Tackling 29 Tons of Driveway Stone for my Neighbor With A Sub-Compact Kubota B7100 Homestead Tractor

29 Tons of Driveway Stone Gravel to Spread With Sub-Compact Kubota B7100 4x4 Homestead Mini Tractor
This captivating video unveils the remarkable story of how I responded to my neighbor's plea for help, uncertain if my sub-compact Kubota B7100 tractor could handle the immense task. Against all odds, witness the incredible journey of my small tractor as it overcomes hurdles and delivers a commendable performance in spreading 29 tons of driveway stone - proving that size doesn't always matter when you have determination and a reliable machine!
Join me as I take on a daunting task of spreading driveway stone using my smaller-sized Kubota B7100 tractor. Despite initial doubts and the struggle to move such a heavy load, witness how I turned this challenge into a triumph, showcasing the power and determination of my trusty tractor.
The back blade doesn't really have enough weight to dig in and move a large amount of stone, and when it does, my wheels just spin in the gravel. Slow and steady wins the race though. We'll get it done.
Hope you enjoy the video! Any questions, comments, or concerns are greatly appreciated. I'll do my best to keep up with you, and to earn your likes and subscribes.

That tractor seems to be doing just fine Buddie. I remember moving a similar pile of gravel back in the 70’s with a wheel barrel and a heavy rake, over about 600 feet plus of driveway.

Man thats a lot of stone

I know the job is long done but you should also have product in the front bucket. Taking a little of the top each blow and dropping it in the low spots or up towards the road way. Of course it is easy for me to sit back and give directions as opposed to doing it myself.

Constructive input is always welcome! No worries, I'm always looking for things I could do better next time. Thank you for your interest.

Not sure if you’ll respond. Was just curious what attachment that is and where you purchased it. Looking for the same blade for my kubota! Thanks

The blade came as part of the package when I bought the tractor used. Unfortunately, it has no make listed on it. Otherwise, it's a cat 1 sized 60" blade. Keep in mind, this is bigger than what the tractor is designed for. The machine is capable of push/pulling plenty of material with it, but there is an issue in that the hitch doesn't lift high enough to provide adequate clearance for the blade on less than flat terrain. There are several spots on my property where if I have the blade all the way up it still digs into the ground. If you have a B7100 tractor, cat 1 60" blade will fit, but consider a sub-compact rated 48" blade instead.

How much was that?

[@abundantlifehomestead3100]

He told me but I don't recall exactly. Somewhere in the $700 range.
