Grading the Driveway with a Land Pride Box Blade and EA Landscape Rake (#61) 

Never thought about turning rake around for a final coat. Will have to give it a try!

You guys with trees and grass make me so jealous. I live in the desert. But I don't have to deal with snow. Ever.

I never thought about running the landscape rake backwards does a nice job thanks for the idea nice work.

Good evening Sir, great tractor action and looking very good main entrance !!! Cheers !!

💥 Very nice demo on how to use each implement. Enjoy that nice smooth driveway. Keep on tractoring!

That turn out great Martin!! The right tools makes a job so much better! Enjoyed watching! Have a great week!!

Martin! Sorry to catch up so late been away all weekend! This is great timing! I need to tune mine up before the (eventual) snowfall! Thanks for sharing!

Good morning DIY! The driveway looks great! Interesting work with the landscape rake - very handy. I don't use large size gravel at all here - only crusher run. The box works great on that gravel. Like new again! Have a great week!

wish I knew about your channel long ago...love seeing equipment at work

Great DIY! I certainly have been learning a lot of tips and tricks from your videos!

Excellent video. Looking forward to your review of the EA landscape rake

Fine mighty fine job.

At first glance, it looked like you needed new crushed stones to get the job done. I am impressed with the result! Great! Thanks!

ALWAYS get road working implements wider than the tractor - for the reason you mentioned at 3:50!

Love this channel. I have just bought the same rig! L3901 HST and the BB1260 . I am kind of scratching my head as to why I let my dealer talk me into the BB1260 when I told him I was perfectly fine spending more money on the BB1560. My NY State driveway looks very similar to yours (although steep in some areas of the 1/2 mile), and I'm glad to see it working well with the 3901.

Nice job. Thanks for the education

Ripper job on your driveway. I use a grader blade to do mine but i reckon I could do it in half the time with a box blade, might be time to look at getting one. Thanks for showing us your technique.

Awesome video!

I have the landscape box with two blades and it works pretty well on it's own, but I must admit raking it for a final smoothing really makes a big difference. Unfortunately I have a lot of big rock under my gravel and if I do too much I end up getting too many on top. Hopefully eventually after having more gravel put on top a couple more times I may get to where I can go deeper and get better results. Very nice video. I am just starting out and may never get to a rake. I have the land planer, rotary cutter, front loader and a wood chipper. My next high priority item is a grapple. That will happen in the next few months. Great video.

Nice work.

nice job looks great!

Hey DIY! Love the video. I don't have a box blade or landscape rake. My Landpride Grader Scraper does the job well for me. I see how much more aggressive the box blade is and it does a great job. It was a difficult choice for me whether to get a box blade or grader scraper. Thanks for this informative video.

Great. Thanks.

Hi, nice demo f the usage of rake, it might be hard to get that purchase past my wife. Lol. I still need a box blade and a grapple. Just starting out in Tractor world in our new place next month.

Thanks, that helps

Looking good. That box blade does a great job. I think you could pass just fine without the rake and just use the BB.

How's she goin'? What a difference in the lane eh!! The box blade is a great attachment. I think it was a smart plan to turn the landscape rake around to finish off the grading. I'll have to try that the next time I use my rake. Thanks for the idea. Take care!!!

You should think about maybe investing in on off set greater blade , that way you can just set it off to one side and angle it so it pulls everything up from the sides to the center and you can also be able to tilted so you can make a crown in your driveway. Just something for you to think about

Hi, great videos, when you do your landscape rake review, wondering if you can test it out on a sandy beach if you have one near by. If not so be it. Thanks

Great video. Just found your channel this morning, and loving what I'm seeing. Off topic question. I saw that the level adjuster on your 3 point was a crank style instead of the the normal one where you turn it by hand. Where did you get it?

From what I heard, Everything Attachments went out of business recently, and before they did, they dropped a lot of orders.

Good job with the box blade and landscape rake. Did you review the rake yet? Heard they have a 6 way hydraulic version where rear blade and that rake can be swapped out.

Great Job I will be doing my driveway later after winter more than likely looks great ! Dang with No new gravel ! Great what software do you use for your videos it is awesome !

Nice job. If you spread calcium chloride on the areas you have washouts it will form up the stone and stop most washouts. I used to have washouts after almost every rain. Not anymore. The calcium chloride areas are now like concrete.

Great video thanks. How do you keep the road level? I find if there is any small dips or hills the tractor amplifies these like a teeter totter as it moves over them.

That is amazing. How do you know when the drive is to far gone for a box blade? I'm not sure if the stone is to far down in the soil on the drive.

Wow! Great video and very helpful for me. I have EA box blade and landscape rake. I’m a novice on the driveway maintenance. I can get mine looking pretty good but end up with a lot of excess material from the box - I saw you build up a lot too - what do you do with it?

did you ever make the review video on the landscape rake? I'm looking to get one and would love to hear more on your opinion of this one. thanks.

Hello! Good job! When using a blade box, do you use floating mode? How far do the knives protrude from the bottom of the box?

This reminds me that I need to get out and do my driveway.

How long of a distance and how much time did it take to complete what is shown in this video? Thanks, Tim @ Cliffside Acres

Hello! I am new to box blades and just got one today. It looks like it is taking up a huge amount of rock but seems to be distributed evenly. How does taking a whole box full of rock not just move all your rock to the end of the drive way?

My driveway goes back to 1948. Any tips on this. The center has grown a long term patch of weed/grass. It is 3/4 minus. What topper after boxing? Any concrete powder ground in?

How much land do you have? Im debating if a 2501 is going to be eniugh for what im plan on getting

Great video , just wondering why you had the rake backwards?

Does low voltage cable not abide by the 2' depth requirement?

Are you using your draft control for the box blade?

whats the deal with the ammo cans ? is that custom added???

How deep do you set the rippers on the first pass?

Landplane is best for this

My rake bounces and chatters like hell when I flip it around.

Do you own a Harrow?

Less talk, more tractor work.
