- Kubota L3200 box blade and grading techniques!
In this video i use my Kubota L3200, with the front loader and the box blade to grade my driveway. Below are a few features and techniques that i us with my Box Blade, leveling ground, and then how to use a box blade to cut for water drainage, and then spread gravel for a nice finish.
To remove lots of dirt to fill in holes or low spots angle the forward blade by shortening the top link. this makes the box blade tilt forward. This will make the ripper teeth cut into the dirt, also the blade will cut into dirt, then the box will fill up with dirt. If you leave the box blade "three point" adjusted all the way down it will allow the box blade to fill with dirt and deposit dirt inside of any holes that you drive over. if you want to move a box blade filled with dirt to a low spot let the box fill on the high spot and when you arrive at the low spot simple raise the rear lift arms as your moving forward. Drive to the high spot again and lower your three point to begin the heavy cutting action again. The rearward blade will be up high allowing a few inches of gravel or dirt to slip under as the front blade is angled down it will ride up and over the portion being spread.
A level box blade's forward and rearward cutting blades will both scrape the ground but not cut aggressively. The box blade will fill with materials dirt or gravel when moving forward. Lowering the ripper teeth will fill the box blade faster and cut a little deeper. If the ripper teeth on the box blade are up the box will fill slower and not cut as deep. In these two situations the box blade will make smaller cuts and fill small holes that do not exceed the width of the box blade. You can also use it as before by letting the box fill and then raising the box when you approach your low spot to empty the box out over the low area.
Tilting the box blade backward, will not cut pulling forward but it will drag loose material to some what level. I use this setting for finish grading to smooth out material I have already spread. In this position the box blade will cut aggressively when backing up if the three point is all the way down. If you raise the three point of the box blade driving in reverse will push and spread piles of material to a set thickness based on how high the three point is raised. Backfill a ditch or similar is where this is mos handy. Filling in
against a house foundation you can back in with the box blade and fill right up to the house's foundation.
All of the above has come from lots of seat time, the best way to figure all this out is to practice, and the biggest thing it so make adjustments often.

Finally someone who does something! Most of these videos are people who stand in front of a camera and TALK for 90 percent of the video. Thanks for telling what your doing WHILE your doing it!
A hard day's work on a tractor is better than any day in a bar.
excellent, especially your narrative on wife and gravel purchase@@@ I find driveway clean up the most fun of all my work up in Vemront.
Your text on using the box blade was 100%, most of us take years to learn it, common sense but people should be directed t read it to learn quickly what many of us learn over years.
Beautiful work!
Wow that turned out really nice, looks like a real nice place to live, Good job.
Really great finished look smooth you graded it nice and the gravel has a superb look to it
Love the time lapse. Great video !
You did a fabulous job. Place looks so much more "finished" and it sets off your gardens and home.
Awesome job grading and smoothing!
Really nice, love the high-speed action.
Great job... Looked great.
Beautiful property!
Great video! Very helpful, love the tips. Great advice. Thanks!
Just discovered your channel, I think I'm hooked. Keep the tractor content coming!
That Kubota tractor and the box blade is working just fine and did a great job of leveling up your property and the gravel you purchased really helps in improving the road to your house and I hope your wife is pleased with the work you have done to improve your home and the road up to it.
Looks great. You do nice work.
Awesome Video .... This is the first You Tube video I have seen were I didn't feel bored thru unnecessary redundancies the fast forwards were Great excellent video composition ....Thank You
Nice job, thank you. My project of flattening out 40 foot long x 4 foot high mounds of dirt pales in comparison!
Beautiful lay out and great work with the tractor I'm a bit jealous
You did a great job, keep the good work and videos coming !!!!
That's impressive...I have to do some of that type stuff at my house with my bx23S....I'll be referring to this video...thanks
great time lapse. good explanation and technique too
Great job Daniel. Great video work as well. Your place looks really nice. Thumbs up.
Awesome video.
Great job.
Great job and very nice place.....
Good job on the grading, looks good.
Nice job!
Great job. I plan on putting in a similar driveway myself. Seeing this video makes me less afraid that I will screw it up. :)
Man I totally hear you about getting the grades just right with the tractor, LOL but you did a great job!
Great job
Oh, great Total video just finished the full watch. Thanks
Awesome video
Enjoyed your video especially the time lapse. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. Blessings to you and your family. ☝️🙏🙌🇺🇸🎯
that was awesome great job!!!!
Great video showing good skills with the box blade. Gives me hope I can smooth out our 1100’ driven on a semi yearly basis. Cheers,
Beautiful job brother
Nice keep up the good work. I have a few Kubota tractors as well very handy.
You did a great job making it look nice. Wish I could still get 3 - 23 ton loads for $1500. Close to double that today in my area. Great video.
