Christy's commenting rocks, I loved hearing her input. That hydraulic box blade is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I would imagine in weeks time a person could get so good with one of those he could smooth the surface of moon. I just want to say, TTWT is not only a place I come to be educated in small tractors and the latest in cool implements and accessories, but a place I can come to escape this nasty world. God bless all of you in the TTWT family and your viewers.

I grew up having to deal with a 2A limestone driveway, close to the length of the one you're doing. Every now and then, we always had to have my uncle bring his dump truck and deliver some more stone. Seeing the tandem efforts of the box blade and land plane could've saved us some money over the years.

I hate to fuss, but at the end, the first thing I noticed was Kristy was setting on the land plane. It was lifted in the air a bit and her foot was in between the cross beams. I was thinking she should not set there unless the thing was resting on the ground. That would be better than resting on her foot. But it was a great video and I enjoyed hearing her comments. I enjoy most of you videos and I guess I could do binge watching if I had time. Love your channel.

Nice thing about farm size tractors is you can use the draft control which automatically varies the 3 point depth according to load. We had a Massey Ferguson 65 that was ahead of it's time in this regard in the 1960's. Of course the larger John Deeres also had a different variance of it. Oops, that just dated me.

the first time we get the scarifiers... we set them all the way down and then we understand why its not really usefull because a lot of time, we end up mixing the lower layer that could be old concrete blocks, old bricks, big rocks, or even a fabric!. nowadays, I run the scarifiers maybe 2 inch max, enough to mix everything on the top, I just run several passes. the box blade you got is really nice.

Story time! I have a 750 foot gravel driveway that I have to maintain. When I got my first tractor (1023E) I got an older 5 foot box blade with mechanical scarifiers. It’s a great tool for this kind of job, but I have to say that I suck fairly extremely at using it. I always seemed to get too much material in the box and found it hard to distribute evenly. I also found that when I lifted the three point to release some of the material sometimes I would lift it too high and dump too much material, creating a hump. If I had to drive over the hump on my next pass it could cause the box blade to dig in. This takes a lot of practice and can be frustrating I’ve found. Like I say I suck at it! Several months ago I bought a land pride gs1548 land plane and what a difference. As you’ve said Tim, the learning curve if way simpler and I’ve found that the finished job is nicer. My land plane has scarifiers and I find it will do anything I would do with the box blade on my property. If I need to move material instead of spreading it, I usually use the loader anyway. Also it was nice to see and hear what Christy has to do while filming these awesome videos, and it shows how much editing has to be done...a little hint as to how much work you both have to put into these videos. So thank you for all the hard work you put into this channel. Over the years you’ve taught me a lot and cost me a lot of money! Lol...now I have a 1025R TLB, and an attachment addiction!

You had the right tool with the box blade. You would have been fine without using the digging tines if you had tilted the box front edge down to scrape up the small rocks and then tilt it back to smooth them out. IMHO digging with the tines down was a mistake. Those big rocks need to stay at the bottom. Using the digging tines will always do this. So no need for the land plane. Don't give up on the box blade. I have found it is the most versatile and useful attachment I have.

I never did like the floating blade on the back of a box blade or box scraper, one that I had I actually bolted it clear through to the front inside blade and then left the front front blade about 2 inches up and then you can use it for a float... you can float with the box plate also going in circles... blends in feathers it out pretty level and then making a few straight passes afterwards if you have enough width currently I have a 6 foot box blade that’s been amazing I’ve had it around 25 years and still using it on my 4310 John Deere, I also had a Gannon bucket that had would roll over to reverse directions and/or drop the rippers only in the downward position, etc. ... that was back in around 1975.

Lucky I picked up a set of 50 lb weights for $5 at an auction. Back to the land plane, one thing I don’t really like about the Land Pride is the way the teeth are adjusted. I should have taken a look at a Woods GSS54. Only two manufacturers I found with scarifiers.

I don't have a land plane or a box blade but would like to get one to supplement my income in the winter. I live in the high desert of Colorado and can usually work every month of the year if I watch the weather. Our ground seldom freezes. I'd appreciate any info you could provide.

Try Texas heat wave 100 degrees + 10 degrees heat index! I like that Land plane.

I was working in Houston at AB in the early 80's installing siding on their at the time new extension. It was so hot then we had a guy pass out just carrying material from a flat bed tractor trailer to an enclosed trailer. Also in 1980 I was working in Corsicana installing siding on the Kmart distribution center. We had a person quit and other's refuse to work because of the heat.

Christy how about some Welker Farms camera setups? That way you can grab some shots from the point of view of Tim, the land plane, loader, and anything else. Also, use your Bwise Trailer. Put the loader up on gooseneck and have more room. Then you have lower angle of takeoff. I almost have finance committee convinced to let me get one.

You only need the scarfiers to go to the depth of the bottom of the potholes (potholes always need to be cut down to the bottom of the pothole or they will just come back) you can loosen with the scarfiers and then loosen material with the blade tilt, if you go too deep like that you just pull up the 3 inch base and then it is hard to make a finished product. you can also lock down the scarfiers and adjust how deep they are going with the tilt of the box. You should be cutting with the blade first by tilting forward and then smoothing out by tilting backwards. I understand you were just doing the smoothing out with the land plane. great job on the videos you two, love watching your channel.

People like this drive me absolutely crazy. He just eyeballs it thinking he fixed the drainage issues, he just loosened everything without recompacting it, and that second attachment is pointless because the box blade does the same task he used the second attachment for.

Great video guys. I need this work done on my driveway LOL. That quick hitch is great. Need one of those too LOL Thanks, Christy, for standing in the hot sun to bring us this video. Your camera work is awesome. As a woman who helps her husband with "tractor stuff", I sure appreciate Christy's perspective in this video (and other vids as well). Have a great Fourth of July! You two deserve a break!:)

Try to back the tractor on the trailer it sometimes helps with attachments dragging.

But going on forward, allows the bucket to be above the attachment on the front of the trailer. Backing on would make the bucket stick way out the rear of the trailer.

I like the hydraulic scarifier option. It is somewhat of a pain to adjust them for different conditions. However, I found using my box blade with the “top and tilt” on the 3 point hitch does offer a lot of flexibility even using with the scarifiers. It also helps with final leveling. For final leveling, the land plane is hard to beat. Nice job on the video...could be sub titled “Christy gets a work out!” Blessings!

I misinterpreted the title of the video. I thought the box was going to be hydraulic. I don't know how many people remember tractors like the Farmall 300 row crop tractor I have. It has 2 way hydraulics on its 2 point. I'm not sure if it wasn't the original quick attach. It's not only good for things like a box blade but, when my dad had a flat he could lift the back of the tractor with the 2 point to change the tire.

The hydraulic top link sounds like a good idea on any tractor. Something I got from my dad when using the bush hog is to replace the top link with a chain. It's a lot more flexible on hilly ground.

That is a great idea. Something I’ll probably not have to use but good to keep in mind if I ever need it. Actually for loading and unloading on a trailer it might be the ticket if you have a dragging problem.

As far as the camera is concerned have a look at the dji osmo 3 gimbal fitted to your smartphone. These things would make your camera work a little easier

Tim: Have you thought of purchasing Christy a DJI Osmo or other camera gyro for image stabilization? Then she could walk around to capture your work when you move, and leave her tripod camera in place, while still capturing smooth video. I think you could also use your drone for this purpose (just turn on the video camera, not the blades). Just a thought!

We have had several gyros. It may not be obvious, but after 600+ episodes, we have a bit of experience with this.
