Don't know what i need

[dayrunner]

I hope the fine folks on here can help a newbie. My situation is that I'm unsure of the best approach to my problem which is my driveway. It's about 200 ft long give or take with a ditch on both sides on the right side it goes straight to a creek on the left it goes to the same creek via a 10 inch pipe under the drive well the ditches are no more than tire tracks on both side my goal is to fill the one on the right and cut a new one at the edge of property line and possibly widen drive at some point my question is what is the best implement to use for this all I have is a L 3200 with a fel and a bb do I buy another implement or rent a mini ex or backhoe? Mind you that the left ditch fills with silt and sediment from the negative grade of our land house is lower than the road I failed to mention that currently the left ditch continues to the front of house and into another 10 in pipe on the other side of house

A box blade works really well for cutting a ditch. You can put a little cut on it to clean the silt out of a ditch. The bb will also work good for putting a crown on the driveway. I would think you should be able to accomplish your project with your fel and bb.

OK so how would I go about doing it with a bb can I angle of to cut on one side? Forgive me for asking but like I said I'm very new to tractor ownership and don't know the full functionality of my implements and tractor. I bought it new and basically the dealer said here's your tractor go have fun thank you very much see you later. So I've read the owners book cover to cover several times but it don't say any thing about how to use the implements. I don't really want to tear it up from ignorance but I do realize sometimes you have to just try and see what happens. As far as the ditch goes I don't see how the bb will help unless I want a 5ft wide ditch which I don't. I want a 1-2 ft wide ditch.

First thing I would do is check local/state regs re: direct ditch termination - ending your ditch in a brook. Here in Maine it is unlawful to end a ditch into a brook but you may be grandfathered along as you don't alter what currently exists.
