That tractor seems to be doing just fine Buddie. I remember moving a similar pile of gravel back in the 70’s with a wheel barrel and a heavy rake, over about 600 feet plus of driveway.
I know the job is long done but you should also have product in the front bucket. Taking a little of the top each blow and dropping it in the low spots or up towards the road way. Of course it is easy for me to sit back and give directions as opposed to doing it myself.
The blade came as part of the package when I bought the tractor used. Unfortunately, it has no make listed on it. Otherwise, it's a cat 1 sized 60" blade. Keep in mind, this is bigger than what the tractor is designed for. The machine is capable of push/pulling plenty of material with it, but there is an issue in that the hitch doesn't lift high enough to provide adequate clearance for the blade on less than flat terrain. There are several spots on my property where if I have the blade all the way up it still digs into the ground. If you have a B7100 tractor, cat 1 60" blade will fit, but consider a sub-compact rated 48" blade instead.

Constructive input is always welcome! No worries, I'm always looking for things I could do better next time. Thank you for your interest.
Not sure if you’ll respond. Was just curious what attachment that is and where you purchased it. Looking for the same blade for my kubota! Thanks

How much was that?
He told me but I don't recall exactly. Somewhere in the $700 range.
