I have that very same KK box blade,.... and also 3 rear blades.
I had a cheap auctioned rear blade and didn't really like it at the time. It did okay grading and moving snow but I came across this older kk box blade and liked it that it was heavier built for the hook ups. I used it in snow and like I can actually pull the snow away vs just window it. Looking at those land planes in the past it seems like a 1 pass type tool, I like the box blade as a multiple job tool it might not be the right tool for some of the jobs but it's still usable and I feel better having 1 tool sitting then multiple.
I have an EA "6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blade" which IMHO is the very best for grading.
I think they just look clean from a distance. I know mine is filthy. Nothing bent yet.
I think a lot of it is, like mine, they look better in pictures than upon close inspection in person.
I promise mine is not clean today…neither is my road
after about 2 hrs hauling wood up and out. What I did not leave on the road is flung up on the MMM…oopsies. Path through the woods is pretty defined and there is no mistake which barn the tractor went in…any forensic farmer knows who did it today on our road 
. 
Very nice! Only -11C here today but no chance my garlic is peaking through the straw or 2 feet of snow yet! Cheers.
We still got a ways to go…it’s barely March…what’s likely to happen is trees start budding and then will have a cold snap. My bees have been bringing pollen back to hive yes treerday and today…they seem to like the warm up. I suspect my sap season may be about over as the trees may start healing themselves. It’ll be rain/mud season soon enough.
Your gravel does look good but I definitely prefer using the land leveler over the box blade on the driveway. I think it takes a lot more skill (that you clearly have) to do a good job with a box blade. I'm no expert with the land leveler but it does such a good job after a couple of passes. The photos below show the first passes. I'll be ordering gravel this year and probably rent a roller to pack it all in and get the camber right. The EA box blade does a great job of moving dirt though. Hard to beat it in that role.
it’s on the list…this year should be able to get to it….its a shame the tree I hauled out today and the one there in the pic were my best sap producers (black walnuts… had the other milled…if the trunk is good I’ll do the same with the wifes retirement tree…lost them both (and several others) in a storm 2 years ago (straight line winds)…I’m still cleaning up…its number two in the hole though…I have a big locust tree to get to first.
Yeah…thats my spousal units most valuable tree…if the timing is right, that single black walnut tree is worth a 401k, pension, some other investments, a safe full of firearms and two GSDs that poop like horses and about 40acres….if the timing is right. I hope to get to it soon so the spousal unit has to keep working. Every time I want to cut it up seems like she wants to take me to dinnerThat is a little intimidating for sure.
My ROPS bar comes out through the fenders and already had a couple holes punched on both sides, so I made a bracket and mounted two of those. Chain and clevis’ on the right, a few hand tools (rubber mallet, channel locks, big prying screwdriver) on the left, just enough stuff for swapping implements and pulling out small stumps.
