You Haven't Seen A Grader Box Like This!

[@digdrivediy]

Thank you to all that entered to win! This contest closed on 5/5/24. Winner will be drawn the week of 5/6/24 and announced on this channel soon.

[@kathyscott]

This would be a game changer for us

[@daveyoung5849]

Great video as always!

[@andrewb1711]

This would be great for maintaining by driveway and leveling my yard

[@GrnEyeDevilsFan2022]

We are prepping land to build a house so we can move home from NYC back to TN. We just bought a used tractor and are looking at our needs vs budget and this is exactly what my husband said we needed to get next!! We have to build our grandkids a practice soccer mini field and baseball practice field too. This would definitely get some good family, friend, and community use in our hands.

[@LeighHart]

Would love one of these, sadly I’m 90 minutes over the border in Canada 🙃🥴

[@unknown_user9562]

This looks like a very handy tool, would love to give one a shot!!!

[@JustOneMan100]

Amazing what a little garden tractor can still get done 30+ years later. Watching your work is an inspiration to keep mine going.

[@rgirod4164]

I like the battery powered grader, very good idea.

[@jameswarden9382]

My wife, kids, and myself have made watching your videos an every Sunday event. We enjoy how your channel is family oriented and instructional. Our twins enjoy seeing your twins and my son really enjoys all the tractors. Thank you for all the videos and we look forward to next week!

[@jodyfields3985]

This could help a lot on my hobby farm as we try to fill in low spots.

[@DonDomel]

Sunday 13:45 in Poland, straight after dinner watching DDD with coffee and cakes :D relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@digdrivediy]

Love it! Thanks for watching!

[@johnnycassidy3193]

Neil, I enjoy your videos every week. I stumbled across your channel last fall and went back to the beginning. I believe I've watched every one you've posted. I am the Road Superintendent and Cemetery Sexton for my local Township in southwest Ohio. We Maintain 52 miles of Twp Roads , 5 Cemeteries and a Community Park. My 14yo son and I mow yards on the side and I have a 3520 Kioti Tractor with a loader. I do small dirt jobs and gravel driveways. Like you, I stay busy and go non-stop for the most part. Those grader boxes are pretty cool and seem to work great. Keep doing what you do.

[@digdrivediy]

Sounds like we'd get along just fine! Thanks so much for watching!

[@jonpaxin558]

Great to have the wireless function!

[@JD9RX830]

Oh man! This would be awesome to finally fix my yard. After living in this house for 6 years and having an unlevel yard with nothing but rocks, roots, and weeds, I could have dirt hauled in and have my dream yard. I help friends do yard work here and there and this would come in so handy not only for me but helping others which makes me happy!

[@John_Ridenour]

That's a really great idea, and would really work well to grade our farm driveway, our miles of trails, and our grass waterway that needs graded after tiling.

[@klschofield71]

Hey Neil, not that you're going to need it, but here's your reminder to grab another battery for the grader box. DON"T FORGET AN EXTRA BATTERY!!

[@digdrivediy]

Dang it! :)

[@michaelmaker8169]

Ah you beat me to it. 🤣

[@oldsquare1]

This would be such a great tool to finally get my yard leveled out! Love your videos!

[@kathyscott]

This implement is exactly what we need to work our .43 acres of land up near the Petrified National Park in Northern Arizona. Lots of rocks and dirt to move around. Thanks for the introduction to this great scraper box, and the battery lift is amazing!

[@JonathanWittwer]

I would love the grater box because I own a cabin in Wisconsin and need it to grade our nasty half mile road. This would also be helpful because my neighbors have nasty looking yards so I would redo their yards. Thank you.

[@SB_Construction]

That is a great idea! Also gives the ability to let a neighbor borrow the grader and not have to work about electricical!

[@digdrivediy]

Good point. All your neighbors would love you!

[@terrellandkaren]

As always, nice video. That little tractor sure is a beauty

[@AaronHenry-lk6er]

Signed up to win! Would love to use this on the driveway.

[@AustinYoder-kj4pd]

I’m blown away at how long a battery would last! Pretty handy!

[@aaronburford5701]

I just love the way you use your box blade! The driveway is the best......I am going to get a box blade just because!

[@nathanschultz8114]

That would make a nice addition to the arsenal for fixing up the yard after i rut it up with the backhoe .

[@paulblackman4833]

That thing is just what I am looking for.

[@CineMotoYT]

Awesome implement, i would love to have on of these handy things!

[@nhdetailpro]

It's a great thing you are doing here Neil! Keep up the good work! My son and I would love to win the grader box!

[@rodgersnore]

Neil you and Northwoods are doing a great service to every one who watch this video. I always like your comments on all of your adventures and keep on trucking!

[@amos850]

Got hooked on the pond build videos, but honestly I have stayed for the grader boxes and all the miscellaneous equipment content. Great channel and awesome family!

