TRACTORS AT WORK: SETUP/USE BOX SCRAPE BLADE FOR PROPER DRIVEWAY CARE/CROWNING/MAINTENANCE DRAINAGE

What happens here

Mount the box blade to the Massey Ferguson 240 tractor. Start the tractor and engage it in a low gear, such as third gear. Gradually lower the box blade using the hydraulic controls until its rippers (tines) dig into the gravel. Drive slowly along the driveway, allowing the box blade to loosen and spread the gravel. The goal is to break up compacted areas and redistribute the material, effectively grooming the driveway and preparing it for final grading.

Goal: Loosen and redistribute gravel on the driveway using a box blade.
