Box blade advice

[mcmxi]

Box blade can do the job, but a land plane IS the tool for the job.

Box blade just takes some finesse and readjusting.

I started out with an EA box blade but ended up with an EA land leveler (land plane) as well. As you say, it's the bees knees for gravel driveways.

I'm new to it but I now know that by putting the scarifers down a couple inches it takes out the weeds great, followed by leveling it out. My driveway to my garage was getting out of hand since my shoulder replacement. I've done it like 4 times so far and I just got it late last summer. Even better now that I got the correct top link! Now it's actually waveless.

I took measurements of top link when box is level front to back and when it's tilted for rear blade to just drag. Yea I could just eyeball it but it works great at those settings and depending on grade I'm setting on at that time it's just easier.

I just wish the BX had the 3pt settings stops, sometimes I feel like I'm over working the 3pt hydraulics.

Thanks, i did have some success without the scarifers. Thought though of going medium like a rake to churn only not collect. Then pull them up and grade

That's what I did this last time and it worked great!