I weld a ball hitch to almost every attachment that can support one. I have one that I cross drilled for a pin that drops in a hole In the center leading edge of my bucket. That one is super handy.
Hi Daniel! I enjoyed the video and just subscribed. I have a Kubota L3901 and have really enjoyed using it. Wish I had bought it years earlier!
Great video! Very informative and THANK YOU for speeding up the parts we didn't need to sit through. Others could take a lesson from you.
Nice video good job thanks for the advice👍
Good video!
awesome vid
Good job!🥃👍
Very, very informative and entertaining video! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us 👍
I really appreciate you watching, I’m glad you got something out of it.
just remember "happy wife, happy life" good job I built an extension from our driveway 250 ft to our pole barn made my wife happy 40yards of double regrind concrete
Great skills 💫💯👍👍👍
Nice job BAB video
Just found your channel. Good stuff. I have a 3301 with the same toys you do and we live in Poulsbo. Cool to see another local guy on here. Take care.
Nice video! Glad I stumbled on your stuff man! I live not too far away in the Seabeck area. Keep up the good work. Maybe some more in video description of what you’re doing & why.
Well done man, looks very much like Washington? Trees and brush and clouds.
I don't know about your soil there but where I live I had to put down 3" - 4" rock to build a base that is stable enough to resist washout in heavy rain. Probably different everywhere.
Hello fellow Washingtonian I'm on the other side of the state nice video man. I love your property. I found your videos because I'm looking at buying a new Kubota.
Crazy. Just watching a random video. See Morrison and I’m like hey, I know where they are. I live up off Mullenix and Phillips Rd.
I appreciated your video. I a local from north kitsap area, so the plug for your gravel company is helpful. Thank you for posting this. I found it informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Great! Thanks
You can also put a hydraulic toplink on too.......I'm thinking about it, but we've had so much rain for two years.
Fantastic job!
Looks great!
Good jobs
Gig Harbor here, nice tractor work and leveling. Looks like you used the Gorst Quarry crushed minus rock, that stuff packs so good and will last longer than the other crushed minus rocks.Steve
Nice.
Very well done, both video and work 👍
Thank you!
We call that black stuff profilings .. it packs in like asphalt ..bloody good shit 👍 PS you are pretty good on that Tractor .. made me wanna buy one 😊
Great video. I'm doing the same thing today. Like your time lapse, lots of info without watching every move.
Rad video. Beautiful house. And you are in Port Orchard? I'm in Wa too. Cool timelapse stuff. Great video.
cool
Agree with many of the other comments . Better to compact the soil as much as possible before gravel. Generally you will need a 4 inch gravel base . You will be adding that much again soon then it will be ok with resmoothing with box blade regularly.
I find it best to put a couple of inches of larger stone or slag up to 2 inch or more if soil loose. then top with about 2 inches of the size range you used. Maybe if you have high clay soil you will get by with about 2 inches for a while.
Wow, spectacular job. How does a person learn to get all these angles so perfectly. You did not appear to use a transit or anything and it looks like you have the perfect gradient for water run off.
Lots and lots of hrs in the seat.
The problem with my BX25 isn't getting implements on and off the three point, its getting the dang backhoe off and the whole three point hitch back on!
Grate joob boss
Good video, liked the time lapse. I would however, like to have seen a bit more on the techniques and thought process before hand. Otherwise it was informative & easy to watch. I Would also like to know, how many hours you had in the project?
what brand and model box blade you using?
Could you please make a video on maintenance of this tractor. Like fluid changes
It will be a little bit I just got my tractor home after 7 months, I have just started repairs and maintains videos.
What number stone did you put down in this video??? Thanks
Old video I know, but any more information on that front gate?
I am in western Washington and gravel is very expensive. Pierce County here requires the use of a special drainage type gravel.
Try McClain’s Soil Supply, I have used them and I like them.
What do you do for a living?...all the niceties and luxuries...i need to be in that business lol
Silly me -- I watched this expecting to see demonstrations of techniques... The video talks a lot about WHAT was done, but none at all about HOW to do it. You may want to modify the title of the video to more accurately reflect the content. You clearly know what you're doing with the equipment, so it's disappointing that I wasn't able to learn how you did it.
Completely agree, waste of time.
The little techniques shown was filmed at high speed instead of when he was talking
Lol instead of whining you should just carry on
read his text, it is spot on and will make it all make sense quickly. Learn what took me years in just a few minutes of reading.
The problem with people that take on use of equipment and find they can get 75% done with just going out their and trying, is that they can then waste years doing it wrong, me included. When you work with somebody who knows, you race through the learning curve. This video was spot on if you also read the text (assuming one can read), wish I would have seen it years ago, but finally learned it all through time and money.
