I need to start working on my 1500' driveway. Currently it is just grass that I have been driving on. (Right side of photo)
I have been reading many posts on box blades, rear blades, rotary tillers, discs, etc. and what I think I need to do (buy) is the following:
<pre> ~ Rotary Tiller
~ Rear Blade </pre>
I would use the rotary tiller to break up the grass/soil, and then use the rear blade to do the grading with. After I have it prepared, I can then bring in loads of rock and also use the blade to spread/smooth out the stone.
I will have other projects to do similar work (i.e. Get my building sites prepared for future barns/sheds)
Am I on the right track with the implements I need to buy? If, not, please offer me alternate suggestions. Yes, I know one obvious one is to hire someone else to do it -- but what fun is that?
