\Sholuld I be looking at standard rear blade or a box blade or both? I guess I want to know how much grading i can achieve with a standard blade. I assume a top-n-tilt will make work with both more enjoyable and efficient. I would have to install two rear remotes for the top-n-tilt (or would I?).
Box Blade will allow you to have a Box full of Gravel , and control placement of material, For Driveway maintainence.
Standard Blade with TNT will allow to pull gravel, but on a wide Drive, there will be "Leakage" on both sides of the Blade when pulling a Blade full of Gravel.
Standard Blade with Angle adjustment would allow "Plowing" of snow in Forward / Reverse motion, Downside is, Standard Blade would leave a Line of Gravel at edge of Driveway once Snow melts.
BB would only alow "Pulling or Pushing" of Snow in F / R motion, but you would have a Pile of Gravel at the Location that you deposited the Snow ( Much easier to collect gravel in the spring) .
Yes you would need two remotes for TNT, if the FEL was still on Tractor, while using the TNT at the Rear.
If you are removing the FEL, then you could run HYD lines with Quick connects from FEL remotes to rear TNT, and use Joystick to operate TNT.
I already have Standard Blade, and made it work when leveling Drive/Parking areas. A BB would have made easier work.
I guess a BB with Scarifers would be the Better choice if purchasing just one ( on a Budget ) , I could a find for Both if I had a Budget that would allow both to purchased.
