein, vas ist?
Does your box blade come with a fingernail clippers?
Yeah, was very distracting. I was thinking cocaine nail.
Wouldn't you put the box blade in float?
Most smaller tractors all you have is float. No power down.
I watch a guy that does mostly gravel drives. He claims to be a expert and he gives instructions like your doing. Him and his wife will video conversation with u for 75 bucks for 30 minutes. I watch all his videos and he doesn’t ever talk about fixing the road base or ditches. He mainly just hauls more crusherrun and the he tops it off with washed 3/4
Edits in the middle of sentences?
Wash oats? 😳
Should be in low with a hst!
Don't listen to this guy! He's Canadian!
Damn! I had earphones on when your voice came over. Thought i was listening to a 70s D J. “Easy listening with your host C H E S S C O T T F A R M” 🎶🎵🎵🎶

My Boss snowplows had a float option, but I don't think a box blade on a 3-point hitch can am I wrong?
