- I built this ATV pull behind box blade to help smooth out the roads around my house. Hopefully some of you will see something from my design and build your own.

A good source for screw jacks are those 10' satellite dishes people want out of their yards... They operate on 12 Vdc - 36 Vdc - just slower or faster depending on voltage. They also have built in limit switches.
Mark Nichols That's a good bit of information.
Thankyou for the idea.
That’s the best one I’ve seen on these UA-cam channels so far, impressive.
Cool and informative video.. Excellent design.. straight to the point and very effective 👍
A really professional build and well finished, I am surprised how well it hold down, I think that is due to the angle of the cutting blade, excellent!
I would love to have one of those.
Excellent! Very good build!
Nice build
I was a bit skeptical but that thing works real good. Goodbye washboard.
Could modify the tongue so you can offset the box... add individual lift to each wheel, dig deeper on either side.
You are absolutely correct... Could make this into a trencher or ditcher, quite easily. The offset tongue idea is unique as well. Thank you for the comment!
That's pretty cool
Good job farm boy
4 year old video. How's it holding up? Nice build. Screw jack works like draft control on a 3 point. Works well from what I can see.
Works awesome!
Nice, Still using it? I would just drill some more holes down the upright to make it adjustable. Nice work.
Yep, more holes would definitely work. I still use this quite a bit for leveling out gravel and dirt in places when it's needed. It's been a great addition to my ATV tools.
Wait, what do you mean if you could do it over again you would make the screw jack 2" higher? Just drill another hole 2" lower than where it is now and put the bolt back in.
If you want it to raise up a little more just add some holes below your top ones. Wouldn't that work?
Yep, that would work 100%.
Would you be willing to provide your plan with the measurements? I would like to build one.
Need this as well
I built one without plans, the only dimension I was worried with was the length of the drag bar. I settled on four feet so I could see it while sitting with my seat box behind me.
I’ll buy that from ya
Could you please tell me where you purchased the lift arm alone with these itch and is the switch connected to the ATV battery
amzn.to/2H0HVQK You'll need a linear actuator like what is in this link. Depending on the length of the actuator, your design can be modified to fit different size cylinders. I would recommend at least an 8" actuator. I think the one on my design is at least 8" stroke. Hope that helps!
Also, it IS connected to the ATV battery and wired with a Double Pole, Double Throw switch to reverse the polarity and raise and lower the actuator.
Where are you located and what would you sell that one for?
This one really isn't for sale... I like it too much... LOL
tallfarmboy I'm sorry to be a pain. Could you please text me pictures of the cord and what it looks like connected to the ATV battery as well as the wire with the switch. Is the wire already connected to the lift arm.Does it come that way? Email: pnutdaisy@yahoo.com. Thanks you
Nice video..no face in the camera...no tractor halfway up a field..just good solid practical video of the the scraper. You win my award for the best DIY presentation. Great detail so easy to copy the build. I wish all the scraper box videos were as good as this...thanks tallfarmboy
AMEN!
They key to a atv box blade is having enough weight and a hard cutting edge. The one I have seen you can buy are junk compared this this one. Nice work.
I appreciate it! I do think it would cut the hump out of a gravel road... It would take several passes, but I think it's heavy enough to do it.
Very nicely done. Implement and video both. No insipid music. No constantly yammering narration. Just the facts about the machine. No wasted footage of scenery or setup. The blade is nicely done too. Everyone looking probably would do some of the details differently, but you went and built it, and it clearly works as intended. You've got me thinking about finally learning how to weld. What a useful skill for a whole bunch of stuff I need to do. THANK YOU!
very nice job . i am going to make one some what like yours , but mine will just carry the dirt and level ot . but i will fill with mini hoe . i got a lot of rock to cover . ATV trails on my farm .. to the EGG heads that gave you a thumbs down ,.. not to smart
Ok, now can you make me one.....lol. I don't have the ability to cut metal or weld.
Could you provide measurements or plans. Would like to build this also.
Best one i have seen yet just need some ripping teeth for hard pack awesome work
Well done - your design is well thought out and it works really good. The thickness of the metal was also a wise choice, good and heavy so it digs in…even the packed road. My only concern would be the strain on my ATV - I suppose in 4x4 low it should be okay but that’s quite a bit of pulling. Anyway, thanks for sharing and cheers
this is very good fabrication . this is better then the ones you can buy . is there any way i could get measurements i want to build one just like this one . i know you listed some measurements but how tall are the box walls ,how long are the side walls ,how long is the tongue . i would greatly appreciate it . once great job on this . best i've ever seen !
I think you’re exceeding your “cutting speed”? But drive as fast as you want, I don’t care!
I love to see people’s homemade inventions. Great video. I’m making a few things myself for my tractor and skid steer.
Good luck with the build! I appreciate the comment!
Nice . Maybe put the wheels more to the outside of the box though .
I know this is an older video, but props to you! Excellent design and I'm so copying it! Lol.
Very nice build.
You can get much better and faster jack screw travel if you move the bottom end of the actuator forward about 4-8 inches. As far as possible without causing interference. It will increase the load the screw has to lift but it looks heavy duty enough to handle it. Also, you can add another set of holes at the top jack screw mount to get additional height.
