Kubota L3200 box blade and grading techniques!

[@karlkaelin4905]

Finally someone who does something! Most of these videos are people who stand in front of a camera and TALK for 90 percent of the video. Thanks for telling what your doing WHILE your doing it!

[@shulmanfamily4896]

excellent, especially your narrative on wife and gravel purchase@@@ I find driveway clean up the most fun of all my work up in Vemront. Your text on using the box blade was 100%, most of us take years to learn it, common sense but people should be directed t read it to learn quickly what many of us learn over years.

[@timothylholmes1213]

Awesome Video .... This is the first You Tube video I have seen were I didn't feel bored thru unnecessary redundancies the fast forwards were Great excellent video composition ....Thank You

[@GorgyPorgy65]

You did a fabulous job. Place looks so much more "finished" and it sets off your gardens and home.

[@haroldsobel8599]

A hard day's work on a tractor is better than any day in a bar.

[@semco72057]

That Kubota tractor and the box blade is working just fine and did a great job of leveling up your property and the gravel you purchased really helps in improving the road to your house and I hope your wife is pleased with the work you have done to improve your home and the road up to it.

[@Ianlawrence1980]

I appreciated your video. I a local from north kitsap area, so the plug for your gravel company is helpful. Thank you for posting this. I found it informative.

[@DanielWoodell]

Glad it was helpful!

[@leokelly359]

just remember "happy wife, happy life" good job I built an extension from our driveway 250 ft to our pole barn made my wife happy 40yards of double regrind concrete

[@jdgibs3446]

Enjoyed your video especially the time lapse. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. Blessings to you and your family. ☝️🙏🙌🇺🇸🎯

[@raybates3119]

Awesome job grading and smoothing!

[@rexmundi8154]

I weld a ball hitch to almost every attachment that can support one. I have one that I cross drilled for a pin that drops in a hole In the center leading edge of my bucket. That one is super handy.

[@obeezee]

Just found your channel. Good stuff. I have a 3301 with the same toys you do and we live in Poulsbo. Cool to see another local guy on here. Take care.

[@martyb3783]

Great job. I plan on putting in a similar driveway myself. Seeing this video makes me less afraid that I will screw it up. :)

[@sunjaybedi4389]

Great video showing good skills with the box blade. Gives me hope I can smooth out our 1100’ driven on a semi yearly basis. Cheers,

You did a great job making it look nice. Wish I could still get 3 - 23 ton loads for $1500. Close to double that today in my area. Great video.

Gig Harbor here, nice tractor work and leveling. Looks like you used the Gorst Quarry crushed minus rock, that stuff packs so good and will last longer than the other crushed minus rocks.Steve

Wow that turned out really nice, looks like a real nice place to live, Good job.

[@goodguy9979]

I don't know about your soil there but where I live I had to put down 3" - 4" rock to build a base that is stable enough to resist washout in heavy rain. Probably different everywhere.

[@SPARKYMAN1979]

Crazy. Just watching a random video. See Morrison and I’m like hey, I know where they are. I live up off Mullenix and Phillips Rd.

[@kymadman3404]

Curious as to your hydraulic top link system on your L3200. I have the same machine and am interested in installing such a system. Having to climb down and manually adjust (especially when using a box blade) is a PITA. Nice video!

[@DanielWoodell]

So I don’t have a hydraulic top link. I have made a quick adjust top link. It’s a mechanical version. See below link. . Quick Adjust Tractor Top Link kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmeWZGaqgqmSeJI

[@teekay1785]

Agree with many of the other comments . Better to compact the soil as much as possible before gravel. Generally you will need a 4 inch gravel base . You will be adding that much again soon then it will be ok with resmoothing with box blade regularly. I find it best to put a couple of inches of larger stone or slag up to 2 inch or more if soil loose. then top with about 2 inches of the size range you used. Maybe if you have high clay soil you will get by with about 2 inches for a while.

[@michaelmolter6180]

The problem with my BX25 isn't getting implements on and off the three point, its getting the dang backhoe off and the whole three point hitch back on!

Hi Daniel! I enjoyed the video and just subscribed. I have a Kubota L3901 and have really enjoyed using it. Wish I had bought it years earlier!

[@georgea6403]

How long was it until the gravel disappeared without fabric?

[@James-cn9no]

how are you controlling weeds in the driveway?

[@FLOUNDERMILKSHAKE]

The before pictures of that driveway look better than mine ever did. Seems like this whole project is just an excuse to drive your tractor... and I think any excuse to drive a tractor is a good one :)

Good video, liked the time lapse. I would however, like to have seen a bit more on the techniques and thought process before hand. Otherwise it was informative & easy to watch. I Would also like to know, how many hours you had in the project?

What do you do for a living?...all the niceties and luxuries...i need to be in that business lol

[@edwardrohlfes1214]

When you are working with the tractor is there a specific RPM that you run at to add life to the tractor?

[@DanielWoodell]

So on my RPM gauge I have a yellow line it annotate the ideal PTO setting. I realize that the PTO setting is not something I’m using while I’m using my box blade however that is the RPM that I run my tractor out when I’m moving dirt like I am in this video

[@edwardrohlfes1214]

@@DanielWoodell ok thanks just trying to everything right in the beginning so i dont pay the price later

[@hburns16]

Nice video! Glad I stumbled on your stuff man! I live not too far away in the Seabeck area. Keep up the good work. Maybe some more in video description of what you’re doing & why.

