Driveway grader/ farm and feed bunks

   / Driveway grader/ farm and feed bunks #11  
most feed lots in our area use a box blade scraper to do drives and level and move dirt and even shape the corrals at times, many times called a speed mover, I have a old John Deere unit.

with the rear wheels one can set it for leveling of surfaces, dumping the load, and on mine and most have one rear wheel that has a fine tune, so if you want a tilt you can raise or lower one wheel to achieved that,

in the second Url one can see some have weight boxes to help them cut,

they work great, can move a lot of dirt, and level like a pool table is flat ,

about the only thing they do not work very well at is snow removal, and that is because snow forms blocks and does not flow like dirt,
and one needs a large area to dump the snow and you have to drive over it and work from the far end or you will end up with so much you will spin out or get stuck as there is a mound of snow between the tractor and the blade, you some times can not get the blade over or the tractor backed up, but you can remove snow if you think and watch what one is doing,

My latest brainstorm is an undermount grader blade for a big Case 580K backhoe. In the 1940s American Road Machine built machines based on the Ford, and Farmall tractors. Or when I was a kid the town I live in (low budget) used an old Gallion tow behind road grader. Its biggest challenge was a tractor able to pull it. The town used a John Deere 40 crawler.