[@AaronHeying]

That box is sweet! I'm in a wheelchair so I love the fact of not having to run the wires or needing to re-connect each hookup!

[@TitanTn]

I've never seen anyone else use these boxes, but you're a pro with them - the best salesman for this industry!

[@DuffHollywood]

The battery option on this design with the remote functionally is awesome, this looks like a great product. Thanks for the demonstration!

[@whatchadoinweavers]

We continue learning from you! Thanks for your wisdom. -WdW

[@matthewmainville758]

Watching this was so calming. I need one of these for my 1/2 mile driveway up north. Currently dragging a old piece of train rail behind my truck to smooth stuff out.

[@lipscombjared]

Love your channel, I just recently found my own 318 that was all original!! Love what you do on here

[@Ramsfan99954]

Awesome work on that ball field! As a former coach and now umpire I appreciate the effort you put into that.

[@jeffwilliams7985]

That is brilliant!! Love this

[@joshkrisher5862]

Your videos have become a Sunday morning tradition before church. I appreciate how you show your thought process and execution. Great work!

[@blakeedge8066]

After watching this video, I realize I've been taking care of ballfields wrong all these years, but not anymore! Learn so much watching the things you do!

[@michaelreed8679]

Versatile and handy piece of equipment to have for anyone with land. The ability to hook up to just about anything with a draw bar and no wires to connect is certainly a plus as well!

[@brentlytle2747]

He added a cover over the control box after my suggestion of moving light snowfalls with it! That’s awesome. Love my Northwoods box scraper!

[@BarryWestfall]

Looks like a great product. Will enjoy using it on my gravel drives and some landscaping

[@KT4RAM]

That is cool! Most of my cordless tools are 20v Dewalt so those may work with the Northwoods grader box. Thanks for the video. 🚜

[@20x20shop]

That’s a great grader box. Cordless is a great idea.

[@trentweilbaker5726]

Another great and informative video. Love seeing all your equipment.

[@curbtec00]

I would love to use this for smoothing out the rough spots on my property and driveway. Even if I don't win, I want to take this moment to express my love for your content. I look forward to Sunday mornings when I get to watch what new "or old" thing you're working on, or simply the stories everyday activities bring. Keep up the great work!

[@bryanhauck6213]

Hi Neil, I have a family cabin in Pennsylvania woods with a 1 1/2 mile driveway. This would make life a lot easier to maintain it. Looks like a great product.

[@joshtaylor6748]

This is exactly what I need for my property! We have had a lot of dirt work done since getting our property 3 years ago. Unfortunately by a local company that seems to lack the finesse and attention to detail we’d like to see. This would really clean up our mess.

[@plasticgod09]

It's amazing how good you make that look!

[@austinknowles7461]

I love the videos and I have been watching for a long long time still my favorite videos were when you rebuilt Bruno!!!

[@williamcarey4939]

Always a pleasure watching these videos. It helps someone like me still learning how to use things I have never had a chance to use.

[@timanderson7873]

Love your videos, good to see that there are people out there volunteering their time for great causes. Always good to see Bruno out there getting work done.

[@roadrunner71684]

Been considering building a hydraulic pull type box blade for my 420. Maintaining a couple driveways, scratching up crusted soil, and teaching my young sons the basics of earthwork.

[@jeffdavis4542]

What I love about this video and this tool is it’s exactly the use I would use it on between my long driveway and a couple softball fields we help maintain for youth fastpitch.

[@vernonledet1988]

I enjoyed the vedio very much and i sure could use a box blade like this for my john deere 317' Very ideal for my home use and side ground maintenance jobs.

[@braydengreenwood6588]

Neil, big fan and love the content! I’ve been watching for a while now and have always wanted a grader box like this for my 1975 JD 214. Keep it up. That 318 looks great!

[@adamlevin6088]

Those guys at Northwoods are really hitting it out of the park. Those grader boxes are really nice. I've been saving up for one myself -- we live on a private gravel road with 8 other families and when a big storm comes through, it ruts the road terribly. Having something like this to help repair the road without having to call in a big company for interim repairs would be great.

[@michaelmercado8978]

Neil, these pull type graders seem to be the ticket for the garden tractors. I made one for my grampa years ago, but its a hand crank to adjust and I've been meaning to change it to an actuator since he's 85 now. Brutus is a beast, I actually restored my 70's Ford LGT165 just before you started that series of videos, next one is my 70's JD 140H3. Keep the videos coming, they are great.

[@johnalkire464]

Im still in the long saving stage to buy property so i love watching your channel so i can enjoy fantasizing about working my own property in 2 years. Thank you for the therapeutic videos that keep me motivated to save my money. Im in your area as well so its nice to see you doing what i want to do. Keep up the good work!

