Box Blade Fixing A Driveway Washout

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Hello Chris, it’s been a while since I’ve been over, I guess I just haven’t been seeing any notifications but saw your comment on someone else’s video and said dang, I need to go visit Chris so here I am. You are right in your assessment of the box blade and hope to see you again soon. Take care and have a blessed weekend.

[@crslyrn]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm Thanks.

That final result looks amazing Mr Chris!! You sure can do alot with a box blade!! Excellent details of the adjustments, and reasoning behind them!! I hope the rain will let you some on y'all this fall!! Thank you for bringing us along, look fwd to more sir!!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It turned out pretty good. As long as you get it adjusted correctly, it's pretty easy to use. Thank you!! 🙂

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm 😁😁👌

[@jankotze1959]

Looking very good Chris, you are the right Man with the right equipment to do this so nice

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thank you Jan! When you have the right equipment it's easy to make things look nice 🙂

[@onehappyfarmer3461]

Looks good. I bet it looks like a river flowing down that hill when it rains hard.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It sure does! I need to get a boat or something 🤣

[@longviewfarm226]

I’m close to buying one of those. I was contemplating putting a hydraulic top link on it. Great video

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

A hydraulic top-link would work great with a box blade. Easy adjustment on-the-go!!

[@wildcatwilly]

You and I have almost the same equipment. Awesome to find a new channel to watch. My channel is growing slowly... Good video will be watching in the future.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@raymondharris1712]

Thank you for this video. I am a beginner with a box spreader and you answered a lot of my questions. I have been searching for some time now and although there are some helpful videos out t here, this, in my opinion is the best by far. Again, thank you for this video.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Looks good to me! Always nice to have the toys needed for the job👍😎

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It sure is! Though I wish it would stop raining so the driveway would stop washing out 🙃

[@farmerpete]

That did a nice job. I should get one of those. Seems like once or twice a year now a huge rain washes the gravel down the driveway, I have to drag it back up.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

They really are an easy way to pull the gravel back up a hill. Thanks 🙂

[@GeigerFarm]

I need a box blade/scraper...have wanted one for years ;) just keep finding other things to buy!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

They are quite a handy, simple tool to have. And it's definitely easy to find stuff to buy 🤣

[@johnnyfudpucker6187]

thanks for the tips you helped me

[@Theblindfarmer]

And you have to have patients and take your time they do a really good job

[@deanbarr5740]

My favorite implement is the box blade Chris. I got one about 4 years ago and I'm gonna have to replace the scarifiers . I've seen some pretty good videos with the land plane. You made it look pretty easy.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Thanks Dean. It is easy to use when adjusted correctly, so it made me look good 🤣 I have seen some videos on land planes too, and they seem like a good tool for smoothing driveways. I've always wondered how they would do filling in bigger washouts. I'm not sure if they drag enough material with them.

[@michiganhay7844]

Yeah couple years ago I got that white loader tractor and it came with a box blade and I was at first going to get rid of it because I said I’m a farmer what am I gonna do with us then I found out how great it is for fixing driveways

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

They sure are! It will also work for some grading, as long as the dirt is dry 🙂

[@703am]

looks a lot like my drive way after a heavy rain , although you have more drive way than i do...i just use my old 1972 Bolens garden tractor with a snow blade to level it out again

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Too much driveway LOL

[@brycewiborg8095]

I'm trying to imagine the volume of water it takes to move all that rock. Thanks Chris.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Almost enough to ride a kayak down 🤣

[@dunerider450f]

What kind of roller did you finish your driveway with?

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

*Looks nice I have had good luck with 3in with the 2a with dust over it rc is a bit different here everyone has a different name for it. Glad all the water is on your side of the state its been decent over here lol* #WorldsOkayestFarmer

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I've noticed from region to region materials seem to be called different things. Are you sure you don't want some rain??? I'd be happy to share 😉🤣🤣

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

@@dehavenfamilyfarm we are getting some tonight and tomorrow im good.

[@apatchofheavenfarm2814]

Getting a bit behind I haven't used a box blade yet

[@chargermopar]

Skid steer would be faster in my opinion but for those with only a tractor this works well.

[@michiganhay7844]

What attach meant on a skid steer would you use

[@chargermopar]

@@michiganhay7844 Dirt bucket most of the time but the 4-in 1 bucket works for those who prefer a box blade.
