Finally got to try it out today. I was pleasantly suprised. Did my hard pack gravel driveway first. Did OK but I think I could have made it better if my hydraulic angling rear blade would have been here. Problem I had with the box is it pulls out big boulders and drags them making grooves.
But what really impressed me is when I went to fix my washed out bushroad. I didn't think that little tractor would pull a full box of wet loamy sand uphill, but it did, and only spun out when I got over a big hole that I just filled in and was still soft. Not to mention worked 6.5 hours straight at 2000 RPM and I still have over half a tank of fuel.
I couldn't attack the big washout on my big hill yet. Was still way too wet with runoff still flowing. So I just made a ditch and a berm to divert it from the section I fixed for now. I only use the road to go get my firewood or to ride my atv around the yard.

And only 6.5 hours of work for many years of being able to use it