The before pictures of that driveway look better than mine ever did.
Seems like this whole project is just an excuse to drive your tractor... and I think any excuse to drive a tractor is a good one :)
I always tell people if you buy crappy equipment you won't want to run it, on the other hand if you buy high quality equipment you will want to run it. Yes, you will find something to do with it :).
I don't usually post comments, but great job! I have a similar situation, similar property. Constantly have problems with puddling, constantly running one my 3000ft driveway with my box grader or land grader. You run your tractor like a pro. Do you do tractor work professionally?(Just curious....I live on the other coast)
Nope I don’t do it professionally, I end up helping out friends and family with tractor work, I have also assisted with building several houses and doing most of the dirt work for that.
Curious as to your hydraulic top link system on your L3200. I have the same machine and am interested in installing such a system. Having to climb down and manually adjust (especially when using a box blade) is a PITA. Nice video!
So I don’t have a hydraulic top link. I have made a quick adjust top link. It’s a mechanical version. See below link.

how are you controlling weeds in the driveway?
If you don't mind me asking what is the dimensions on your garage?
I have a similar tractor, only it’s green. Have you ever considered tooth bar for your front end loader? The reason I ask is I’m considering getting one. Mostly to help with some minor digging and getting out some shallow roots as well. Let me know your thoughts. I enjoy your content. Thank you.
Travis Higday I’ve looked into it quite a few times and I’ve almost bought it on Amazon. However I find that I used the front loader to back blade to smooth everything out and having that tooth bar on their leaves lines in the finish. My uncle has a tooth borrowed his Kabota and it leaves lines when he’s doing final grade. That’s why I haven’t got one.
My same thoughts too. Thank you for the reply!!!
9:51 he is greasing the tractor again
Interested in that mobile fueling station. Where did you get it.
amzn.to/2VoCLlD this is the link to the tank.
How long was it until the gravel disappeared without fabric?
GSA (crushed asphalt) is alot cheaper and packs well. That's what I'm putting down. $10/ton delivered.
What state are you in? Here in CT it is hard to get GSA because it is an 'environmental hazard'!?!?
@@douglashughes2331 Whats the hazard.
Thanks for the response as I'm planning on using a lot here in michigan.
@@brettblack7049 no idea, that is what the state says
Ha! I knew it, Morrison gravel
You might have benefited from some driveway fabric to prevent the gravel from washing done into the soil after a few years. Relative to that beautiful expensive rock you bought, fabric is pretty cheap (I bought the commercial grade stuff on eBay).
In my opinion that gravel is going to be dissapearing into the dirt after a couple years of rains. Compaction is really important and with all the equipment you have, suprised you dont have a heavy roller...maybe you do.
then you order another load, some of course will disappear over time. Once you get enough gravel down you can use the box blade on the driveway and pull up alot of the gravel you lost.
Those trucks are registered at 105,000 pounds. So either they are limited by bridges in the delivery area, have an extremely high tare weight, or he is wrong on the yardage. Here in Ny, the max is 80000 and you can get a quarry truck to 23-25 ton legally.
Wrong you need A permit 105k that's a tag axle 56k twin 66-68k tri axle. no way that truck can haul 105k permit or not.
@@RUBBERGLOVE293 how can you say I'm wrong? Pause the video at 7:41. It says it right on the truck.
@@electrofelon I have been driving trucks for the past 30 year's. So I think by now I no the laws.
@@RUBBERGLOVE293 but the truck is still registered for 100,000 pounds. Your name should be rubber head.
RUBBERGLOVE293 exactly 80k is everything truck material and everything else and thats pushin it to the limit
I think you could do with a little less fast forwarding. Especially on the tractor where I'm trying to figure out what your actually doing.
How much would you charge for something like this?
Advice: Never mix natural gravel (ie round shaped pebbles.) into crushed stone as it 'lubricates' and destroys the surface and sucks mud to the surface immediately.
does your front end loader bucket have teeth on it or just a flat ? looks really flat when you grade w it.
Aaron Buehler just a flat cutting edge I find that the rippers in the box blade break up the dirt enough to move it. And I like the smooth finish that the loader bucket leaves
Daniel Woodell awesome! so did you adjust angle for run off? does quick attach let you adjust side to side angle
When you are working with the tractor is there a specific RPM that you run at to add life to the tractor?
So on my RPM gauge I have a yellow line it annotate the ideal PTO setting. I realize that the PTO setting is not something I’m using while I’m using my box blade however that is the RPM that I run my tractor out when I’m moving dirt like I am in this video
@@DanielWoodell ok thanks just trying to everything right in the beginning so i dont pay the price later
