Perform Initial Sub-base Grading

What happens here

Replace the grapple attachment with a box blade on the rear of the tractor. Begin by driving the tractor over any existing gravel paths or rough areas designated for the driveway. Engage the box blade to lightly drag and spread the material, beginning the process of leveling the surface. This initial pass helps to even out minor inconsistencies and provides a preliminary grade. The goal of this phase is to perform rough shaping, pushing loose soil and remaining small debris to define the basic dimensions and elevation of the future driveway sub-base.

Goal: The tractor is now fitted with a box blade and used to level existing gravel paths and begin rough grading in open areas, establishing the foundational sub-base.
