I bought the chisel plow also, run the chisel plow first then go over with back blade. Does a good job on my gravel drive here in Michigan.

Good to know! Thank you for the info! Are you using a UTV as well?

Those jam nuts are supposed to be jammed together with a 1/32 gap between the bottom nut and the tube below it. This lets you give the blade down pressure. Use spray silicone on the adjuster threads to make adjustment easier. I bought this identical set up. The gap is hard to see in the instructions if you’re in a hurry putting it together. Wish I would have bought the hydraulic version.

You may need to control the water runoff to stop those ruts from forming every year. Perhaps a drain pipe or some kind of diverter?

Yeah. I think you’re right. We’ve been thinking about adding French drain culverts especially on the hill roads

For anyone searching to find if you can use a real-life - sized box blade/ gannon with a SXS well, I configured a tractor-sized 700lb gannon to a winch/receiver hitch - works with a truck = awesome. However, on a SXS ? it's just too much weight

Wonder if the hydraulic lift would work better. Be able to put down pressure

That could be. We’ve considered different methods of weighing it down.

Are you planning to try a low maintenance garden of some kind?

We are planning on planting up here, but we are thinking more of a small orchard. Maybe avocados or apples. We are still in the research phase. I’d love to have a garden here, but until we have a green house the deer and rabbits would pose a major problem.
