Love the Box Blade process, camera view is exceptional. I'm a fan!
Subscribed, Liked Commentary and Camera view! Shared and please make more!
Liked and Subscribed! Love box blade option.
I just want to say thank you, for all your videos because they’re so informative especially for someone like me that’s new to the industry. So thank you very much
Thanks for watching! Glad I can help!
This guy not only understands the equipment intimately, but is an excellent videographer. Well done! Love watching your videos.
Thanks for watching!
When going forward try keeping the toe off the ground about 1” and the heel down the the opposite when going in reverse. I use these in Prudhoe bay AK on loaders
I'd really like to see you use this on the new construction lots like you mentioned.
I plan on getting some video when that happens!
seems to work good how you were doing it, cut going forward, level back. sure makes quick work of it
Yea I like the attachment a lot.
What are the pros/cons of this box grader vs Harley rake?
Very informative and you have very nice shots! I would like to ask your permission if it's okay to use some of your clips from this video for a small start up business? I'd make sure to give you the credits on our description.
Need a tilting hatch on the track loader
So do you ever wish the blades were adjustable? Like up and down? How about angled?
Are you using down pressure ? Can you use the float switch ?
Do you like that better than the soil conditioner? Harley rake.????
Hey new to your channel and enjoy the videos but looking for advice on a ctl. I'm wanting to get into mulching and clearing land w one and wondering what brand machine you'd suggest? I'm stuck btw bobcat, cat and John Deere since all 3 have dealers close by. I'd like to mostly do mulch/clearing but want versatility to be able to handle any job to stay profitable. Thanks!
Southern Farmer85 Your best bet is the Cat. Bobcats have gone downhill since Ingersoll-Rand acquired them - hoping new owner Doosan can revive its reputation - and I’ve heard a lot of negative things about the Deere. Simply put, go with the best.
Up there in order to be in business do you need to have a land clearing and grading license ? Down here in Florida you have to work for a state certified contractor for 2 years and then take a test, the only thing is no contractors hire people for more than 6 months if at all most of them keep it with there good old boys. I have talked to hundreds of people and none has even been close to taking a test to get the licenses. Almost seem like a Florida only thing to keep new contractors out.
Do you ever use it in float mode?
I think the Harley rake works better to bust up the pot holes and fill them, where as the scraper just skims over top of the pot holes and fills them but the pot hole is still there beneath the surface.
when you use this or even the harley rake to fix and grade how are you crowning or pitching the road? cutting high spots and filling low spots doesn't fix the washboarding or potholing just delays until you have to grade it again. Looks like a great attachment, but i'm just wondering about finish grading with it. also how well does this thing work if you have any large gravel or small rocks? does it just drag it looks like the box would hold it in
samvt how do you create camber on a road with a skid steer with a standard bucket attachment? You use the same methods with this attachment.
@@gazsaz97 when your cutting leave center uncut (a tracks/tire) width. That way itll be slightly higher. Running the track down the center when filling in will give you a crown.
@@mrgoodtimes05 Recently got our first skid and need to grade our dirt drive and wondered how to crown it. Thank you very much.
Have you tryed to move one blade forward and the other blade backwards so the cutted material moves inside the box like first blade moves it to the right side and the other to the left side? looks good the Dura Grader.
I have not. That is an interesting idea. I might have to try it!
If I had a skid loader, this would work wonders for the crappy road out in front of my house. Problem is, all I've got is a dead Ford 8N and a Ford 9N with a bad cooling system and seized front loader.
So fix the damn things?
Are the blades pretty much a cutting edge like on a plow? Could you show us a pic of the under side?
Did you watch my last video? I did a walk around of it.
This is not the proper way to grade with a machine.
Back blading on float does nothing for the finish other than make it pleasing to the eye.
When grading you should always use the cutting edge under hydraulic pressure as this ensures that you are still compacting the surface as you cut and fill.
If you do finish off with back blading I would recommend that you either track or roll it in as this will extend the lifespan of the finished job and ultimately save you money in the long run.
I have been operating heavy plant since 1990 in both Military and Civil Engineering.
no need to compact or anything afterwards?
Normally for a customer yes I would. This was just at our shop
wonder how well it would work being pulled behind a tractor like a john deere or something
Usually a farm drag is longer, 20' plus. They work good but modern equipment is more efficient and easier to move around than a steel drag. I still use one on a little field
Gee Dubb
I meant the one that he's using in the video, put it on the back of an old ford 8n or john deere 4320
+Justin Bechtel they make three point version- look at a grader scraper. Works great on a gravel driveway
works well but slightly too wet you reckon, you can finish a big area quickly! are you rolling this when it's done?
Yea it was very wet. Normally yes we would roll it.
Man you've got a long road!
Rewatched!
That grader doesn't seem to be able to tilt, so there is no way to "crown the road" for better drainage. I've seen those tilt skidsteer plate adapters to make any attachment tilt. Ever used one?
The blades can angle. This one you have to do them manually by moving 2 bolts. They have one that does it hydraulically though.
Tell the price for god sake
There's a link above. Do a little research!
Is that a new skid steer or your you renting it
We have had this machine for 2 years.