I'm stealing this design and building to pull behind my 14 grand Cherokee lol
Like the build. Have you thought about being able to put a pitch on what you are grading? Pothole start from water that won’t drain. Ie: all gravel roads have a crown for drainage. I wonder if a 10” roller (200#) the same width of the blade would help pack what you graded instead of just the two wheels? I understand the current setup would travel/transport better.
Thanks for sharing this video with us. I love it great work.
Thank you!
Great video. Easy to model one from. I will be building one but 60 inches wide. 👍👍💪🇺🇸
add some weight to your box, about 75-100lbs should do
So you're using your phone for audio and the GoPro session for the video? Playing detective off the shadow in the video 😂
Haha, phone was only for the video preview. Used the session for audio and video... Good eye, though!
Bobby E Johnson LoL.
Nice job!
I think you’ll come to appreciate that the electric actuator works a little slow….I think it’s ideal!
It needs to set on the ground when it's down
Nice job 👍
How long is that linear actuator? Also what amount of weight lift should it be? Thanks
If I remember correctly, this actuator had about 10" of travel in it.
The wheels need to mounted wider.
Good build.
Build one for me
I always thought, instead of wheels in the back, how about a roller filled with either water or cement would help pack and smooth the final finish???
Nevertrustalawyer I also thought the same. I could make one out of heavy pipe. The one I made just has tires, thus far
Thunder Valley or corrugated steel drain pipe filled with water, sand or cement. If you do, I’d love to see a video???
Nevertrustalawyer I was thinking 8” 1/4” wall pipe with a plug to fill and empty it. I’d have to keep dry weight under 300 lbs though. I could even go 10” I think. I have different sizes laying around. I’ll weigh some and see, but I got a few other things in the fire first
Thunder Valley that should work. Think about using a piece of say 1” angle to scrape mud or dirt clods from sticking to your roller? I’d still love to see a video sometime. Blade stabilization is the key to making these things work.
Nevertrustalawyer I’ll give er a shot
Lol DR one there out of business can’t get parts any more and two there junk the one you have is much better .
The DR model looks like trash.
Good job, clean build. Could squeeze out a bit more lift height by drilling holes for the cylinders ‘s upper lift pin a bit lower down. Not sure if you’d still be able to lower as much though. Did you consider a “landscape rake” style grader? I’d like to have one of those myself but a box blade works too.
I wanted the ability to move material and fill in holes... the landscape rake would be nice for removing roots/rocks/etc... but, that's not what I'm after now... This creation is basically for sale, also.
Oh, I miss-typed - not a rake. I meant a landscape "plane" or a land plane. I'd really like to have one of those. Like this: www.ruralking.com/king-kutter-6-professional-dual-edge-land-grader-deg-72.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA_c7UBRAjEiwApCZi8Y_PFajYaDAwex7nDKNAh5hAE0dltq_FlIBLuFNSxIpEFReMMWQg-BoCj5UQAvD_BwE
We’ll done.
Cool
Well done , works slick
Pretty nice set up and well built.
Nice build Sir, well done.
Very nice
You should totally make and sell these or sell the plans
Honestly, what do you think one of these is worth? The DR Power Leveler is about $1200, and I think it's a piece of crap... LOL!
Thankyou for sharing.
This is so cool.
Great job, do you have the measurements, I would like to copy your build.
Are you selling these?
what are the dimensions of the "box" height and length front to back 48"x??x?? and how tall is the upright for the actuator mount? or did you have to measure that once you got an actuator mounted to the wheels?
I wish I would check my comments more often. If I remember correctly, the "box" was 20" high and 20" deep. And, I just built the rear axle and actuator mount to match the specs of the actuator that I had. I hope that helps.
tallfarmboy it does help a lot I’m gonna try and make mine 24 long x12 high on the sides and 48” wide cuz that’s what my scrap pieces are think that’s high enough?
Man this awesome. How did you do the cutting edge? Is it like a wedge and is it angled straight down or is it pointed towards the front? Great job!
It's slightly angled like a wedge, so to speak.
I would patent that thing and start a company building those it would be perfect for lawn tractors as well.
Dude, they already make these. Matter of fact he copied already produced versions
I didn't copy anything, actually. Just had an idea and went with it.
Love it and I need one! Do you have any design plans or did you just wing it?
I just winged it... LOL! I should definitely layout the plans.
tallfarmboy Awesome box blade! I think I’ve got most of the pertinent dimensions from the video except for the height of the 1/4” plate of the box. Could you give me a ballpark on it? I definitely want to try to replicate this!
How tall is your blade?
доброго времени суток ! Где можно взять такой электро гидроцилиндр?
Хороший источник для этих электрических цилиндров - Amazon.com. Если вы можете заказать один из них на Amazon, они не слишком дороги.
@@tallfarmboy Спасибо за ответ !
Selling these? I would be interested.
Steve O As of now, I don't have plans for mass producing these. If I do, I will let you know. Thank you for the interest!
I'm interested in purchase as well.
I too would like to purchase one
needs weights
good shit, I need to get one for our road, neighbors all have tractors, yet none will help maintain the road, but yet sure do help tare it up with there trcks and horses trailers, flying down the road to there nice manicured arenas
nice toy
