That is what the bucket is used for. A lot of wasted time using the back blade backwards. That's for smoothing it out. I have found just tipping the bucket down a little and in float does better.
Thank you for your input. I didn't really think about using the bucket. The only other stone grading experience I have is from adding a few inches of 53s to an existing gravel pad so we could sit shipping containers on it. With that stuff (53s) the more you blade it like this, the more passes you make, the more it smooths out and locks together forming a hard surface. These #8's don't move the same as 53s and I did waste a lot of time (about 11 hours total). But in the end, it was fun and the neighbor was happy. Appreciate you following. God bless.
Don´t rev the engine that high, when you only drive slowly anyway, lower engine RPM and use the hydro more. When I use my B7100 and slowly run around the yard I seldom need to rev above 15-1700 RPM. Well done! Cheers!
Thank you for your comment! That's exactly how I approached this massive task - one blade at a time (across 2 videos)! The little sub-compact Kubota B7100 tractor definitely proved to be a hard-working and reliable partner in helping me spread all that stone. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to enjoy our content!

Same way you eat an elephant, one bite at a time.