[@hsmith3844]

You can also put a hydraulic toplink on too.......I'm thinking about it, but we've had so much rain for two years.

[@michelbrant8279]

If you don't mind me asking what is the dimensions on your garage?

[@michaelmolter6180]

I think you could do with a little less fast forwarding. Especially on the tractor where I'm trying to figure out what your actually doing.

[@phelanowens]

Nice.

[@evanwindom3265]

Silly me -- I watched this expecting to see demonstrations of techniques... The video talks a lot about WHAT was done, but none at all about HOW to do it. You may want to modify the title of the video to more accurately reflect the content. You clearly know what you're doing with the equipment, so it's disappointing that I wasn't able to learn how you did it.

[@marlowt2]

Completely agree, waste of time.

[@TheStephenmonroe]

The little techniques shown was filmed at high speed instead of when he was talking

[@JakeHolder]

Lol instead of whining you should just carry on

[@shulmanfamily4896]

read his text, it is spot on and will make it all make sense quickly. Learn what took me years in just a few minutes of reading.

[@shulmanfamily4896]

The problem with people that take on use of equipment and find they can get 75% done with just going out their and trying, is that they can then waste years doing it wrong, me included. When you work with somebody who knows, you race through the learning curve. This video was spot on if you also read the text (assuming one can read), wish I would have seen it years ago, but finally learned it all through time and money.

[@electrofelon]

Those trucks are registered at 105,000 pounds. So either they are limited by bridges in the delivery area, have an extremely high tare weight, or he is wrong on the yardage. Here in Ny, the max is 80000 and you can get a quarry truck to 23-25 ton legally.

[@RUBBERGLOVE293]

Wrong you need A permit 105k that's a tag axle 56k twin 66-68k tri axle. no way that truck can haul 105k permit or not.

I am in western Washington and gravel is very expensive. Pierce County here requires the use of a special drainage type gravel.

[@steven_farmer89]

Try McClain’s Soil Supply, I have used them and I like them.

Interested in that mobile fueling station. Where did you get it.

[@DanielWoodell]

[@michaelmolter6180]

You might have benefited from some driveway fabric to prevent the gravel from washing done into the soil after a few years. Relative to that beautiful expensive rock you bought, fabric is pretty cheap (I bought the commercial grade stuff on eBay).

[@danveneski726]

what brand and model box blade you using?

GSA (crushed asphalt) is alot cheaper and packs well. That's what I'm putting down. $10/ton delivered.

[@ArturoGarzaID]

Hey how big is that box scraper(length, weight)?

[@DanielWoodell]

It’s a 5’ wide model

[@CacheWeston]

In my opinion that gravel is going to be dissapearing into the dirt after a couple years of rains. Compaction is really important and with all the equipment you have, suprised you dont have a heavy roller...maybe you do.

[@dynocompe]

then you order another load, some of course will disappear over time. Once you get enough gravel down you can use the box blade on the driveway and pull up alot of the gravel you lost.

[@hurley001]

9:51 he is greasing the tractor again

[@backinthewoods2022]

Nice video good job thanks for the advice👍

[@twhigday]

I have a similar tractor, only it’s green. Have you ever considered tooth bar for your front end loader? The reason I ask is I’m considering getting one. Mostly to help with some minor digging and getting out some shallow roots as well. Let me know your thoughts. I enjoy your content. Thank you.

[@DanielWoodell]

Travis Higday I’ve looked into it quite a few times and I’ve almost bought it on Amazon. However I find that I used the front loader to back blade to smooth everything out and having that tooth bar on their leaves lines in the finish. My uncle has a tooth borrowed his Kabota and it leaves lines when he’s doing final grade. That’s why I haven’t got one.

[@twhigday]

My same thoughts too. Thank you for the reply!!!

[@aaronbuehler1270]

does your front end loader bucket have teeth on it or just a flat ? looks really flat when you grade w it.

[@DanielWoodell]

Aaron Buehler just a flat cutting edge I find that the rippers in the box blade break up the dirt enough to move it. And I like the smooth finish that the loader bucket leaves

[@aaronbuehler1270]

Daniel Woodell awesome! so did you adjust angle for run off? does quick attach let you adjust side to side angle

[@dtcoleman05]

Looks great!

[@GardenDocSC]

I don't usually post comments, but great job! I have a similar situation, similar property. Constantly have problems with puddling, constantly running one my 3000ft driveway with my box grader or land grader. You run your tractor like a pro. Do you do tractor work professionally?(Just curious....I live on the other coast)

[@DanielWoodell]

Nope I don’t do it professionally, I end up helping out friends and family with tractor work, I have also assisted with building several houses and doing most of the dirt work for that.

[@sixmagpies]

Advice: Never mix natural gravel (ie round shaped pebbles.) into crushed stone as it 'lubricates' and destroys the surface and sucks mud to the surface immediately.

[@abelgerli]

Actually looking at the amount air travel for 1500 bucks it seams like a steal to me in Europe.

[@riflebear1711]

Rad video. Beautiful house. And you are in Port Orchard? I'm in Wa too. Cool timelapse stuff. Great video.

[@KrustyQuad]

Not sure why he is pushing with the front bucket like that. It's not a bulldozer, you could easily just push with the box blade in reverse and itll do a better job without risking bending anything. I'm not saying it will bend anything on the loader but might as well just use the box.

[@KrustyQuad]

I take that back actually, that dirt looks alot softer than the ground out here in PA.
