I've been reviewing the threads as I'm going to be preparing an acre or two for lawn as well as possibly maintaing a VERY long dravel driveway.
I have a rotary tiller for my 2320 and can break up sod and soil well, but as it's somewaht clay-ish it does stay clumpy. I would like to be able to level out all the bumps and break up the clumps for seeding lawn as well as create some smoother pasture grass areas for the kids to play. There are too many ankle-twisters in the meadow now. I wonder how BB really does break up and smoothchunky soil.
I also have a very long gravel drive that I could(??) maintain if an implement will work there as well.
I've never used a box blade, but it sound like that might be the one to consider if one could do the job?
Alternately:
-perhaps I'm better off renting (if possible) a couple of specific implements to be more effective rather than buy one implement?
-perhaps I just let the landscapers do it for me and pay them for a day, but lose the utility of doing maintenance myself?
And finally . . with the 2000' driveway . .do I just pay a grader truck once/twice a year . . or do you think a box blade will really do a suitable job grooming and levelling well packed gravel?
Thanks.
