[@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 🙃🥴

[@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!

[@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!

[@JustOneMan100]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. 🤣

[@laziec30]

Always good to see someone involved with their local community. The videos you've posted about Harlan days and various community projects you've done always make me smile. Thanks for the videos!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@alexgraham9347]

That grader box is awesome! I really need to get one myself because I would get tremendous use out of it myself. Thanks for the great video!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@jerryfoust3592]

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

[@TitanTn]

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

[@AustinYoder-kj4pd]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@tadamb1]

Now it just needs electrically actuated scarifiers and maybe a tilt function for cutting a slope / swale. Pretty cool.

[@blakelee1231]

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

[@KenPina]

JUST last night I was telling my wife that it's time to learn how to take care of our gravel driveway. I am a new homesteader after transplanting from CA 5 years ago. I told her, "I know how from 'my fave KZbin guy'".

[@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. 👍

[@samwright3726]

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

[@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.

[@user-xc3pl7ky9o]

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!

[@Airn5475]

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

[@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

[@Matt-jm5hd]

Good on you brother. Complete lack of greed on your part. You easily could have accepted the second box and sold it off for profit. Instead you provide services to your community and neighbors and are providing others an opportunity to improve their own lives/property. You set an excellent example for your children and community. The world needs more people like you. Loved the swimming hole build series btw, very envious.

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@joshkrisher5862]

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

[@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 🤗

[@nathanschultz8114]

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

[@khooper7]

Thank you for showing the versatility with three different applications and the life of the battery, along with grading tips. Just what we need to maintain our 1,300-ft long drive with a zero turn.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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!

[@bklekampify]

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

[@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 👍

[@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!

[@eschnarr44]

I love watching you work on your own homestead and help other people. I am inspired by you weekly to get busy on my own homestead projects. Just bought a new house, so the to-do list just got a lot bigger.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!!

[@AlexInAuburn]

I have my father's Montgomery Ward 16 HP hydrostatic drive tractor and that box blade would be so useful behind it. Since I retired two years ago, I spend my time helping others with their project for free. It is very rewarding.

[@digdrivediy]

That's my life goal!

[@SeanBuchanan-ru6po]

I’ve got a big box blade on my 955…works ok…not nearly as slick as what you do with the pull-behind boxes. For the record, I’ve tried the circle thing to level out my driveway…it TOTALLY WORKS! I’ve got the plans and material list from your tutorial…hoping to build one this summer for me 332 to pull. Awesome videos!!!

[@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!

[@DuffHollywood]

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

[@brandonwilkens7933]

Been looking to get one to work on my daughter’s school athletic field! You’ve sold me on how great they are and it’s exactly what we need. Your videos are great! Keep up the good work!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@kevindebbiequeen7883]

Love that you are always helping your community with your blessings. I thought for sure when you said you weren't keeping it that you were giving it to the parks people to use for your community. Wasn't expecting a giveaway. What a great human you are!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Ramsfan99954]

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

[@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

[@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…

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@ericbailey3331]

Love your videos! We just moved to a 1.25ACR property that has ZERO landscaping. Your videos have helped tremendously with learning how to properly grade, flatten, and use the right tools for the job.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@oldsquare1]

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

[@johnroginsky]

May have to try one of these pull behind grader boxes. I’ve always used the traditional style on a 3 point hitch, but these look like a great option for driveway maintenance. Thanks for sharing your experience with it! 👍

[@trevorhuizenga5898]

Pretty cool to see how companies are actively working towards improving products by reducing the need for high-end, expensive pieces of equipment.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Alliswd]

Hi Neil. Starting watching your channel because of your videos with Tractor Time with Tim. Got hooked on your building of Bruno and watched all 8 episodes! The idea of working on a project every day until completion, even if just a little bit, really hit home with me! And you convinced me of the benefit of a pull type box blade. I would love to have one from North Woods Fabrication! I have a long, graveled driveway and so does my Dad. And there would be several neighbors that would benefit from it! Thanks for the education and entertainment!!

[@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!

[@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

[@eddiebaughman2809]

I am amazed at your going in circles. Works awsome. I know you have done and talked aboutit but this shows how good it works. Thanks Niel

[@edbmill]

I love it! I've picked up a few milwaukee battery adapters so that I can run various things without wires. This is a Broadlands use. Thank you for sharing this and the other pull type videos. I have learned that this is exactly what I need on my farm.

[@patrickmyers5803]

I just bought my grandfathers house and had to replace the sewer lines and my yard is now a mess. The whole yard is actually a mess from all the years of neglect. Having this grader box would make fixing up my yard so much easier. I love watching your videos every Sunday afternoon. I have learned so much from you over the years. Keep making these great videos.

[@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!

[@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. 🚜

[@kennolte5801]

The grader box works great for leveling a yard or driveway. I'm impressed. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your experiences with it.

[@brandoneades9345]

Absolutely love the channel been watching for years, I submitted and entry and love what you have done with the channel. Like no other, making me pondering on starting one as well!

[@kylegibson5293]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing all the knowledge! I started watching because I bought a house with a wood boiler and now I watch all of them as soon as they come out.

[@jaabryan]

Hi Neil, you have been educating on the value of pull type grader boxes for years. You may have finally convinced me to pull the trigger on one of these since I think it'll really help finishing the sloped and uneven areas of the driveway. Try as I might with the box blade, I always end up cutting too deep in spots where there are changes in contour. I really enjoy your content and delivery, thank you for the time and effort you put into DDD.

[@-Dave-is-not-here]

Love the channel Neil thanks for sharing all your projects and opening your life up to us. That is a great box and definitely see a market for them.

[@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.

[@john_clarke_2994]

This really is a game changer. Having that amount of selection in a grader box, having the ability to be pulled by anything and on a budget…thats awesome.

[@maintenancewithmike]

Neil awesome idea to give this away. Great video showing how well it works behind a regular lawn tractor or anything for that matter. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Mike.

[@danszapa]

The cordless option is a great addition to an already great tool.

[@JeffSons-yt7rc]

Great job! The grader box looks really well built and easy to use. Just what I've been looking for, to be able to use with different pulling equipment and not have to worry about electrical.

[@ajcannon8390]

I watch all your videos every sunday morning! You're an inspiration, giving me ideas of new projects to start! CANT WAIT FOR MORE VIDEOS!!!

[@AroundtheFarm1]

That grader would look good behind my 1974 Massey Ferguson 12 garden tractor. It’s great to see those old tractors still putting in the work!