[@calebwoodard3845]

Great video Neil you are always showing different attachments that can be used on little garden tractors and I love that about your channel

[@bclark2024]

Hey Neil, I have been watching Dig Drive DIY for about a year now, and my son and I have been watching every video you upload. We actually live about 40 minutes from you, up in Northwest Ohio. I think my son even sent a graduation party invite and a note to you a couple days ago. I have always wanted a grader box for my long driveway because every year after winter it gets all wrecked from the plow. We have a big utility tractor with a bucket that we use to level the driveway, but it never works like we want it to. A grader box would definitely help out the look of our driveway, and look super good on the tractor!!

[@Airn5475]

I love the wireless capability. So much less hassle than running a wire to the battery! Next remote feature: bucket tilting!

[@jacksonwojdylak6038]

So cool to see these implements being made more practical for folks who can’t quite afford a tractor with a 3 point hitch or maybe don’t need all the features of a hydraulic tractor

[@jkoop]

Love the idea of using tools batteries with the grader box. I have a 50 acre property with trails all through the woods that this grader box would do wonders to. I also help out our town with some of the field maintenance like yourself but only have a DIY steel box that just slides on the ground at the moment.

[@kyledoseck1480]

Love the battery powered wireless innovation. Definitely looking into one of these in the future (if I don’t win it🤣)

[@blakelee1231]

Something about watching your videos is just so wholesome and helps me to slow down and enjoy life in these fast pace days.

[@ihaveitallyo]

Such a great idea! Makes it useful for smaller tractors or 4-wheelers, etc. easy disconnect too so I could get back to mowing easily. Thanks for showing some great examples of how this tool can be used!

[@SandySchrader-uo9ho]

Love your channel. We watch every Sunday. We love how meticulous you keep your property! Can't wait to see more pond videos.

[@whereswardlaw]

Hello Neil and family! Love the channel. Been watching you ever since you got to go wheeling with Matt in Utah. While living full-time in our RV we made the annual pilgrimage to Nappanee IN for maintenance and really enjoyed the Amish country up there. Now we're settling down, selling the RV and bought a fully off-grid property in AZ that needs a lot of work. That box scraper would come in so handy! Acres of leveling to do. Thanks for the chance. If you make it to AZ give me a shout and I can take you on some fun Jeep Overlanding! Cheers. Eric

[@DeliSamich2023]

Love your channel… have been watching it now for over a year and look forward to it every Sunday evening when I get a chance to sit down and relax… learning a lot…

[@bklekampify]

Neil, your dedication to community is contagious. I look forward to your videos every Sunday!

[@jerryfoust3592]

This is amazing. My family would definitely consider this grader box to help with work around our property.

[@samwright3726]

That grader box does a great job and is perfect for stone drives and dirt. Thanks for sharing!

[@chadpearce7555]

Hi Neil, Always enjoy your Videos. Don't know how you keep your driveway looking so good. I have a gravel Drive and this little Box scraper would be Handy. Keep making the vides and we'll keep watching. 👍

[@jimcooke1744]

I always love watching your videos after church on Sunday. I don’t know how I found you, but I can’t get enough of your content. I appreciate how easy and laid back you present your content, and add nostalgia and purpose. A great job every time! I love this grader box and I need one for my long driveway and fixing my and my neighbors’ yard. Blessings to you!

[@fredhayball8553]

Between the snowplow and rain storms pushing the gravel off the crown of my driveway, having a box blade to grade with behind my lawn tractor would be the ideal solution. Great fit for the homeowners that do not own a real tractor.

[@gtuttle4]

Great videos, this box scrape is exactly what I need on my 400 foot gravel driveway. It's a step driveway and need grading fairly often. Keep up the great videos, by the way the pool turned out great!

[@joshc6080]

This is a awesome setup with the wireless remote! I use some homemade drags to maintain my local youth baseball fields and this drag box would make quick work of it. Great video as always 👍

[@jasonwaugh1947]

Great video! This would be a great addition to my yard tools. I’ve been wanting a grader box and this one would fit my need perfectly. Thanks for all your content.

[@skylarwarehime7494]

Now you need those ripper points on electric actuators! 😅

[@OutdoorsEngineer]

Hey Neil! I love how you volunteer your time for the ball diamonds. I've just become president of the local youth softball club and will have to take your lead and put my time in. It's great for the community and for the kids!

[@12aaf24]

Would be crazy to be using that for the driveway. Wife would be happy that it looks good

[@ktzshowpigs]

DDD has become a Sunday evening ritual for me, Use so many of your videos as a reference on how I want to tackle or complete my own projects. Keep up the good work

[@joshualudecker9778]

I'm in contract to go from an 18,000 square foot property to a 5 acre property in Bunnell Florida. Taking a big leap of faith with my business and anything that can help me level the ground before I lay landscaping fabric and my nursery plants out would be amazing!

