In this video I use a Kubota L2501 and Land Pride BB1260 box blade to repair a gravel driveway after a long, harsh winter. The drive had a number of potholes and areas that needed to be fixed.
Here we successfully repaired and re-graded the gravel driveway in a short amount of time.
Thanks for watching!

A hydraulic top link works awesome with a box blade! It’s a must have accessory!!

Thanks for the video.I have the exact same setup and I need to fix the driveway into our horse boarding facility here in Central CA. Unfortunately, I spent most of the video in awe of your beautiful property. I should probably watch it again... Thanks!

Thanks! Those small adjustments to the top link seem to be the only difference between a quick project and making an even bigger mess. Good luck!

I’ve got the same box blade. You commented about the clips. I bought that particular blade due to those spring clips after having a box blade with the standard hairpin clip and pin. I keep pliers on the tractor anyway and find dropping and losing the big spring clips is less common than dropping and losing those tiny hair pin clips. I also made a drop in bolt to keep the scarifiers in place that can simply be lifted and the scarifier adjusted. It works great and is too less. Good work. I do driveways pretty much just like this fairly frequently.

Thanks for the insight! I don't plan on upgrading the box anytime soon but it sounds like those clips might be worth the trouble. I appreciate it!

I bet it is; I've never adjusted that little knob under the seat. It's probably causing unessary wear and tear on the implements. Thanks for pointing that out!

Interesting to see how Americans scrape the Roade her in Norway we don't use this box blades and laneplane we use a blade witch we can adjust with hydraulics we always pull the materials to the middle of the Roade that way you get a curve on the Roade and all the water goes straight away from the road and you then don't get so much pot holes seems that you keep the roads absolutely flat in America and that way the water have almost no way to go so it stays in the road and keeps making more pot holes

Thanks for the insight! Agreed; with a decent crown, the pothole should be few and far between. Thanks for watching!

Yes but a blade is almost useless if you don't rip up the surface with the scarifiers. Otherwise you will have nothing to grade with your blade.

So your taking the high spots and lowering them?
@Academy_Farm

Better described as loosening all the spots, high and low, and then grading them as we see fit.

Nice video! I have a similar problem with my long driveway in one spot. Each year potholes develops. Any idea how to prevent the potholes from coming back?
@Academy_Farm
@Academy_Farm Год назад
Thanks, Paul. Potholes wouldn't exist without water. Really solid substrate combined with an appropriate crown should theoretically prevent potholes from returning.
@georgea6403
@georgea6403 Год назад
They say you have to dig a hole with sharp corners. Like with a backhoe bucket. Then fill with gravel with the fines in it. With the tapered sides of the bottle stones just want to disperse out with the squared off corners it won’t disperse out as easy.

It seemed on video that the tractor was running maybe a bit to fast especially when you had the rippers down causing the box blade to jump and skip ...😮
@Academy_Farm
@Academy_Farm Год назад
Perhaps! That box is only 350lbs, and the driveway is generally very hard and riddled with softball-sized rocks. It probably wouldn't have hurt to be low gear and to creep along for the ripping phase.

@Andrew Aitken Yep! The rippers are better suited for slow and steady. I broke the tip in the woods on a large, jagged boulder; but nothings saying that couldn't happen in the driveway as well.

The most common cause of losing tips is backing up with the scarifier still in the ground. Definitely a no no. : )
