Box Blade

   / Box Blade #11  
Every video where I've seen them using a lpgs their moving dirt or loose material so I'm wondering how they work on gravel that has been packed down in some areas?

Just like every ground engaging implement, weight is you friend. With my 12,000lb tractor and my 1400lb LPGS, I have sheared off 4" stumps and basically did not even know that I had done so.

I can not make an accurate assessment regarding packed gravel, never done it. What I do know is that my roads that you see me grading with nice (perfect) damp DG can be smoothed when they are rock hard in the summer. I just don't get the accumulation of material that I show most of the time.

One of my neighbors has asphalt millings in front of his place and I have graded those a few times, comes out fine other than an occasional chunk that gets pulled up.

"Just have to keep in mind that there is no single implement that does everything the best."

Pretty much my experience as well, my tractor is pretty much the same size as the MX and I prefer a 7' box scraper. My HR3584 with TnT does a pretty good job, but if I could afford it, I would also own an LPGS. I've had good results with a 10' pull type scraper I've owned for years, but it has its limitations.

This is the absolute truth, and yet so many refuse to accept it. ;)