[@pokercapgun00]

Such a simple yet highly effective tool!

[@richardfillmore9580]

I love watching your channel. These are very similar projects to what I am doing around my area.

[@mtberetta686]

Hey Neil, I love how you DIY everything and no project is to small or to big to be tackled. I could defiantly put this box grader to work on addressing our driveway (3/4 of a mile out to the county road) and re-grading our yard at our home in NW Montana. Thank for all the entertaining projects.

[@wsmh20]

I'm always inspired by your projects. I can't wait to see what you do with the wood you milled. We have a friend with a portable mill and now I want some fresh boards. Can't wait to see how much you use the pool this summer 🤗

[@jadenboyles218]

I love how you take your experience and equipment and help out the community and your friends along the way that don’t have either. That’s what neighbors and friends should do. Great video love your stuff

[@taylorm.6429]

Thanks!

[@scottgoddard7243]

That looks awesome for doing driveways.

[@ShanesHobbyShop]

This is Awesome. Exactly what Im needing for my yard. Mine look almost like the Well but alot more bumpy.... Great job on the driveway and the Ball Park.

[@NoahDittberner]

Great video Neil, I think a box like this is a fantastic option for those who want to run a grader box behind their garden tractor or ATV, but don't want to wire it directly into there battery, or those who have machines that are not equipped with hydraulics. Your pond project really showcased how these grader boxes excel in finish grading. Great work!

[@timothykirkland6920]

First time viewer and I enjoyed the content. Been looking for something I could pull behind my 82 JD 212 to smooth out my dirt driveway, roughly 1200’ long.

[@ashleypotts7377]

My 18mon son asks for tractors every morning and we sit together and watch your videos! We have seen them all and love what you do! My husband built our home over the past few years and would love this for our long gravel driveway.

[@SuperstreetC10]

I work on 12 ball fields and 6 running tracks for a school district. This would be invaluable. I’ll be showing my boss tomorrow. Thanks for the video.

[@randalldominey8148]

Neil your videos sent me down a big rabbit hole looking into ways I can take care of my driveway after snow and mud season in New England. My current proposed solution is to either drag a railroad tie or build some sort of lumber contraption to help level it. Box blade grader is the way to go I have learned. Maybe one day.

[@dominicglymph2385]

Great job with the video, very informative and helpful!

[@redmonna]

That grader box does a professional job with a skilled operator such as yourself! Thank you for demonstrating this tool! This would be very useful for any DIYer.

[@mark02tj41]

Another great video, Neil! Always great to see two things - 1) how great your property always looks and 2) once again you and your family are out doing things to help the community! Good stuff!!

[@0bes]

First time commenter. Appreciate your videos. Grew up mowing lawns with a Craftsman Lawn Tractor. Picked up a BX23s Kubota to work a few acres that I purchased with my sister pre COVID. Only have a backhoe and bucket so far. Started watching when I stumbled upon you digging your backyard pond about a year ago. Keep up the good work.

[@johnpyle8027]

Hey Neil, don't forget the batteries! This is a great implement, I don't have a need anymore. I subscribed to your channel maybe 3 years ago. You were doing something with these little tractors and I had just bought a 1984 John Deere 430 with the Yanmar diesel and did pretty much the same thing you did with Bruno. Plus I saw your Super Duty dump trucks and loved them to pieces! Especially the black one. I had several questions and you were very helpful and I finished the tractor after a year. I had to source many parts that had been robbed over the years, but it was 100% when I was done. I made a ripper out of necessity. My sister had her septic system repaired and all tore up. The loader had made a mess and she couldn't get him back to finish grade. I took a square piece of 6x6 steel 5' long tube and I cut 1" square solid stock at a 45 degree angle and welded them to the 6x6 about every 7" making some gnarly spikes. I put a hitch on it that slid into my receiver and filled the 6x6 with concrete. I was skeptical, but what I threw together demolished the ruts and clots and pulverized everything perfectly smooth. I was really shocked. I never found a 48" tiller or loader for the 430 in the two years I owned it and that is the main reason I bought it. I'm not sure it was really quite big enough so I gave up and sold it for $6,000 and I don't know if I made any profit! lol Anyway I bought a new tractor, almost bought a Deere but (don't hate) I bough one of the South Korean 25 hp4x4 with a loader and 60" tiller tractor that was over $4,000 less than a comparable Deere with much higher capacities. I probably should have kept the 430 if for no other reason than anytime someone came into my shop the slobbered all over it! I guess you have to move on to get where you are going. Another great video! Keep em coming!

[@mylesloan]

I started watching your channel about 3 years ago when I saw your DIY Grader box video, and here you are giving one away! Congrats on the success of your channel, your videos are always a joy to watch.
