Drive looks great. I may check into the getting a box blade like that.

That shiny new orange is just awsome. It looks like you did a nice job on your driveway.

Great tractor and great photos of your work. I suspect that soon you'll be volunteering your services to your neighbors just so you can "play" with that machine.

On my BX1870 I've found that I use the finish mower on a whole lot more area than what I originally bought it for and whether the neighbors ask for it or not.

congrats on the new Bota
The drive came out great! where did the clumps of grass go, i always seem to have a pile of chaff left over from any lanscape project.

The grading scraper ground up the clumps of grass, mixing it with the dirt and gravel, and then re-depositing the mix back down. The grass basically disappears.

The grading scraper is definitely the cat's meow for dressing gravel driveways!

Indeed, Ben, I'm already trying to volunteer my services to the neighbors! And although I had no intention of cutting grass when I bought the tractor, I'm already reconsidering that. Presently looking at a flail mower as an option (rather than the bush hog I had planned on).

Never had so much fun - cough, cough, - I mean, I never worked so hard in my life...

These flail mowers from Value-Leader seem rather affordable and come in a wide varity of sizes. Look like they are built fairly sturdy as well.

Thanks, Eric. I've been looking at the Caroni's from Agr Supply, but the Value-Leader line looks interesting...

We do have a Agri-supply store here in Virginia. Its located in Petersburg and is about two hours from you.

My advise if you choose to get a mower from Agri, carry just enough money with you for food, gas, and mower. Leave credit cards and check book at home. You'll go bankrupt quick in that store. You'll want it all!!!
