Driveway and Rear Blade (pictures)

[JDGreenGrass]

We've had rain on and off for a week or more so I thought today, being Sunday, I would re-work the gravel driveway. Between the Rear Blade and the 770 and my keen eye for grade....it came out nice. Took me about 2hours working mostly in 2nd gear, low range. 10 minutes of hand rakeing and just a touch of back dragging with the bucket and I was done.

Should have taken some before pictures...but I didn't.

Looks like a pro did it, nice and level. :thumbsup:

Thanks.

While there is a crown there, it is much less this time around. I flattened the crown some and cut my edges back further than before. It does give it a rather flat look but, it isn't. The rain has got to run off somehow.

I may have a load of 1" gravel hauled in before winter to bring up the grade just a hair. Getting it in shape for the new 3pt. snowblower.

Thoroughly enjoyed my seat time today.:thumbsup:

Nice job! I had to laugh when I saw the back blade was yellow. I have a Kubota and may be getting a used green back blade (found one for sale, don't know any more about it yet).

I might have to take a can of orange paint to it if I get it so I can park it next to the tractor.

If it's green....It'll work.:thumbsup:

Ya, in the summertime when things are Green you can't find the darn thing. In the winter when things are gray it sticks out like a sore thumb.!!:laughing::laughing:
