Rookie operator leveling his wood lot with a 3 point blade. Will he make a mess of it?

This is my first time using a rear blade on my tractor. I have some uneven ground at the wood lot and I plan to add some gravel, so it was time to level things off. Join me and see how things go...

Another enjoyable video, thank you. I know the feeling of being a rookie. You are brave to make a video of your learning curve. You are fully engaged in life. We should all be like you.

Rear blades are always very handy to have for dirt work. I just get so tired of turning my head to look at the blade lol. You got a good deal on that! Nice video!

I know what you are getting at, I almost set up my camera so I didn't need to turn around anymore. Since it was my first time using the blade, I figured I better keep my eyes on it directly.

Man Tim...............300.00 for that rear blade was a SCORE!!! 🙂 It looks to be in nearly perfect condition as well! I find that tractor implements are aggravating as heck. There are usually SEVERAL implements that will accomplish the same job, but there's always ONE that will do whatever your given task is the best. In grading your wood lot, I think that a box blade, or a land plane with scarifiers would have "dug up" the yard much easier than the rear blade did, but the rear blade would probably be the best tool to smooth the dirt out when finished with the digging it up. That's the aggravating part to me, is that I never seem to have enough implements for my tractors, and if I went out and got the "perfect implement" for each task that I want to do, I'd have 30K invested in implements! Very frustrating! But like you, I just use the implements that I have, and try to get the jobs done as best as I can until I can acquire the next implement! Your final product looks pretty nice, you did a good job!

I was pretty happy with it. I'll use it again when I spread the gravel to finish it off. You're right, though. It was a great price, and it's quick hitch compatible. Something I try to have on each of my implements.

Nice work. I love doing dirt work. Enjoy the blade

I know you do. It's what you do the most. Do I have the right concept? I felt it went pretty well.

@puddlejumper3534 good to know. Thanks!

Great price on that blade. Do you still have that tiller or did it go away with the CS2520?

@timbervisions Ай бұрын

It was part of the trade when I traded. It was too small for the DK, plus I've gotten away from tilling. It's very seasonal and time-consuming during the spring season.

"Front wheel assist?" You mean 4 wheel drive😂😂

@timbervisions Ай бұрын

Sure, whatever you prefer to call it. It's technically front wheel assist. Four wheel drive tractors articulate in the middle. Two wheel drive with front wheel assist, the front wheels turn.

Which part does not make sense to you? I'll try to explain it better.

Any tractor that has smaller wheels on the front compared to the back and the front wheels are steering wheels BUT the front wheels can also be engaged to help move the tractor in conditions where traction is limited is a front wheel assist drive system. It is often referred to as a 4WD, but technically it isn't. 4WD tractors all have the same sized tires and turn by articulating in the center (similar to a wheel loader) and all the wheels drive all the time. That is a true 4WD tractor. If you don't believe me feel free to do your own research. Have a great day!

@@timbervisions Front weels are either engaged to the drive shaft, or disengaged. And unless some type of torque bias system is applied, which would control the amount of torque that being applied to the front wheels vs the real wheels, and is only utilized on sports cars. Usually called Traction Control. So what is the "Assist" part, when the front wheels are either engaged or disengaged with the drive shaft? Sounds like your just creating your own definitions.
