Welcome to TBN ! You are probably going to receive a lot of posts from other members who will advocate for the 3PH attachment they have. IMHO a heavy back blade with tilt, a heavy duty boxblade/scraper, or a product if my memory serves me correctly by TractorByNet.com | John Deere, Kubota, New Holland, and more! would work. Jay

So Jay, which one should I recommend? The ones that work, or the one that works the best?

I don't care for box blades or rear blades. The problem is they tend to make a rough road even worse. If your tractor hits a dip, then the blades goes up in the air. If the tractor hits a high spot, then the blade goes down and cuts a low spot. It doesn't take very long to create a roller coaster ride.

Roadrunner makes an attachement that you drag along the road. It has two blades. They both cut at an angle and spread the rock behind it. From what I've heard, it's the only attachement that actually works.

There are quite a few brands and names for it, but this is the one I know of.

Try looking at the Road Boss Road Boss Grader - Road and Landscape Grading, Surfacing and Leveling, and Material Spreading and Reclamation. I think MtnViewRanch had one but his was painted gray. I've had one of these about a year now and have used it several times. It is very good.

You are a stitch . I uh choose door #4. I really like that grader thingy as well as your layout of "toys" . I have to keep mine spread out so as to not agitate "She Who Must Be Obeyed" and "Who Always Remembers" . Luckily for me most of my attachments are covered by ice and snow except for my box blade/scraper which is very, very convenient for breaking up my ice field of a driveway this Winter(?). . My wife likes that attachment . Nice attachments BTW. I would have responded sooner, but dialup is a pain. Jay

That's what I was trying to find yesterday in my research. I really have to clean up my accumulated tractor related sites on my computer. Thanks- Jay

i would recommend one of theses to solve the diping problem. Works like a box blade but you can turn loaded and no dipping problem that is infamos with a 3pt Hitch

The Landscraper eliminates a lot of the negatives I've just read about in your posts. The heavyduty weight box lets you control the weight of the implement, hydraulic tilt (up to 12") lets you crown the road nicely for drainage, tongue goes through and connects to the back of the box/blade for strength, and transport lock lets you tow it longer distances to other locations behind your truck. I have never talked to any customer that didn't like the performace of this product, in fact, they complain more about their neighbors asking to borrow it.

Now I am not 100% sure, but the better the implement works on the road, the more $$$$$ that it costs. You just need to decide on which will work the best for you for your money.

Do you still have "Rabbit Ears" as an antenna on your B&W TV and a typewriter as well?
