Easy Land Grading With The John Deere 1025R and the BB2048 Standard Duty Box Blade 

Why did you remove your roll over protection? Of all the stupid safety items crammed down our throats that one makes sense and works without causing any problems that I have ever encountered.

Great video. I have a 1023e with a BB2048. I just leveled a grave pad for a 40’ seacan. I need to ask you help. My 1023e has started having rear hydraulic lift trouble. Raises about 4” then sudden stop. Lowers fine. Then if I try a bunch of times, it will lift to full height. I have check everything the internet suggests. Do you think it could be hydraulic filter and screen needs cleaning? Thnx. David. Looking forward to watching your other videos

My boxblade won’t stay up in the air without me physically holding the lever at the top

Do as I say ! Not as I do lol

Thanks for your video. I have a question, why do you demonstrate everything with the ROPS removed when you specifically say it's dangerous? I don't mean to be negative but it does leave a bad impression.

Good morning, thanks for the video!

Gr8 video!

I’ve got a small roll in my yard where a bush and rock were. Could I use the box blade to cut this roll and level it out, or could I do a decent job with the bucket? I’m totally new to this tractor thing. Just rolled to 3.7 hours on my 1025r

You mentioned the bucket causing a little lift effect to the back wheels. Would it be helpful to remove the bucket, thereby lightening the front end by 180lbs or so, when using the box blade? BTW, after watching this video the 1st time, I shopped around and got a BB2048 and am very impressed with the quality of its heavy weight construction. I need to wait a few weeks for ground conditions to dry out a bit before I can try it out. I’m anxious to use it.

Hello - great video! I noticed when you started working on the drive the tractor is bouncing all directions as you note, yet the box blade stays level on the ground. How is that, is there play or an adjustment on the 3 point that allows the box blade to move independently of the tractor (side to side) to allow that movement? Just wondering,,,, thanks!!

I just got a great deal on a used 2048L and it wasn't really what I wanted, but the price was right. Still does a great job with only 3 scarifiers, but there are times when the tractor is really working to pull 3 barried scarifiers and a full box of dirt/gravel. I can't imagine that the bigger ones (60") with 5 tines are any easier to pull? The only thing about only having 3 tines is that I have to make more passes to tear the ground up more evenly. The one thing I'm not happy with is the scarifiers only have 3 holes to choose from and don't seem to go deep enough. I think I'm going to add a 4th hole with some welded on steel (or even just a nut) 1 inch up for just a tad more depth.

Good video friend 😊 have a 1025R myself and love it

Great video! My new 1025R will be delivered next week and I purchased the same box blade along with a couple other implements. Can’t wait to put it to use!

Good video. Wish you didn't have that thing scrolling continuously at the bottom.

Do you have fluid in the rear tires ?

Good one, and thanks for doing this. Great tutorial!

Excellent video! I’ll be subscribing to your channel. No distracting music, just natural audio with a detailed explanatory voice over. I got my 1st tractor last July, a Deere 2025R with loader & backhoe and am loving it. I’m glad I saw your video because I was thinking about buying a rear blade, but now can see what I really need is a box blade. Will my 2025R have enough power to use a 60” box blade, or would I be better off with the 48”?

Thank you for sharing , 👍👍👍👍

Great instruction - thanks!

great video. Cheers!

Great video!
