A man who has mastered the box blade is like the man that can catch a fly with chop sticks...He can do anything...!
Box blades are dynamic GRADING tools...it's what they do...their only imperfection is the lack of ability to angle...
many operators do not get the desired results after the first few attempts and give up...there is a learning curve...conquer it and be proud...
About the only time you see even a full sized tractor on a commercial road building job is doing the final clean up and maybe grass seeding after the actual job is done...
box blades and rear blades are implements made for tractors that emulate what the big boys use...
In my part of the country, a tractor is a routine piece of equipment on new road construction once trees and rocks have been removed. May not been everywhere. They show up about the same time as earth movers use pull scraper boxes. They are one of the last to leave as they can do so many different jobs simply by changing implements.
